Was an electric motor mechanic when younger. Used a hydraulic press with chain and pliers attached to pull coils out. Had a neat set up to cut off crowns as well. Used our burn out oven to clean the copper first. Brought copper in to recycle in 55 gal barrels. Work for a major soda bottling co. now and mainly have copper tubing.
Could you do a video of how you load big stuff alone and what tools to use and sio forth?? I am a female and have my own scrapping and I’ve been getting bigger jobs and I could use Al the tips and tricks on adding stuff alon or with little equipment/help
Unsure what the scrap yard consider that copper, number one or two or what. But after comparing your weights I did get a 277% increase if you got a good way of breaking down the motors that don’t take two to three hours, do this.
@@simplescrapping yeah, my yard gives.16 cents American pre pound. Copper prices are always changing but that pure copper price is where your money is always at. I always melt down any copper pipes into 3 pound bars to get double the price than if I turned them in without having done that.
I was watching your last video buddy... You have a lot of motors there... You have to make a start and scrap some of... Maybe if you just cut one of the end from each motor and do 4-5 of them each day... You've got some good money there buddy👍😁
