It couldn’t possibly come on. The machine is 3 phase and the inverter was also off. While you are correct it could have been done safer the chances are very slim for it to come on
If you had it running on three phase it would prolly preform way better we had a beam saw for postform counter tops and it was very weak running on single phase with inverted power
Hi Mate, I am intending to scrap copper mainly from car harness(Car wiring looms). I was wondering if you have done these kinds of wires before and how much was the recovery ratio.
I have done them but they are tedious to do. I don’t know the recovery ratios right off hand but it would be a pain with a wire stripper. And you have to strip the harnesses first before it goes into this machine because they have metal in them and it will damage the blades
Having to manually feed small lengths of cable sorts of defeats the object to me, surely you want a machine that you can just chuck in unprepared cable without the time spent pre cutting and standing there feeding it in.
@@hobbyscrapper3576 I did a little more research, it looks like a "polymer systems hopper type granulator" I want to try to run already stripped wire through something like this to get it in a form that fits easy in a crucible for melting into bars and designs. I really enjoyed your video.
I don't get the big picture of all this. The machine seems unnecessary? Because at a copper smelter, why not just throw the wire into the red hot furnace direct, because the insulation would burn off.
because of HUGE amounts of pollutants to the air, very expensive to remove, and also it will contaminate the copper, requiring a more complicated smelting process. Copper wire is usually over 99% pure copper. So this takes less work than doing all the extra steps relating to furnace complications, and this way costs less too than all those other things. Also, it's possible to recycle some type of wire insulation, so that saves too.
