Maybe it's because there are channels that do it better. Like ones that actually take the time to explain what they're doing.

A fun addition to your setup may be an eddy current generator. Basically a drum covered in magnets that spins. If you run your scrap shreds over it, the plastic should drop from gravity and the aluminum will get a bit of a flicking action that can send it down a secondary chute into a separate container. Much less water waste, and less need for the drying step!

I appreciate your hard work, I pored aluminum back in my younger days. My question is have they ever asked you for a test sample to determine what alloy you’ve melted down?

A tip: if your wires won't go through the the wire stripper, instead of shredding them (and of course making more mess for yourself) cut the plastic casing off with a Stanley blade and THEN shred your metal once everything is stripped from the outside and the core. Honestly this way saves you alot of time and sifting.

reenforce the tank with horizontal metal straps and you can add a second layer to the bottom with epoxy so the bottom of the tank can take more weight

nice i want your shredder so bad haha, when adding the water to separate the plastics and rubber from the aluminium, if you did a second wash with salt water you will get a better density separation from the plastics and rubber from the metals if that helps, and can always just reuse the same water tub for this part of the process, and could do a magnet belt and eddy current slide to try and split the metals once they are dry if you are after a more pure ingot only just found your channel and this video but seeing that shredder makes me want to get back into melting and casting so bad.

Hi new here, you are a true scrapper, not may left. Hi from Alberta Canada

Very funny beginning to the video! But it's all great stuff! And a completely original idea... ...which happens a LOT on this channel !

Looks like the American way of just using a knife 😂

"I wasted several gallons of water and electricity and burned plastic because i was too lazy or dumb to cut the plastic off the wires and wasted more time than it would have taken to just simply do that." There corrected the title.

Ive never seen your stuff but i love it

Does it work without the Pink Salt?

Fun fact Himalayan pink salt usually has the highest amount of led content of the table salts.

Are you going to continue this channel, could you update on ur situation if possible

When the giant fish tank busted and sent plastic scraps everywhere you shouldve realized this is a stupid idea.

tbh to everyone saying he should've stripped the cables with a knife, i think the method he chose worked out better for melting it down anyway. I'm no expert so don't take this comment too seriously.

Вспомнились слова моей учительницы по физике: "нагревай снизу, а охлаждай сверху".

When you'd rather work harder, than smarter.

Not sure if im reading this right but according to the current spot price thats about $37 worth of aluminum

I would be honored to be recycled the same way as these wires

Make a jig to strip the cover from the wire. Then chop the wire.

So he made $50 in aluminum. After all the expense, maybe $40?

Изоляцию после измельчения можно было не отделять от металла. Она сгорела бы при плавке. :)

Its like Murphy's law was targetting you at the beginning of this vid 😂, hope it was worth the trouble.

Love the sound of the metal melting the ice. I’m sure stripping the cable and separating from the ally would have been easier and quicker a sharp knife though. Still made a good video to watch.

At about 41 seconds it looks like you throw a mouse in the shedder too. 😂

At first glance i thought it was a pot of greens

That was a lot going on just to get the metal ready for melt 😂

If it was kilos of the stuff, it should be named aluminium ;p

как навести срач у себя в гараже

pretty cool process

If you have a crucible and a furnace why not just throw them in there whole why even strip? Would that mess up the quality of the final product

лучше заливать в консервные банки - потом при обработке на токарном станке меньше металла уйдёт в стружку

if you cut the outside large tube with a ceramic bladed knife then the three inside would be small enough to strip. I've done it before and sorry that happened as it was coming along. good luck.
