Hello,no updates Iam still running the setup the same as seen in the videos which is water separation and then finish off with the vibrating.Thanks for your comment.

Yes it was below freezing when I did this video,thanks for your comment.

Hello,yes I mostly do car looms and the yield is around 72% and that is after the plugs and tape have been removed,thanks for your comment.

Yes thats correct, I bought it from a plastics factory and it was used for granulating the seconds from an injection moulding machine.

Hi,yes I have had some problems,the main reason being some yards are not setup to handle granules because they are too small and can easily "get lost".Also some yards will give you less money than you would get for number 1 bright because they dont know what is in your granules, maybe there could be some tinned wire or even some brass mixed in.Its just a case of building up a good relationship with your yard.The last time I weighed some in I used CF Boothe in Rotherham,hope this helps and thanks for your comment.

Yes I think that water separation will have abetter yield,thankyou for your kind comment.

Yes I have had the same problem,some yards are not setup to handle copper granules,but if you shop around then will find a yard that will take granules,thanks for your comment.

thankyou

yes I have done things such as copper from plugs and also circuit boards,I normally mix it with smaller material so the granulator can cope with the load,I do have a video showing this, kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYqbfX2lp7GBoZY .Thanks for your comment.

Hello Andy,I started with the granulator first and then developed the water system.Devon is very nice,ive been a few times,Regards Dave

it would be hard to do because the granulator screen would have to have very small holes and I think they would get clogged up easily ,maybe you could granulate the plastic first and then use a sieve to separate the powder after.But ive never tried to make powder.

Hello,the motor has a capacitor included in it and then it plugs in.

@@corsagafa I've Just Bought A Very Similar 2.2 kw Motor, It Has Two Capacitors On It & Was Told They Need A Starter Box Before The Motor To Stop Them Blowing Fuses , I'm Not A Electrical Engineer, So That's Why I Was Wondering How You Did Your's 🤔 I'm Really Enjoying Your Videos, Keep Them Coming 👏👍

@@craiggreenhalgh1082 I phoned machine mart (in the uk) because I was not sure how to wire it and they sent me a diagram.It just has a 13amp plug on the end of the wire,not even a switch!What would you like to see in my next video? Thanks for your comments.

@@corsagafa Any Latest Updates & Tips You've Learnt Since Your Previous Videos, 👍 Also Have You Had Any Trouble Selling The Granulator Copper To Scrap Yards & What Grade It Goes As , Someone Said That Some Yards Don't Take It🤔

Hello,have a look at my channel to see more videos on how I separate the copper kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYPQimaogM6fjpo ,thanks for your comment.

Hello,I use water seperation and I have plenty more videos on my channel explaining every thing,thanks for your comment.

Hello,it has a vibrating table bought from ebay.

Hello Ken,yes it could be an alternative to a water system but I think it needs more development,at the moment the water system has a better yield.I like my fan to be separate from the vibration and movement.The next thing I want to try is,instead of using the noisy vibrating table,run the screen backwards and forwards on rollers powered by a recip saw and I think that would make it quieter.Have you got any suggestions for what you would like to see in future videos? Thanks for your comment.

@@corsagafa i was wondering if the screens were interchangable for finer seperation. your page is awesome and i have more too delve into

@@kentieber7309 Yes its quite easy to change the screen,not so easy to get different sizes.

My garage is full of other projects at the moment and no room for copper just yet,but Iam still here.Have you got any ideas for future videos,what do you want to see?

Hi Derek,thankyou for your kind comment all the way from Canada!

Hello Kurt, I use a 2.5mm screen in the Granulator so we can say that the granules are from 0.2 mm to 2.5mm. This vibrating screen has now got a hole size of 1.5mm so any granules above 1.5mm will go back through my system. Also this vibrating screen has air blown up through the screen so imagine you have two granules the same size,one is plastic and one is copper. The copper granule will be heavier, the air blowing up through the holes will be strong enough to stop the plastic falling through the holes but the copper granule will be heavy enough to fall through the holes, also even if the plastic granule is bigger, it will have more surface area so it will be affected more by the air just like the wing on an airplane.Hope this helps and thanks for your question.

@@corsagafa thank you very much for your answer. Makes prefect sense.

Hello Todd,most of the copper I do is from cars which is thin wire,so maybe my setup will not work as well on different sizes of wire?But my granulator screen size is 2.5mm and my vibrating screen size is 1.5mm.My advice is to watch as many videos as you can and keep asking questions to get as much info as you can.One thing is for sure! on my system is that all the different parts are like a team,all the members of the team play and work together and if they all work together,you will get a good result.You cant just expect one part of your team to play on there own and win.My team starts with the Granulator,water sluice,water filter,drying the copper and then the vibrating screen.hope this helps and your welcome to ask as many questions as you want.

@@corsagafa thank you so much for the info and that's going help me alot thank you. I do injoy your videos is awesome and it helps me.

Hello,Its not something I have tried but if they are both the same size the copper will be heavier so you could have a screen like this one I have that blows air up through the holes that is strong enough to stop the alluminium from falling through the holes but not strong enough to stop the copper from falling through the holes.The other way I have seen is with a fast moving conveyor belt and when the granules shoot of the end the heavier metal will "fly" further than the lighter metal.Thanks for your comment.

@@corsagafa great. Have you seen any video or something to do that? I mean seperation of aluminum and copper

@@mojtababerelian Yes I have seen the videos here on youtube.I find it good to try different spellings in the search,so as not to miss any videos, such as copper and aluminum separation.

Hello Todd,I dont see why not, although l would say you would need to try different things to set it up, such as speed and volume of water and the size of your granulator screen.Thanks for your comment.

Thank you

Hello Ivan,I use a 2.5mm screen in my granulator and then I put the granules through my vibrating screen which has a 1.5mm screen.which is the exact same setup as part 1 and part 2 of my Burnt Plugs video

@@corsagafa Thanks for the answer. I'm waiting for new videos: D

@@MrStunter3 Yes I want to make more videos,have you got any ideas,what do you want to see?

@@corsagafa Hmmm, I am constantly searching the internet for information about the content of copper in various cables, I could not find this information anywhere. Maybe you will like this idea for a new video. Grind it, compare it, share it with everyone.

@@MrStunter3 Yes I have done it with car wire and the content is 72%,but I dont get enough of other types of wire to measure their content.

hello,I bought the Granulator on Ebay and I made the separation system myself,

The steel grade is D2 and I also have a video on the blades kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ28imBsn7x-fLs
