Personally I think its a waste of money and there isn't that much wire that's six inches round to begin with. Only place I have I have even seen it is in a steel mill. Most wire processors only do up to four inch wire for a reason. I can't see installing something that expensive just to process 100000 lbs of wire. How long did it take to build up that inventory of wire?

Well we seem to disagree on this point as well. I have a very different business model than you. I don't deal with the public, I seldom deal with yards. I get most of my business from corporate accounts, wire manufacturers, utilities and other manufacturing. It took me a week to get that wire as it was shipped from an account of ours. We have quite a demand for the machine already and expect it to be running 3-5 days a week. I am not nor do I ever want to be most wire processors. I also don't expect to get a lot of 6 inch wire but I do get a lot of 3 or 4 inch and that will work nicely.

The investment is not too much if you have the work for it. We also will be importing soon as in first quarter of 13 I plan to open a place in Asia and will be shipping copper here.

I see you making good, and I mean GOOD money in under 2 years. Solely dealing with corporate accounts, you will always find, that will have greater results than individual ones.

I deal with both, but I definitely see the bigger pictures with corporate accounts that I get in.

Hello Jim, not sure if you are still on here or not. I am getting into the scrap game here in Canada and have potentially lined up some good contracts, I was just wondering what size granulator and investment I would have to get to process up to 2 inch tech in a granulator. I have bought a wire stripper and bought some unstripped teck from the jobsite I am working on. I have taken in about 19,000 lbs in past month out of my garage on a part time basis. Also do the granulators take the teck as is with out taking any of the rubber or aluminum armour off it? One job here that I have a shot at getting a contract for will be pulling in 1.5 million meters of teck so lots of scrap. I am also talking with the local cable supplier and the salesman says they send out tons a month in scrap.
Thanks
Kevin
