How to Process Scrap Ac Compressors in under 5 minutes. 

thank you. Unfortunately I only spent about a week or so in Vilseck for a class. Most of my time in Europe was in Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria.

Thank you. Everyone has problems and screws up every now and then. A lot of the other people on youtube like to hide their screw ups and I feel as though that makes a lot of people watching those channels feel like they themselves are failures. I don't include all my screw ups in videos because a lot of it would make for some boring videos but I do try to make my videos real.

thank you

yes. Usually I shut off the generator by turning the fuel valve and letting it shut itself off. I had just come back from Europe at the time of filming this so even though I was running it daily at the time of filming this there were somethings that I had to do maintenance on randomly.

I made a prototype puller for the bigger ones and put a video on here. its not perfect and I tore it apart to do tires but it was pretty cool and educational.

How much do they sell for at a scrap yard?

Because By the time I get it off I've wasted so much time that the amount of money gained doesn't equate to the amount of money I could have gained by just leaving it on there and doing something more valuable with my time. I took a few off in the beginning. Not all of them are brass. so that's time spent checking, then you got to hold the thing still pick up your hammer and punch and whack the thing off. then put it in a bucket. the entire process takes longer than 15 seconds and your only getting about 1/10th of a pound of brass which goes for about $1.50/ pound or somewhere thereabouts. so each one is worth about 15 cents. I sell the steel for 7 cents a pound. so I make a bit less than 1 cent on it as is. I profit 14 cents per brass thing. I'm trying to make at least 33 cents per minute messing with scrap. so yes if brass is up and the ENTIRE PROCESS of getting them off takes you less than 15-20 seconds than maybe it might be worth the hassle, but honestly I would rather just move on with my life. because again you have to check each and every one. if I check one and its steel that's time wasted. I'm not just messing with one or two of these things. when I was running em I was running thousands of pounds of em at a time.

@@scrapmanindustries ok. I hear you. Everyone has a different process I guess and look at things a little different. I have a hard time letting good shit go. I'm surprised you spent so much time spelling it out to me. By the way I bought my plasma cutter because of your videos. Thanks bro.

@@woodguy76 you are welcome. and I used to also clean things till the point where everything was taken off. but somethings like dirty aluminum for instance I have learned to just leave it as is and move on to something bigger and better. it took awhile to learn that but its made me more money than sitting there taking every bolt out of a rusty scooter or stripping the fabric off of aluminum chairs.

@@scrapmanindustries ya I'm learning to leave stuff that can be left. I'm a little OCD too so it's not always easy. I appreciate you passing on the info bro. I really do. My backs screwed up so I'm watching a few of your videos before I go out.

I use fencing pliers to pull the copper out. I don't use Amazon that often but you can find them at TSC. (tractor supply company).

Plasma cutter look it up they got hood ones some are ok I got the hyper one 1300 bucks

The generator had some sort of issue with the carburator and fuel filter. I have since fixed it and not had any issues.

It’s got a 15 gallon tank. A bit on the small size but it works if you need it too

@@scrapmanindustries Thanks, I'm looking at the dewalt 30 gallon air compressor to use with the hypertherm powermax 30xp.
