Metal Shredding/Recycling Plant, Complete Processing System: Aluminum, Electronics, PC's, Printers

Our largest scrap metal shedding hammer mill!! We ran three different samples in one: contaminated cast aluminum such as valve covers/oil pans/pumps, whole PC towers, and whole printers. These three samples are things we get asked about a lot and we have found a solution to increase their value, reduce their volume, and scrap them safely and efficiently with our scrap processing line. Most scrap is not a finished product, our machines help our customers get the most value out of their scrap metal by breaking the material apart and separating the valuable metals such as copper, aluminum, and electronic boards from the waste such as steel, plastic, and glass.

@DarkVoidIII 4 жыл бұрын

Two things come to mind, firstly, you need a second stage hammer mill before the magnetic belts, in order to break things a bit smaller. Second, it is actually worth while to prepare the material to be shredded beforehand instead of having it all run through unsorted. Regarding the metal belt pulling magnetic metals off the belt, the biggest problem I can see there is that the separator flaps for the belt actually were enough in some cases to push materials off the belt it was positioned over. This is mostly why your plastics from the printers were getting pushed into the metal bin. You also need a feed hopper for the hammer mill's output so that you can regulate exactly how fast and thick the material coming out of the hammer mill will be when it comes onto the belt.

Definitely need a second stage grinder. As for PC towers much better to strip manually to remove the bulk of the ferrous, then grind the rest. Save them HDD disks and cpus gold platinum and rhodium oh my 😁

@waynerainey2606 3 жыл бұрын

The average guy isn’t going to recompense from the initial cost on something like this because there are so many homeless “scrappers” around. Now if you own a small scrap yard you’ll make some money fairly quick and pay for the machinery. The average “hardcore” gold miner will make money with the turn key set-up as long as they have a good claim that’s been assayed a few times at like 1/4 to 1/2 oz a ton. Love your stuff and your videos Jason!

I was very interested in getting a shredder from your company. I phoned down there on Monday morning and was a given a number for the sale lady. I phoned back Monday afternoon and asked if I could talk to the guy that designed it. I was told no the owners dont talk to customers everything goes through the sales lady. Business must be good for you if you dont have to talk to potential buyers. Phoned back Tuesday and was told the sales lady wasnt in on Monday and would call me. I guess I will keep looking. Too bad it looks like a nice product.

Ink jet printers have very little salvage value, a couple hobby motors, a small board, flex cables, the head board, the scanner board assembly and steel rollers. All together barely a pound... rest is plastic rubber and glass. Some have a neat diamond coated rod that makes a great knife sharpener though.

The other thing you should consider is using a crusher and not a hammer mill. There are shredding videos on KZfaq that can shred a wide variety of materials and can even extract metals from the output belt. If you still want to use the hammer mill consider a sizing grate that loops back oversize materials into the crusher for a second pass.

@shadowzedge5793 4 жыл бұрын

I was actually thinking of the idea that involves this machine to make the really big stuff somewhat manageable and then feeding that material into another Hammer Mill to make the pieces even smaller yet and then hit it with the mag belt

One battery drill and 15 mins is what it would take to get the steel covers off the computer towers. There’s 60% of your ferrous real clean. Edit: I want to see your air table.

@grumpycat5991 4 жыл бұрын

15min is not free. It would cost the client $3.75 in just wages @$15/hr... (not to mention the other costs of doing business like capital costs, insurance, payroll taxes etc.) It quickly would get to closer to $7 in total cost to take apart a computer they can only get $8.00 for. Scrap prices have been going down, precious metal content of the components is going WAY down... Labor and capital costs are going up. At a certain point its not worth disassy. when processing on a commercial scale. if its not profitable to recover raw materials these items would go into a landfill, or recycling would have to be subsidized at tax payer expense. That's the reason mbmllc's clients are seeking out shredding and milling as a way to increase efficiency for the less profitable items so they can harvest as much value with the least cost. This is a ratio (cost in both labor and overhead vs. return on investment) not a single factor (maximum potential resale value of icomponents)

@christopherleubner6633 3 жыл бұрын

Ah save the cpus, ram, graphic cards and other bits from the computer towers and resell them or process for pm recovery. Can scrap one a lot quicker than 15 minutes if i was just going for the metal. The hard drive disks have platinum colbalt magnetic media coated with rhodium inside. At todays rhodium price of 20k an ounce i would be manually removing those putting them on a chuck and turning the datafoil off the aluminum or glass platters.

So let me get this strait you paid 3 men 35 minutes of labor + your labor burden + 35 minutes of fork lift time + the cost of maintaining the machine (repairs electricity, cost of space in shop, depreciation on the machine, interest on money spent) for $175. Is that correct? I don't see much margin there.

@mbmmllc 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. This was just a demo so probably not as efficient as it could be. Ideally it would be only 2 people (maybe one if you didn't need a picker if you ran a smaller screen) and so it works out to $300 revenue per hour, or $2400 per 8 hour shift. That is not bad money for a days work. I bet it would pay well for most scrap yards. The customers that buy our equipment tell us these machines are money makers.

@@huiwang6628 go to any large city and go down the alleys with a pick up truck. Hospitals schools good will mechanics garages etc. Have tons of junk they tra as h everyday. Most cities have a scap yard on the edge of town. Most people that scrap just dump it off the truck and only get 8 cent per lbs. If you sort it and break it down you get 25 to 60+ cents lbs. Thing is you generate tons of plastic trash and will have to rent a dumpster and pay to take it away. Plus you get all kinds of junk for thrift store and antique store's. Most people don't have warehouse to do it. We had 55gal drums for valuable metals, pallet sized boxes for nonmetallic metal, and a 25 foot dumpster for the light steel that's only worth 8 cents but you will get tons per day.
