Scrapping 382kg Electric motor. HUGE copper find? I break it down to find out how much moneys inside 

Hard work . Good luck man 🤙

All you needed To do was cut the outer casing with large grinder inner coil would have slipped out

That’s a big motor, good find👍

Experience is the best teacher..the dynamic at play is time verses return...a regular source of big motors might justify investment in tools.

I usually cut the casing and the field winding will almost fall out. I have a 7" angle grinder just for the thicker casings and for cutting through the windings.

Really nice 👌 find. That electric moter is huge. Lovely copper wire. Subbed and liked. Nightscrapper uk 🇬🇧 👍

Sledgehammer maybe better than axe?

Also use a blowtorch around the wire to melt the protective insulation and it will slip right out

Bad scrap bad!!!!

Get a bit of heat into that and the coils will fall out no bother

Nice video how many hours?

Seems like a lot of work for what youd get. I'd just take it as is haha

I scrapped a 200 ton rotor and stator out of a few power stations it was big enough to climb inside to cut it up

Electric motors pay 70 cents a kg where I'm from. You actually lost money. 25kg not to bad I expected 50kg plus from a heavy motor.like that.. Some of these heavy motors can be deceiving as far as the copper percentage..a lot of time and energy without the right tools. I've seen the Canadian treasure hunter split some huge ones apart with an axe or something similar but a grinder is a necessity.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Did a 380kg motor last week Split the housing with your big grinder Cut both crowns off Then use a punch to drive the remaining copper out I recovered 24 kg quite disappointed

Plasma cutter for case saw for one side of copper loops pull other side out with rebar an press

Yes Sir , it is too much work, right now here in the States copper is going for a little more than four bucks Stay safe S.A. Tx

Everyone in the comment section has plenty of criticism but nice work! These big motors are hard to scrap you did a fantastic job!

If you had that angle grinder, this might have been a lot easier??

Super

If the angle grinder was to big for the inside, than you should have used it to cut it open from the outside. That would saved you a lot of time.

I spent ages on some 1200 watt motors ...realised at the end..not enough copper and now couldnt get motor rate for leftover steel..so lose lose

Ain't no way that is almost 400kg

These u need air compressor with chisel it will break it fairly quickly if enough psi and the right chisel

This was a good video. You don't have to be nice to every naysayer and angle-grinder-lover.

Should cut the casting with a grinder make things a bit easier

I did the math and taking it apart generated almost no extra profit. It was very negligible, like $10-$20 difference

Wow.

So how much electric you use?? Grinder, air compressor. Than your time, gas to haul it. Here's the easiest way to do electric motors after you got em apart, burn em!!! Turn them red hot in a wood fire. Do not use water to cool them. Let them cool on there own or you going to make the copper brittle and you will loose alot when you try to get it out. I been doing the scrap thing since early 70s. Yeah you loose a little in Goin from no.1 bright, to no1. But the time saved is worth it.

Painful to watch you gut a huge motor like that

big angle grinder from outside in?

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

They should make motors easier to take apart

Take inspiration from BigStacked channel

Damn I hope that motor wasnt in a working state.

What the heck? Who else would try to slam open a cast iron motor cover/case with an axe??? Try to do it with a sledgehammer next time. Using a proper way to take this monster or other electric motors apart would definitely be rewarding. Additionally you always have less heavy to carry!

Prob could've got more for the motor

How much you got from this work sir?

Why for the love of sanity didn't you use that Angle Grinder that was too big for the inside to cut the casing? You scrapped the rest like a champ though. I was wondering because it sounds like you have another Bigger Angle Grinder ut didn't use it.....

Be better splitting both sides with an angle grinder then opening it up with a hammer a chisel

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

How much was your scrap yard paying per kg for whole electric motors?

😂😂😂

Linguoer would have this apart no time flat.

Ur left handed thats the problem

You really tried to axe it?

air cchisel maybe

How many kilos of copper did you get out of it?

Nice but 10-15 hours is way too long man you should watch bigstackD Casting how he does it

Wow what a hog! Nice score! Have a good one Man

perhaps you should have dropped it from a high building 😝

Why scrapping those valuable metal 😏. This motor looks fine 🧐. Now how much energy and pollution will release in atmosphere to make new one.

I one day in 4000kg motors cutting metirial.. And all time in company my good performance..

000000🐴

You do it on the wrong way. But its ok

Very nice work of your scrapping, you have a new S,uB from me, i like too scrapping motors. Have a nice day

How much kilo chopper?
