I scrap out motors and transformers for southern metals in Wilmington n.c. and make a good living at it, this transformer you see hear is a small one by my standers. the ones that i scrap weighed in at 3500 pounds. It had about 900 pounds of number 1 copper in it. My biggest electric motor was over 14000 pounds, that one was a lot of number 1 in it. I love my job scrapping. Charles Taylor out.
Of course this isn't a big transformer.... Just for me that I'm a HVAC technician this is a huge transformer 😁..... I will recommend you my friend to upload a video when you can.... it will be very interesting to see a really big transformer. Thank you for watching and commenting buddy😁👍
How an I get the steel portion out of my truck when the copper is off. Two young guys lifted in my trunk now when stripped of copper how do I get it out of the trunk at the scrap yard. Can't lift it way too heavy. My back is not good but I need the money. Was thinking if I could put either a trolley jack somehow underneath then just oust it over the edge of the old Toyota Camry. Or use the larger floor jack t just take half the handle off as it just is held together with one bolt. ANY BETTER IDEAS PLEASE?? HAPPY NEW YEAR 🙂🙂
Just did one of these. There great. Where can I find more? Please. Looking to get copper and brass and Romex,box, copper insulated wire as well. Cast aluminum also. Lead also. Most other metals especially steel pays nothing, pennies on the dollar currently here outside Philadelphia in the western suburbs.
Nice score of copper. 9kg per coil of chunky copper windings. I hope your scrapyard pays you a fair price for all that. The yard i went to (I don't go there any more) offered me only motor price. They said there was too much plastic and varnish on them. I had 36 kgs from 2 transformers from an elevator upgrade at a highrise. So they were a little smaller than that one, only 6kg per coil - 18kg per whole transformer. Great video.
Now Holy damn what a freaking bruiser look at that transformer I mean good HELL it's GINORMOUS !!! I'm guessing you'll end up with a whopping 40 pounds of copper alone from this mega monster friend !!! Great Video and thanks for sharing too mate !!
I am 71 years retired getting only $700 month from SS benefits,I like to start small business like scraping motors any suggestions where I can buy in bulk, please guide , Thanks
This one was from an elevator system... I don't have any good tips to tell you where you can find stuff like that...i get mine through my work...but you could go to the scrapyard and ask them if you could buy from them transformer or electric motors...
I had a transformer that big once, In fact, bigger, but it was aluminum. :(. A friend brought it to me in his pickup. He had to use a fork lift to get it in.
Good old days 😂.... I wish I could find more of this stuff... But I watched the one you've got and the many on your work bench... Those will give you some really good copper weight.
You have to file or cut the windings. If they have a silver color, then the windings are aluminum. If the windings are a reddish orange color, then they're copper.
I see the transformers theyhave in America have aluminium windings. Here in the UK I think they still use copper. A very lucky find I would love to tear one apart.
This was from an elevator that was upgraded.... I asked them if I could have that transformer and the automation system.... and they give it to me 😁. Just was lucky 😀😀.ua-cam.com/video/awYsuHVsJGM/v-deo.html
@@exO897 10+ tones? Wow brother... That's a lot of weight😁. Usually it's from 15-20% copper from most of the transformers.... But that's not a rule of course.... I hope you have 20%+ brother😁😁..... It will be great if you upload a video from those goodys my friend😁👍👍
@@simplescrapping I am yet to find out, generally it is believed 1 phase or single core transformers - 16-20% 2 COREs 20-25% and 3 phase (industrial or commercial) 22 - 30%. It does depend alot on what kind of transformer.
Please don’t do the ASMR fad it is so obnoxiously annoying it would’ve been a good video how do you been communicating through it. The annoying silence and playing with the copper is cringe.

I'm glad you have all those huge motor and transformers videos great job buddy
Maks videos about it
I call bullshit. Transformer copper isn't number 1 on any market. So negates your whole comment.
@@neilsmiddy602 I never get #1 out of transformers but occasionally I can get #1 out of electric motors.
You must know contractor s well. Lucky guy!!!
There's nothing better to see, All that lovey copper, it puts a smile on your face 😊great video my friend ☘️☘️☘️
True my friend... Copper has a beautiful color... Thank you for watching buddy😁😁👍

Wow that thing is full of copper. Scrapping with Grandpa here just checking in on my other channel
I do scrapping as a hobby as I recycle as much of the rubbish I do pick up as my job as much as I can . It is a very rewarding side line .
My yard only gave me #2 copper price because of the coating on the copper. I thought that wasn't fare.
That is some serious copper. Great video thanks for sharing
Not bad for a transformer 😁.... Thank you for watching my friend👍

Scrap yards really try it on ,I don’t trust any of them anymore
8:15 really shiny copper! Great work!
If I wake up and my car sounds louder I know where to look???hehe.great score
Why is watching someone stripping copper from a transformer so relaxing?
It's also relaxing for simple man--he gets to unwind.
Now Holy damn what a freaking bruiser look at that transformer I mean good HELL it's GINORMOUS !!!
I'm guessing you'll end up with a whopping 40 pounds of copper alone from this mega monster friend !!! Great Video and thanks for sharing too mate !!
It was almost 60 pound of copper my friend😁😁. That's why I believe that the size does matter🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thank you for watching and commenting buddy😁

Thank you very much for your support 😁
In che macchine sono usati questi trasformatori da 400 libbre?
Io in Sicilia dove posso procurarmeli?
This one was from an elevator system... I don't have any good tips to tell you where you can find stuff like that...i get mine through my work...but you could go to the scrapyard and ask them if you could buy from them transformer or electric motors...
Hi mate nice video, new sub from the uk. that’s a good load of copper.
I had a transformer that big once, In fact, bigger, but it was aluminum. :(. A friend brought it to me in his pickup. He had to use a fork lift to get it in.
Honestly I would have cut that case with my grinder and just dumped it out instead of struggling with it
Some people have fun taking stuff apart.
omg that whas big one alot of copper ;) woow never seen that big awsome ;)
great video
And it was very heavy.... I would say around 200kg total weight... But worth the effort 😁😁
Nice bit of copper, missed this video somehow !
Good old days 😂.... I wish I could find more of this stuff... But I watched the one you've got and the many on your work bench... Those will give you some really good copper weight.

Hi my friend 🙋♂️ I have prepared a great video about copper for you, please watch it🙏, you will like it➡️ ua-cam.com/video/6qywt1K7Ca0/v-deo.html
Some insulation has very toxic materials in it. Always put filter mask on.
mmmmmmmm Yummy Copper. My furnace would thank you.
Where do you find transformers like this?
Nice
Question for all fellow scrappers is there any specification on the ID tag of a transformer to tell whether it is aluminum or copper winding ?
Hi my friend 🙋♂️ I have prepared a great video about copper for you, please watch it🙏, you will like it➡️ ua-cam.com/video/6qywt1K7Ca0/v-deo.html
You have to file or cut the windings. If they have a silver color, then the windings are aluminum. If the windings are a reddish orange color, then they're copper.
Over $200 US,,,VERY NICE!!!
Thank you my friend😁... Not bad for a couple of hours work 😄😄
Good job.
Thank you my friend😁
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wht is the percentage of copper in motor?
Wow nice find, what type of machine is that use very big transformer mate it's very nice for copper recovery?
Fantastic
Thank you for watching😁
Good job bro✌
Αυτό είναι λάφυρο !!😉
Beautiful copper Simple Man. How much profit did you make?

another great video of making something useful into junk
Useful?...... I'm sure that you don't even know what it is....
@@simplescrapping its a transformer. That which transformers high voltage to useable voltage.
What is the total weight of core and coil?
The core was 107kg and the coil was 27kg
That’s a lot of copper!!
Not bad😎.... Thank you for watching my friend😁😁
I see the transformers theyhave in America have aluminium windings. Here in the UK I think they still use copper. A very lucky find I would love to tear one apart.
Thank you my friend😁. I wonder the same thing about those aluminum windings....
That was massive >D
😁😁thats what she said 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...... Yes my friend... it was a pretty big transformer. I never had bigger. Thank you for watching my friend👍😁

Boom Copper Payday Opa Sir

Your hands must be like leather I can't fathom scrapping without gloves. Plus using a cutoff wheel. UGH OUCH 🤕
Manly hands✋✋
What kind of nuts and bolts are they?
Are the bolts and nuts brass or??
@vincentsmith4259 yes they were brass.
Ok thanks
Safety glasses are on top of his head. LMAO 🤣
Oof da. That's a big one. Where did you get that one?
Did that read 59 + pounds? Very nice. I like how it barely fit in the bucket. Great video.
Shiny copper is sexy..... I just made it weird. Sorry, lol.

Did you get that transformer from a scrapyard?
I'm from Greece my friend😁. I get that from a job were they upgrade the elevator and give it to me for free 😁😁😁
@@simplescrapping wow for free
Scrappers God bless you and who has given you that beast. 🙏🙏
how much was steel in there?
I don't know my friend but I believe that was 120+kg ..... I still have that piece of steel but I don't have a scale for that weight 😁
@@simplescrapping actually I also do recycling
I have 10660kg of transformers to open so just wanted to know how much Copper recovery one can get.
@@exO897 10+ tones? Wow brother... That's a lot of weight😁. Usually it's from 15-20% copper from most of the transformers.... But that's not a rule of course.... I hope you have 20%+ brother😁😁..... It will be great if you upload a video from those goodys my friend😁👍👍
