SHREDDING & MELTING 1615 Aluminium CANS!

  • In this video i'm shredding and melting 1615 empty soda cans to see how much aluminum you can get from them.
    This is only an experiment.
    I do not recommend this to do yourself because the cost of melting the cans would outweigh the profit.

      And then I melt them and pour the molten aluminium to form ingots... I repeat this process with all the crushed aluminium... 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 !

      for billions of years these molecules of aluminium have been happily bonded with oxygen or silicates, being inert earth. Untill a few hundred years ago when some human decided 'screw entropy' and used lightning to turn it into metal

    Shredding the can is so satisfying

    This was oddly satisfying, but what did you use them for?

    So when he scoops out the slag, what is slag really made out of? Is the aluminum made for cans some type of alloy, or is the slag the paint comming off of the cans?

    Man oh, man this guy is amazing, one thing after the other. First he has a shredder that has tank wheels, then He shreds 1615 cans 10 times over, and then he has an over size crucible and an over size furnace, and then he has two loud geese, and then he has a huge scraper,

    Much more compact. Now it's off to the recycling plant who will melt it into rolls from which more cans can be made.

    First time here, so can you sell that for a profit or is it just for recycling and a hobby? 😊
