    WOW!! Seems like when I get the big ones like that, the copper always wants to fight me! But...I always win in the end!! Nice tear down.

    Get a cheap demolition hammer with a 4-6 inch bit and a 2 inch bit. Sharpen the 4-6 inch, and cut a u shape in the 2 inch. The 4-6 inch will crack the case off and cut the stator in half in under 30 seconds. The 2 inch blade will pull all the copper coils out quickly.

    I did a 135 lb motor and got 11 lbs. of copper out of it and thought THAT was good. Holy smokes......this is a monster!!

    I do those pretty regularly, I can break it down in about 20-30 minutes. My biggest was about 500 pounds, out of a big screw compressor. I broke my thumb twice (I don't think the 1st was healed) trying to drive the copper out. After sitting in my yard for a year I finally sold the stator with the rotor a couple of weeks ago with about 10 grooves with copper still in them. I try to make at least $500 per scrap run, got that from last load of prepared steel. And probably have enough motors/transformers piled up to process for a non-ferrous run. A month ago I had a $350 Stainless run, guys were tripping at the scrap yard??

    What is the outside cask made of on those? Cast aluminum?

    Thanks for the video, currently trying to pull out the copper and is impossible, i will try this method.

      Make yourself a slide hammer type puller, with a slightly curved hook on the end. Only cut one end off the copper will save a good amount of copper. Only need to tap that hook in lightly if you made it pointy on the end. Can easilly be pulled upwards with the stator on the floor with the bigger motors.

    So cleaning off the insulation adhesive etc makes it #2 copper from a #3 graded copper?

    • @simplescrapping
      @simplescrapping  Рік тому

      No my friend... We have here only two categories for the copper...(A-B) category A is for the clean copper wire and B is for everything else (pipes,winding etc)....

    @jayr9810 2 роки тому +1

    Guess it all boils down to what prices are. In my area current prices it would net an extra $15 to strip the copper vs selling as whole motor price

      At my yard they don't have a problem with some plastic on. But as I know many yards don't like it.

      I'd say a 9". Never heard of a 7, just 4, 4.5, 5, and 9"

    Only 8% of the weight are copper, here in Germany you got 5,50 Euro per Kilo. But its still good money.

      Older solar inverters are way more profitable- they have a big copper wound donut in the back. Weighed it at 17kg and after stripping it- 10kg steel and 7kg copper. Had 2 identical inverters total copper from both was 17.5kg.

    Reality
    Electric motor is .40 lb cdn that 60$ whole
    12.3 lb copper is $$62 cdn plus 21$ shread
    So $23$ gain stripping it
    Your choice I sell whole

    • @simplescrapping
      @simplescrapping  Рік тому

      Agree with you my friend... The thing is that here we have different price for motors... 0.45€/kg... So I will make at least 100% more money if I scrap them... In one of my latest video I showed that I had 180% profit...
