I see in most videos that the outside could be broken with a sledgehammer

I wouldn't believe it even if it's 382 lbs😂

Nice video how many hours?

big angle grinder from outside in?

Nomnomnom

Electric motors pay 70 cents a kg where I'm from. You actually lost money. 25kg not to bad I expected 50kg plus from a heavy motor.like that.. Some of these heavy motors can be deceiving as far as the copper percentage..a lot of time and energy without the right tools. I've seen the Canadian treasure hunter split some huge ones apart with an axe or something similar but a grinder is a necessity.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ur left handed thats the problem

Sledgehammer maybe better than axe?

Did a 380kg motor last week Split the housing with your big grinder Cut both crowns off Then use a punch to drive the remaining copper out I recovered 24 kg quite disappointed

How much kilo chopper?

Painful to watch you gut a huge motor like that

Prob could've got more for the motor

zoom

Wow.

wow .

Yes

Hard work . Good luck man 🤙

Take inspiration from BigStacked channel

Get a bit of heat into that and the coils will fall out no bother

You really tried to axe it?

Ain't no way that is almost 400kg

So how much electric you use?? Grinder, air compressor. Than your time, gas to haul it. Here's the easiest way to do electric motors after you got em apart, burn em!!! Turn them red hot in a wood fire. Do not use water to cool them. Let them cool on there own or you going to make the copper brittle and you will loose alot when you try to get it out. I been doing the scrap thing since early 70s. Yeah you loose a little in Goin from no.1 bright, to no1. But the time saved is worth it.

This was a good video. You don't have to be nice to every naysayer and angle-grinder-lover.

air cchisel maybe

Bad scrap bad!!!!

They should make motors easier to take apart

대단합니다

Everyone in the comment section has plenty of criticism but nice work! These big motors are hard to scrap you did a fantastic job!

Plasma cutter for case saw for one side of copper loops pull other side out with rebar an press

That is too much play there, you should at least have not more than 1 mm play there. I have just done mine now its fine.

I have 4 of them smaller thow

How much you got from this work sir?

Seems like a lot of work for what youd get. I'd just take it as is haha

Linguoer would have this apart no time flat.

Sorry its long Wanted to show the whole procedure with mistakes

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I did the math and taking it apart generated almost no extra profit. It was very negligible, like $10-$20 difference

lmao you need a real hammer

Very nice work of your scrapping, you have a new S,uB from me, i like too scrapping motors. Have a nice day

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

How many kilos of copper did you get out of it?

What the heck? Who else would try to slam open a cast iron motor cover/case with an axe??? Try to do it with a sledgehammer next time. Using a proper way to take this monster or other electric motors apart would definitely be rewarding. Additionally you always have less heavy to carry!

I spent ages on some 1200 watt motors ...realised at the end..not enough copper and now couldnt get motor rate for leftover steel..so lose lose

Experience is the best teacher..the dynamic at play is time verses return...a regular source of big motors might justify investment in tools.

perhaps you should have dropped it from a high building 😝

Why scrapping those valuable metal 😏. This motor looks fine 🧐. Now how much energy and pollution will release in atmosphere to make new one.

Also use a blowtorch around the wire to melt the protective insulation and it will slip right out

All you needed To do was cut the outer casing with large grinder inner coil would have slipped out
