    I think you will find that actual margins are very thin. Adjusting the equipement to recover highest percentage is difficult when you change material. I would go very slowly and proceed after I had my hands on the actual machine I was going to buy. I would bring samples of material I know I can get my hands on to the sellers location and run real tests.



    You guys ever watch the videos of the pretty women feeding the granulator? I have and noticed that in most of the videos the output is consistant in size which means the wire being feed in is all the same. Stranded wire will not process the same as 14 gauge solid wire. In my opinion I think this is why you see the use of water table seperators to get the best return on the material.

    Remember not every place will buy chop Cu so you have to develope markets for it.

    Lastly on money if you pay cash no one can repo your stuff. Mike
