Hammer Mills

Very cool and informative. All I come to expect from you.



One of these days when you have far too much time on your hands run some random insulated wire thru your granulator. Then do the gravity/water seperation thing and let us know how that works.

Thanks, Mike.

Mike I have already tried wire, of the copper and aluminum species in my larger mill. It does a nice job of making little ball bearings out of your copper there was no need to use water to separate the plastic from the copper merely shaking to bucket settles the copper bringing the plastic to the top for easy skimming.

The only problem was I had the small screen installed and I got some very fine copper powder along with the larger balls, had I used a larger screen this problem would have been likely eliminated.

The wire run was as you say only an experiment, It costs money to run that 7.5 hp electric motor were incineration costs me next to nothing

From my above post on the electro recovered copper from the cell, my yard pays out on number two fro that, I could melt it into dore then get paid out as number 1 but the added expense is not justified.

Besides it's not like I have tons of that type of copper, the little I do get is going to be turned back into copper sulfate.
