In today's video I process some electric motors and start putting the stator/motor splitter on the motor wrecking machine.

Those fan motors, I cut them in half with a machete or a hatchet. Two pound hammer and hatchet takes about 1 to 3 minutes to cut then the air chisel removes the copper and a small propane torch to remove the strings..most average about 15 percent copper by weight. I usually buy 1000 lbs of motors at a wack. Recovery 150 lbs of #2

That plasma cutter is a bad-ass tool to have in the shop. Cool to see that blade in action. Love it.

Thanks, The plasma cutter is a game changer.

Those blower/fan motors are my favorite to dismantle. With the right setup they split and pull like butter and you can do a bunch of them quick. As you noted you need to hold the blade and stator both rigidly for it to work. You'll notice if the stator gets crushed like that it pinches the copper in the sides and makes it very hard to pull out. Or worse it twists around and just turns into a hopeless wadded up mess. Good luck with it!

@barryrankin587 26 дней назад

When you create the V block to hold the winding, you might want to have a slot in the V block for the blade to travel through so you can cut all the way through and not bottom out.

But I'll never pass up a pile of tin. People are hungry or desperate for drugs and will fight over garbage. Nothing found in the trash is worth fighting over, so I pass on appt of junk.

@silverlicious2086 26 дней назад

How much is copper there?

@janielunday5012 26 дней назад

I last sold copper 12/27/23. I stockpile my nonferrous for a big payday. But #1 was $3.58 back then and has increased since.

You could run that AL/CU mixed windings later through the granulator and the water sluice. I think that would be not so annoying, than cutting the strings in those windings with a knife. Perhaps the wire granulator setup will be finnished in a while, so you can send some buckets of mixed windings through it. Keep one those videos, i like watching them....Cheers.

@scrapman502 26 дней назад

You should save all of those aluminum/steel rotors you're pulling from the motors. You can put them into your furnace and melt off the aluminum to make bars. You can then put the remaining steel in your steel pile. If you make bars, you should be able to sell to scrap yard as CAST, because you've already proven the metal was cast into the bars you made! (you can show them this video for proof! Aluminumm melts at a much lower temperature than copper or steel and should come out quickly.

Use a v block under the blade because would cradle the motors for u

There are loads of those type of vices on ebay uk. / International sellers. Not expensive either, however the shipping would probably be horrendous.

Great idea with hydraulic sheer. I was gonna slow down a meat bandsaw with a metal blade, but I'm just not as mechanically inclined as u. The air hammer was the shit though! I'm very curious where u land on this. You have a huge advantage with Hurst spreader/sheer. That thing comes in handy. That's how I ended up with the hurst gas portable pump u gotta come get. Lol

@ProjectShopFl 26 дней назад

Thanks, I will try and get the pump soon

@bryanbradshaw4257 26 дней назад

@ProjectShopFl have a tempered sheer blade off a paper guillotine cutter. Buts like 48" of paper. I thought could be cold cut and used for a sheer. You can have that too... lol.... I realized I know nothing about hydraulics when comes to pressures and limits

@bryanbradshaw4257 26 дней назад

Also I found out why your prices are lower than my Chattanooga yard. Apparently Chattanooga, Long Beach and another... I forgot..... are the premium yards. So I lucked up and sell to regional transport hub for eastern US. They have a classification shredder that will blow u away! Like 5 tons every 5 seconds or better! Comes out in fraction % of sterl, aluminum breakage, copper fraction, etc. Company next door just got a Chips Act Recycling grant.
