granulators would make you believe that you get nearly 100% recovery which is not true. It seems to take some practice to get the set up right. HighVoltage has the real knowledge on this stuff. Like most things knowledge is not free. Keep us posted on you progress, Mike.

Expect your system to have 2-5% copper in the waste. After looking at many systems I have yet to be surprised at less.
Thanks for the input guys. It seems that the two of you have spent quite a bit of time watching youtube and visiting the machines that our suppliers competition produces....this may have jaded your views. You've seen the rest, now take a look at the best! Lol.
In all sincerity though - Miked - it does take practice to get the right set up. Fortunately this company has been designing and producing these machines since 1980 and at this point, they have it figured out.
High Voltage - These machines do in fact utilize very special seperation techniques. The pulverizer (turbo) is patented and can be found in no other
granulator machine. This allows for optimal seperation. As I stated earlier, there is dust that is produced but 2-5% is nowhere near an accurate estimate. I'm a little confused by the electric shock comment....would high levels of copper dust in the waste bin cause a shock? I spent about 20 hours on two different machines in scrap yards last week: routinely scooped handful of "fluff" out of the back to see if I could find copper dust, never once got shocked?
