Recycling Hard Drives & Data Destruction Hammer Mill 

I was wondering the same thing. Yes They do have neodymium magnets inside

The pieces would get pulled off with the iron by the overhead conveyor.

I assume they will stick to the steel frame/sheet of the hammer mill in inconvenient places long before they get to the mag separator

Yep there will be extremely sharp chunks of neodymium magnets on that machine for the rest of eternity.

With enough labor, capital cost, and unit operations, you can achieve almost anything. Is your process economical and scalable?

@@nucleochemist. I'm a full time scrapper and metal refiner. In my garden shed I make on average US$ 250,000/year. I work hard for 10 month and then it's holiday time. 2 months in a tropical country, relaxing in my private house, as well as spending a lot of time far out on the Atlantic Ocean while enjoying Big Game sportfishing from my own boat. All my many different processes are profitable, and all are scalable/suitable for use in an industrial plant. In fact, many of the processes I use are actually "down scaled" from how large commercial recycling companies are operating.

​@@zero-wastesir i alreafy asked you some moths back on another video how you process everything srep by step. But i havent heard from you. You cant expect people to learn how to make it work like you do without sharing any knowledge to us. So either share or keep process to yourself but dont be suprised when you see peopler do what's above!

@@bbbruh8809. Which video are you referring to? The reason for not replying is that I have no spare time. I'm always scrapping. Please take the outmost care to correct spelling errors in your comments, use short sentences, and a formulation of simple and easy to understand writing. My native tongue is not English.

@@zero-waste i dont know which video but you talked about recocery of tin and types of solders, how long you submerge them before tin dissolves, and wires and components fall out, so no i dont remember which video i replied to. I noticed that you explained parts of your process (part 1, part2) i read those So you mainly do plastics and pyrolysis of pcbs Look i understand you dont have time But i am seriously interested in how exactly you do this step by step If you arent comfortable sahring it here on youtube, we can type on discord or email... Depends on you Sieving components is very smart, but how do you process each category? Do you get acid on cheap (nitric)? (i understand you get bromine and chlorine from fire retardants and pvc - - - > hcl + bromine for gold recovery) Do you smelt each category of sieved components? I dont know your process, guys at gold refining forum have many processes and all its about is precious metals, so i dont know your process for recovering all that is economically profitable, thats why i have so many questions. They dont do things in bulk like you do, so thats why i wanna learn from you I dont wanna spend my time picking each component, testing it. So your method must be really great, so please answer me if you have time, thank you.

There just isn’t much aviation equipment from a relative point of view. Everyone has a computer, not many have an airplane.

@@drewski5730 True to a point! However, due to there being such things as airplane junk yards. Chances are you'll get more out of one old plane than you will 5000 computer parts!

He looks hella young

I can also get you these drives
