Copper Chopper BDG-8L - Granulate your scrap copper wire

[@hanminlee759]

This is cool. I have seen many similar machines but this one looks advanced.

[@lemagreengreen]

Thanks algorithm. I mean I don't own enough scrap copper wire to ever even consider granulating it but I liked the video a lot.

[@CoalCrackerCummins]

I'd be afraid of getting my hand/arm sucked into that lmao but awesome machine

[@Jbird1978Qqqqqq]

You would be ok. Unless ur copper

[@predatr8822]

It will pull u right in

[@iracingrookie3301]

Wood chippers are worse So many places to snag a glove on a branch and because its pulling, Its hard to get unhooked

[@patprop74]

Pretty darn good! only question I have is the price, We all know the old saying! if you have to ask , you can't afford it!

[@dpmurray9795]

Loader needs a loading belt or your going to lose a limb.

[@alockworkorange7296]

Even shaq isnt tall enough to reach down to where the blades are

[@NorthernScrub]

Loading hopper would be better. Keeps the bulk loading below the choke point fo the machine. Wouldn't take up as much space either. Fill up the box, push a button, and the box tips in to the shredder.

[@FreeOnGoal]

It doesn't look like there is emergency stop within reaching distance either...

[@markc7955]

Yeah a thick wire could easily loop around a hand. And to the person saying you wouldn’t be able to reach the blades. Something has got to give. Either the wire snaps, the motor stalls, the hand is ripped off or the guy is pulled in.

[@c.stromberg8401]

Is there a stop switch near the hopper? If the operator get caught with wire how does one stop it?

[@FreeOnGoal]

It's looks like they skipped over the risk analysis part during the design process

[@merleshand2442]

I like this but what keeps the wire from pulling a guys arm into the machine is there some kind of killswitch or something?

[@KeithOlson]

I'm with everyone else; that feeding mechanism is *INSANELY* dangerous and anyone would have to be a fool to use it. All it would take is a single loop of wire to be on the wrong side of the guy's arm when the wire gets yanked into the blades and *BAM!!!* His arm may not be sucked all of the way into the blades, but a serious injury is absolutely guaranteed.

[@Zappy1210]

Needs a short feed conveyor. Not an engineer, but I can forsee fingers being lost if wrapped in a wad of wire and the jaw grabs ahold of it while putting wire in the bin. Pretty dangerous.

[@glenrichards7175]

Needs a longer infeed tray to protect the workers arm, WHS won't like the hand feeding into the shredder, just a thought

[@videowatcher4006]

How does the machine separate the copper from the plastic coating?

[@paak1124]

WOW.... THAT'S A COOOOOOOOOL MACHINE... IT DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB... IT'S REALLY THE BEST STRIPPER MACHINE I HAVE SEEN SO FAR. GOOD I REALLY LIKE THIS. THANKS...

[@StevenWhite-g6m]

How does it work after a year of service

[@unknown-ql1fk]

You see how "sharply" that wire gets pulled into the hopper? This thing will strip flesh off your bones like a cheese cutter and/or pull you in or rip you into pieces

[@dieselscience]

Make it 'idiot proof' and SOMEBODY will be a better idiot.

[@DS-qy3qv]

Massive potential for an accident there , get it chucked in and don't touch it again. You'll be pulled in as fast as you you could scream. I work with granulators 10x this size, all just as lethal but a wire loop is something else.

[@shadowzedge5793]

Interesting machine. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how the machine is taking the insulation off the copper to be sorted/separated.

[@MrPicklesAndTea]

pretty sure it's gravity based. Just chop it up into tiny pieces, vibrate the whole thing and the copper falls to the bottom with plastic on top. The finer plastic granules may have some copper left in them so it's recommended to recycle them through the machine.

[@tipetu]

Seems a bit risky loading the wire in the machine. What if the machine suddnly yanks it and some wire is curled around your hand? Does it stop?

[@BurritoSenor]

No you'd be fucked cos they seem to put the emergency stop as far away from the danger zone as they can 🤣

[@scottdoran3112]

...it seems like a water bath would seperate the fine copper from the plastic...when it gets smaller, just a thought.

[@donaldtayloe4406]

Way too messy for Indoors

[@waynec369]

The hand feeding of that granulator is a HIGE safety risk. Even a small #10 gauge wire will be enough to snatch a person into it. There's a better, safer way to feed those in a controlled manner. Surprised we aren't seeing video of a law suit.

[@theessexhunter1305]

Do you get a spare arm when it gets dragged in the hopper....? Very unsafe for gods sake

[@troycastor5318]

the fact you stated that means you should never touch any machinery!

[@gsx600racer]

My thought too

[@Tommo020788]

Well it depends where it is... It looks like where he's feeding stuff in is actually a chute where the copper slides down into the blades. Not where the blades are sitting right in front of his hands.

[@theessexhunter1305]

@@Tommo020788 What it looks like is if he gets his arm caught it will rip it off... Having worked on all manor of plant, commercial diving, heavy engendering etc If it looks dangerous then it usually is!!!!!!

I've operated this machine already,its a "beast"!my only problem is that theres too many plastic coming out together with copper in front of the first outfeed,what should be the best setting for the fan speed and the shaker?

[@keruimachineryfactory5557]

there are only two reasons for that problem:1. the machining precision is bad 2.the screen of the air separator is blocked Mostly properly the 1st reason if the copper is not coming in the middle

[@williamdawson3353]

Why don't you put an external AMP meter in the operator view where he normally stands instead of relying on his hearing?

If the operator needs hearing protection, but has to 'listen ' for the sweet spot, OSHA will be calling.

How many tons to make it pay for itself?

[@TheShowgunofHarlem]

Purchase price per pound today 11/24/21 for romex wire is $1.25/lb. Romex is 60% copper by weight. The end product of #1 copper dust is being purchased at $3.25/lb today. Take 100lbs of purchased wire @ $1.25/lb = $125 purchase price. After granulation/recovery 60% copper = 60/lbs @ $3.25/lb = $195 Thats a $70 profit per 100 lbs (or $0.70 cents per pound profit) This particular unit comes in at $36,000 USD That would be 51,428 lbs for this to pay for itself, or 25 US tons.

Instantly chops your #1 copper-wire down into lower valued #2 copper-dust.

[@Tommo020788]

I think the idea is that u could use this to make pure clean copper. Its much easier to melt when it is granulated. You can put the powder into a mold and melt it directly inside the mold. Another thing this might be good for, is to take wire which has insulation on it still, granulate it, then a magnet used to separate it. All that said, the machine is probably really really expensive and it doesn't look useful to a scrapper. It's more useful to someone who is into taking it a step further and recycling the metal themselves, which could make u a lot more than scrap value.
