    At first I kind of wondered why you'd run the bits through the shredder that many times...

Then , as you know that there is some slag left in every batch.. so I collect all the slag and try my luck on that, hoping I get some aluminium out of that too.. I turn them to ingots too!

    One funny thing is all the transfers, not even counting the cans' unknown life before the video. Ride in the motorized transport. Go into another plastic container. Take a trip through Nightmare on Shred Street. Land in another container. Get poured into another barrel container. Get poured into another plastic container. And that's not even the best part which is yet to come, lololol !

    Recently in a video a Russian guy used equal parts table salt and baking soda (about 1 table spoon each per kg of aluminum) as flux, to dry up the slug and oxides, so that "foamy" stuff that's being scraped off contains less aluminum, and the ingot doesn't have any bubbles, so is ready for machining right away.

    He got 40% useless slag... Correct me if I'm wrong, but could he had not obtained a larger melt turnout had he NOT wasted time shredding the cans over and over, thus creating more surface area and potential oxidation points in the metal?

    If you keep doing large amounts cans try to buy a bottom dump pot like the bullet casters use.
    As the the aluminum melts you can add more scraps but draw off aluminum

    Not only would the cost of melting them down out weigh the profit but at least here in the states they wont accept aluminum ingots or at least my local recycling depot won't
