Copper recovery from fine copper wires. In this experiment, I'm using a DF-40S hammer mill to pulverize fine copper wires and then using a blue bowl to separate copper from junk.

You were that kid at school who had to touch everything! Great to watch this process. I’d love to see the pulverised material under the microscope because the separation of metal and plastic would be interesting. Great work

Yes it is. It was a small sample for an experiment, but I might do video on a bigger scale maybe 30 lb of wire.

Hi ! ✋️ I like the method of grinding and separating with water, there are plenty of good plans to avoid breaking the bank or wasting a lot of time stripping. keep up the videos like this one, it's great!!!💪💪

The wash water will be pretty full with micro plastics and particles, with pcbs you will get more cemicals in it also .do you discard it into the suer,? The micro plastics can be hard to separate out in the suer treatment plant. The pcbs often have flame retardant chemicals on them ,this is seriously not good to pour out in the suer If you plan on doing this at any scale with pcbs and stuff i would sudgest reusing the washing fluid ,to decrease Particles and chemical pollution. The fluids and waste powder should be treadred like dangerous waste When they are finely disgarded. If you evaporate the water all The chemicals could possibly be left in the sludge?

question, the amount of Copper gotten after finished, out weight the cost of the Electricity used to run the Machinery ?
@MetalScrapLab
@MetalScrapLab 5 месяцев назад
yes, I ran that machine for about 30 minutes in total in this video. I live in Florida with about 13 cents per kWh. The machine is rated for about 2200 kWh. I've used maybe about 30 cents in electricity for that 30 min of runtime.

Ignore all the naysayers because I'm sure their copper wash plant is far more functional than yours! Question for you? I guess the theory is that the water helps to float away the plastic insulation that was coating the wires. Do you think that the very fine grind you have taken the copper wires to might also help to carry away the copper that can't dislodge itself from the insulation??? I guess I am wondering if there is an optimal particular grind size that helps to pull the copper from the insulation that offers a higher yield from the insulation? Thanks for taking the time to post your methods and the results.
@MetalScrapLab

Some copper does stay tingled with insulation and floats away resulting in loss. I'm trying to balance between time spent and loss. I think in my other video I do run copper grindings a second time to untangle as much as I can. Overall I think it's about under 5% copper loss with one time grind, and maybe 2-3% loss with grinding twice in total. So, the second grind might not be worth it at all, but it does help slightly with untangling the copper from the insulation. The more finer the grind is the better copper recovery you'll get.

Thanks for the video, especially the hammer-mill link! Have you ever tried a wet shaker table, as used for gold? Mount Baker Mining and Metals on RU-vid has a few, even a video of their running copper chops and chopper waste, so you can see the results. How about a dry air classifying table?
@MetalScrapLab
@MetalScrapLab 4 месяца назад
I research a lot in that category, shaker tables, air and gravity separators. They are either too expensive or non existent the ones that I wanted. I can't find anything that's affordable or compact, but I'm working on DYI of my own system. It is going to be air vacuum dry separation, I might do a video on it ones I improve it.
@CuriousEarthMan
@CuriousEarthMan 4 месяца назад
@@MetalScrapLab I've been looking at them for a while, the dry air/vacuum classifiers. The most common I have seen is where the metal and plastic have a separatiion line on the table, and the metal moves toward the top, while the plastic migrates to the lower end. I'll send you a couple of links in a minute, as sometimes my comments get deleted, and I at least want you to know I am sending you something :)

so here's another reply. This link shows great plastic/metal separation at around 2:00 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-e0lmNctDg.html

another one on close-up of a table shows table material pretty clearly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FdmcMrvns8I.html You might contact them, Cable Management for some scrap table material. They might help you out! Some place sell replacement material, if you had to buy anything. Also, DC motors can easily be variable speed, if you use say, a car defroster blower and custom adjust the speed! A "three diverter valve", or a tee with a damper in it, can adjust blower or vacuum too. I'd love to see what you come up with!!!
