Today I broke down a/c compressors. Started out with 726 pounds (11 compressors). 2 of them were aluminum windings. Ended up with 14 pounds of oil, 3 pounds of dirty aluminum, 39 pounds of copper windings and 670 pounds of shred. Took a little over an hour and a half. Worked out to about 23 cents a pound or a little over 15 bucks a compressor at todays prices. They sure don't yield as much per pound as the smaller compressors but do come out better on an hourly rate. Now I need to start tracking which ones have the aluminum windings.
