SHREDDING & MELTING 1615 Aluminium CANS!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- 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.

New to the channel. As a fan of Gojzer, ArtByAdrock, and bigstackD... this video hit ALL my buttons at once. :-D
So much personality without a word spoken. Definitely subscribed!
Thanks man ! Really appreciate your nice words ! 🤟🏻
Definitely agree!! I was just about to comment BigstackD is weeping at all the dust lost in the shredding process lol
Have you tryed the bbs for a bb gun? Idk if they have gun powered so😬
Now those watching UA-cam PressTube are getting smaller
1615 cans and the video is 16:15 long
Coincidence??? I THINK NOT
Fancy.

At first I kind of wondered why you'd run the bits through the shredder that many times... But then I thought about how if you have a tactical light assault vehicle-mounted shredding machine, why *wouldn't* you use it as much as you can? :D Loved this one, thanks for taking the time to make it!
I wish I had a shredder as nice as his. I thought I was doing well with double shredding.
The past 200k people watching him shred metal: hmmm interesting
300K*

Metal shredding is satisfying
Then shred it again
500 k
In germany we dont say:
"Oh really satisfying"
We say:
"DA WAR NOCH PFAND DRAUF"
... And i think that's beautiful.💕

Can confirm; this is the most acoustically pleasing video I've heard all morning!
Watching a 2nd time with my eyes open treated me to such delightful birds, so adorable!
Thank you for brightening up my day!
At 11:36 the ducks are like *Ahhh hell naw!!! Lets get the hell outta here!!!* 😂😂😂
The volume reduction between crushed cans and shredded cans is amazing. Makes melting them much more efficient.
-Hey. what do you do for a living?
-Well, its complicated...
Well, you see...
I transfer shredded cans from bin to barrel to bin and repeat
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!
And I film all that so thousand of people from all over the world can watch that, with my gooses in background
So
-step 1: Have a party
-step 2: get all the used cans
-step 3: Shred them
-step 4: Melt and make them aluminium ingot
-step 5: Repeat
Conclusion:- HARDWORK IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS :))))

Back to the roots of this channel with this video. Memories when you used to melt soda cans.
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 !
My, the many things that the eyes of those aluminum pieces must have witnessed and experienced :)
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
Use flux please. You will get more aluminum and less trash.
I agree the amount of leftover material is indeed pretty high
Well he is recycling the cans
There will be alot of plastic from the lining of the can and paint so atlest about a pound to 3 pounds was lost per pasibly every 3 rounds
@@sherrychannel6766 aren't those usually evaporated during the process?
@@3sty216 most of it but there will be byproducts and they might also be carbon also
Great way to incorporate both the shredding and melting =) love seeing both. Maybe you can do it with some other kind of metal
Yep ! Already working on that ;)
@@PressTube What about shredding, pressing, melting and then pouring. Presstube without any pressing in such a long time. Am sure if you pressed them into a cylinder it would be neat.
@@PressTube instead of shredding wouldn´t ball milling be a viable option? or would it take just too long?
This dude has a tank shredder
You and BIGSTACKED need to do a project together somehow.

You could have been a millionaire in Germany with those cans
We get ten cents a can here in Canada at the beer store but I'm sure they make profit off it, maybe better to take them to the scrap yard yourself but that's inconvenient lol
really how?
@@shadrizzzle in Germany you pay a deposit of 25 cent per can
We get like 10 cents in canada so all of those would only get around $161.5 :/
Prof. esrever well in my canada I only get 5 cents a can 10 cents for the glass bottles
“The only time I needed the hopper” Ben 2020
It's such a shame that so much product is wasted as slag
Wouldn't this increase the surface area, allowing for more oxidation and a decreased output though?
Ya makes more slag. Just for us home smithers its annoying keeping trashbags of crushed cans rather than a scoop even with the loss
While you are pouring in the shredded aluminum, you should also add ¼cup of LITE salt and stir well. That will drastically reduce the amount of dross and increase the pure aluminum yield.
>1615 soda cans
>most of them are "Argus Pils" :D
🥴🥴🥴
@@flashwow1666 stop asking people to sub to you
Note for next time
Set up a conveyor, recirculate automatically
Put conveyor under shredder and transfer to another that feeds into shredder
Keep going till satisfied and then chute off to a bin
Once, once only
Oh I'm not the only one 💥🤩😁🤔😅👏💥
Hey PressTube! Love the video/channel like always! Keep it up stay safe hope you reach 3M subscribers and have an amazing day! 😁👍
This man. THIS MAN turned massive responsible resources. Compressed them into bars and etc. You really do care about the environment.
Fantastic idea and cool content
Hot content you mean 🤣
@@PressTube noice
@@PressTube you could build a thing that forced the shredded stuff back up to the top to cycle through until your happy. Yes, until your happy, this is all about feeling good destroying stuff right... Jk but not about the cycler idea!
What kind of Shredder are you using and how much does it cost to buy one like it
This begs the question, how long did it take for you to count all those cans?
About 25min
@@PressTube damn, that's not long
Liar ben
@@PressTube That's dedication!
@@PressTube had a question, what kinda things you use when melting in into and pouring out into, type of metal?
Someone who has the time too count exactly 1615 cans is a legend.
He started with a 161.50 worth of recyclable cans. Financed a 5000.00 shredder. A 600.00 melting furnace. 8 hours of labor. And now you have a 20.00 brick of aluminum. Great video.
That shredder looks like a beast! Very cool!
Dayum bro, the patience needed for this is crazy
If it was not shredded t would take way longer
So satisfying!! Keep up the good work PT! 👍
That must have been one hell of a party! Hehehe!! :-)
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,
Cans: NOOOOOO00000--
Shredder: Om nomnom nom nom nom
Испытываю удовольствие, когда вижу как перерабатывают мусор сырье. И сам кайфую от сортировки материалов. Не знаю почему.
You know you can just zero the scale after you put the empty box on it and it will remember it, right?
Was thinking the same thing lol
Mom: "The soup isn't that hot"
The Soup: 9:52
fantastic machine, very functional. I noticed the geese near the machine and many fragments of aluminum in the grass, isn't it dangerous for these birds to swallow?
Nice video, however, for optimal processing it could be optimized in many ways. I think you just enjoyed it, made a video hoping for many clicks.
As a layman, I would assume, if you hammered the chips into the crucible, you could've squeezed out more air resulting less AlO2.
Lord. Hope we was wearing a mask when dumping that stuff. Breathing powdered metals can't be good for you.
And you're right. It isn't
That’s all you got from this video? A safely police message.
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.
this video really grinds my gears 😂😂😂
Lol me to I have the same witty sense of humor
Cool video you should shred molten brass
7:06 And God said: “Let there be FIRE!”
Id rather turn the tracked chassis in to a sir killalot
PressTube: mom, can i have untitled goose game?
PressTube's Mom: we have untitled goose at home!
Untitled goose at home:
What is the name of that shredder and where did you get that
Put the box on top of the scale then press the middle button „0-set button“.
How old are you?
Much more compact. Now it's off to the recycling plant who will melt it into rolls from which more cans can be made.
Such an old can to melt bro
Which can are you talking about?
@@spacecasejlp5373 that's what I'm wondering
You should be great full he's doing it to keep trashe can occupied
Uhhhh i was just joking lol
I know 1615 is about the number of cans but why not fool around a little 😉
i commend you just for having the patience to do all this shit
5:06 the shadow of the camera kinda looks like a deformed skeleton

"Aluminum dust; Dont breathe this!"
Actually don't breath any kind of dust

so satisfying seeing cans getting shredded
actually... have you made a master sword from the legend of zelda?
The sound of the cans being shredded where soo satisfying

not gone lie but this was pretty intresting
This man turned cans into glitter, melted that glitter down, and turned that into a loaf
Hi
Try doing one. Where you save all your cans for the year and then at the end shred them all
PRESS TUBE. IS YOUR NAME FOR FFFF SAKE
Huh?
weirdo
Fantastic and entertaining video! You'll be at 3 million subs in no time! Big accompaniment. Congrats!
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?
Me: Tries to figure out the country of origin by looking at the beverage brands
PressTube: It's a big secret, as long as you don't look at the lower left part of the video!
Shredding the can is so satisfying
That's one hell of a backyard.
Dude this video is so satisfying
Counted piece by piece😱😱😱
Such a hard worker
Add table salt to the slag. It'll flux it and extract more aluminum
I'm 100% certain the ducks were calling for reimbursements 🤭
That shredder tank is cool as hell
Press tube: hi aluminium cans
Cans: hi what are you doing
Press tube: getting ready to shred you
Cans: please no I have children
Press tube: in you go
Cans:AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
7:06 the most badass way to light the foundry 🤘🤘🤘
I’ve no idea why I’m watching this. But I like it😍
Ben, you are gonna set your wood pile on fire!😂
Im 9 years old and im enjoy it this is fun More more we want more we love your channel nice good job🤩🤩🤩🤩
Your ducks sound like raptors, AWESOME
Grinding them up beforehand is gunna dramatically reduce your overall yeild. Was there a reason you did this instead of putting the crushed cans straight into the crucible?
thats one way to help prevent ocean pollution!
He puts his gas furnace right near the stack of firewood... This man lives on the edge...
A real maverick....
Don’t worry, the wood will not burn. My clothes will catch fire faster then the wood ;)
What size and how much?
Would someone please tell me where I can purchase one of those compact shredders? Much appreciated.
I would also like to know how to get my hands on a shredder like that. I have a shed full of aluminum plus more outside that I need to break down. It would make melting them down a lot easier.
In Germany, this cans would be 403,75€ (486,54 USD) worth of one-way deposit.
WHERE DO YOU GET A SHREDDER LIKE THIS
I was thinking the same thing. I would love to have a shredder like that
Interwebs
pressTube: has friends over*
also PressTube: hold up guys lemme take my geese for a walk
Can someone explain to me the reason for shredding? Like does it get a higher or more pure yield or something?
Filling the crucible with shredded cans will fit like 200 cans at once. When you don’t shred them you can hardly fit 20 of them. It will take an entire day, or even 2 days to melt that amount of cans when you don’t shred them.
@@PressTube Also safer. If you put unshredded cans in there's a chance for a steam explosion.
next to the firewood. perfect!
wow...sheesh. I'm speechless on this one. nice machine for sure

Your videos are so satisfying!! Your good at making people stop having anxiety and overthinking it’s relaxing
Nobody gonna talk about the shreader being on tracks?!?!
also if i may randomly inject a question, do you ever make bread or cake with eggs from what i presume are big geese? i bet that could be interesting no?
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
