New BALL MILL first run

[@rogermontney7091]

Nice job!👌 You're going to kick yourself in the butt for the next year or so for not building it sooner. That's what I did!!😉 See you in next video!

[@tws6919]

That's awesome. Smart idea using different size chunks of metal instead of steel ball. Closer to desired effect do believe . Much respect to ya keep making videos I keep watching. Have great day everyone

[@josephcormier5974]

Excellent you out did your self I'm going to have to make one with your permission great video my friend five stars thank you for sharing

[@burriedhistory]

Awesome result. You did a great job Dusan.

[@jeffholmes1362]

Excellent job, very clever with the cut of steel parts, decent metal balls are expensive. Thanks for sharing

[@markmitchelloldmanprospect3969]

i like the way you figure stuff out to build something instead of buying stuff good job and thanks for a good video

[@cptrikester2671]

Worked out excellent. Looking forward to seeing the gold recovery.

[@rockman531]

Excellent results, Dusan!! The steel bar stock and nuts & bolts did an awesome job grinding the chips to dust!! Looking forward to the next video. Stay well! Jim

[@ProjectDIYOz]

Fantastic work mate! Works extremely well. Love it!

[@ChrisJohnson-py4gg]

Nice, I use a similar one for grinding black sands from mining. Add water to keep the dust down and its quicker.

[@toomuchdebt5669]

That was so satisfying . I plan to make one using an old stainless steel pressure cooker. The removable lid make it easier to load and unload. You could also use a large magnet to separate the steel balls quickly.

[@lukebowers536]

Outstanding results, i might have to make one of these myself, processing kilo's of cooked chips by hand is tedious work

[@999DusanGoldrecovery]

I agree. Before my motor mill i grind it with hamer, that is a pain mate.

[@davidleriche2489]

Great job man. Necessity is the mother of invention. The material should give a great recovery. Thanks for sharing. I have used a 1/2 bag cement mixer to remove gold from quarts rocks. I put in some steel balls from a ball mill and let it ride. Always a great recovery.

[@Red9GearHead]

Great work. Looks like I need to get to building one.

[@bencapobianco2045]

Love it!! Can’t wait to see your increased yield!! Also I’ve seen other ball mills that don’t use balls they use different lengths and diameters of round rod. Your content is awesome!! Keep safe!!

[@davidcampbell7822]

That works amazing ! Keep living the good life and stay safe.

[@darwinsmonkey5440]

Pretty awesome! There are so many ways you can use that ball mill. Thank you for your hard work to show us your successes.

[@geneplummer6645]

damn , that works great , after ya do a few runs thru it ya might want to check under the agitators inside the mill , looks like a place to trap bond wires

Good work, sir. I’m working on mine right now. Building it a bit different, but I hope to get the same gold results you got.

[@StillFunBrewing]

Very nice friend. I can’t wait to see your gold yield and get your thoughts on if you are improving your yield.

[@toomuchdebt5669]

Yes . Omegageek64 channel said got a substantial increase in yield when he used the mill rather than the blender.

[@StillFunBrewing]

@@toomuchdebt5669 I’ve followed that too. Just interested in another’s results.

also i like ball mill i have a few but they are twice as big is the only prob but am glad that the meltal arm inside work shall do same if ok with u i will put on line at some stage just have to get some film edit to progress .bless i like ur shuff u do

[@bigredbullion3883]

Great video

[@ChannonWW2214]

Excellent video and build D, work out better than probably expected nice low budget innovation makes for better product better mindset than having to go out and buy the $1,000 ball mill I would call it a cylinder Mill because they look more like cylinders haha. Have a great one 🤔👍😎🇺🇲

look good surpiesed the screw work

[@goldandsilverminingintheci8942]

Great job!

[@robertbailey2342]

I made a ball mill from a treadmill motor with rollers back couple years ago and I also use same metal chunks cut same as yours an have had no problems. Good job bud!

[@bobferranti5222]

Dusan, thats a perfect ball mill, I was getting ready to suggest that you put something inside to bounce everything around but you already did that lol. I like that you spaced it our unevenly too. Much better mixing ability! You can probably sift through the powder easily if you flush it with water and gently pan it.

[@johannesthe5th154]

Awsome results 👍

[@xomatthieuxoxorosexo4919]

Way to go! That worked well! Could you please update your gold yield?

[@chrisgoodrich8987]

Can you show us the platinum and other metal recovery for these ics

[@Alex-kp3hr]

You mentioned that before your new ball mill, you used a motor grind unit. You don't seem to have a video about how you make the motor grinder. Maybe those who would prefer not to ash chips could use the grinder technique and not a beverage blender.

[@armoryindustrial7884]

Make sure the finely dispersed powder isn't explosive. I don't know. Ground everything (electrically). Also, normal ball mills use non sparking ceramics, for both the ball material and the liner, steel on steel will spark. Just be safe. Nice results!

[@australianscrape-waste7293]

Hey mate incredible results, incinerating them definitely makes it work faster than putting them in without burning. I like to not burn them because I live in a very populated neighbourhood with annoying neighbours who complain about the smell 😂 Make sure you wear a dust mask as well as your gloves, lots of hard work earning money isn’t worth anything if you get silicosis or another lung disease which causes early death. Safety first buddy.

[@Alex-kp3hr]

Hi, I too live in Australia in a populated neighborhood and prefer not to incinerate. Just takes a little longer. Per above Armory Industrial's comment, I didn't even consider that the very fine powder could explode with steel on steel grinding pieces producing a spark. Could adding a little bit of water keep the dust down?

[@australianscrape-waste7293]

I know wet mills are definitely a thing however I’ve got not nearly enough information to know whether or not it would work for IC chips sorry.

[@jamisontaylor878]

Very cool 😎 I just use an old glass blender lol

[@taunusrunner3767]

verry good grinding...:-) what did you do with the metal-rest? it is copper and maybd some iron and aluminium...and it can have small traces of gold and silver... you melt it down, vor copper-scrap? ore use it for the stock-pot?

[@999DusanGoldrecovery]

This tour i separate copper and add it to copper pile, rest is metal scrap. To much small noblle metal amount to chase!

[@msaric1206]

odlična ideja o komadima željeza i šarafa umjesto kugli,ja planiram napraviti nešto slično ali od stare mešalice za malter,malo ču je modificirati i prilagoditi za mljevenje čipova,ali pokušat ču i ja sa komadima željeza umjesto kugli.dobar video Dušane.

[@Alex-kp3hr]

Many years ago I bought a cement mixer for a backyard project. I have not used the mixer since. Now I am wondering if I can convert the cement mixer to a mill? It still has the motor and gears on it but may be a bit rusty from lack of use.

[@hbjon]

I just thought of a great idea. Put a cup of HNO3 and H2SO4 inside and let tumble a few days and filter. Add urea and SMB to filtrate to drop gold?

[@phillwatts5385]

very cool works very well

[@manusholm3536]

should test if your mill will grinde up ic that are not burnt. may take longer but if it work its one less task in the prosess

[@Alex-kp3hr]

I too was thinking the same thing. Not all of us have the ability to burn chips in small close neighborhoods. Open fire restrictions are in place in many Countries, cities, and small towns. I think Dusan is right that the sharp edges of the steel pipes will eventually break down the un-burnt chips, it just will take longer, maybe even overnight or longer so if you are in no hurry this might be the answer. In a neighborhood where your neighbors are right next door, you may think about putting the whole mill in some kind of sound proof box.

[@jimmyhoneycutt1]

Dusan, you are one smart individual. What a great video. ...... Can you receive a package from the states?

[@999DusanGoldrecovery]

Depense what is in the package mate?!

[@jimmyhoneycutt1]

Couple of cell phones or boards for you to add to your pile. My support for all of the good shit I have learned from you.

[@999DusanGoldrecovery]

Sory mate, that stuf stay on border, they treat it like e_waste.

[@jimmyhoneycutt1]

Oh man..... dang. ok.

[@anijkamp8095]

Can you put water and soap with the chips in the ball mill?

[@fuhk]

It’s not water proof. Plus that wouldn’t make sense to do. Why put water and soap? It’ll also rust the inside. It’s steel.

[@johnross8939]

I wouldn't add any liquid to the container, especially acid. The liquids will attack the steel and iron. Also make a mess to wash the mill out. Besides, acids will require a vent to exhaust their gasses. Recommend you use a metal serving spoon to help scrape the burned ICs out of the burn box.

[@shaneyork300]

Excellent!!! I'm going to make mine just like that. Where would I look for a motor that would rotate slowly like that??

[@999DusanGoldrecovery]

Car parts!

Are you going to use magnet to separate the copper from the chip legs or are the legs copper too? Great video :-)

Do you think this would be able to crush plastic connector ends that contain gold pins? Like phone cable, Ethernet, etc…?

[@jensvolkmann5544]

Hello, what motor do you have use for the mill? The powder is verry nice, wash this with blue bowel slowly and soft.

[@Alex-kp3hr]

To me it looked like a 12v windshield wiper motor from a large car, maybe a truck. Dusan maybe you can get some solar panels and run the mill from that in sunny days and save your car battery.

[@frantiseklaluch6605]

Ahoj Dušane, will you burn the powder once more? looks like a lot of carbon still in the powder. Mill works perfectly. May be to mill chips first and then burn the powder to complete white ash. Cant have ball mill, too noisy, good you have so much land an no neighbors nex to your house.

[@Alex-kp3hr]

Then how about insulating the mill in a sound proof box?

[@frantiseklaluch6605]

@@Alex-kp3hr I was thinking about that too... 😀 But it is A LOT of noise... And my place is smaller than small... 😳

[@Alex-kp3hr]

@@frantiseklaluch6605 Ok, so it seems that you cannot do this at your place. Then go somewhere else where no body is around. Take a battery powered angle grinder attached to a small "sample rock crusher". see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3WmgIqEpN6HZ6M and crush all your chips there. Bring the powder home and do your refining. What do you think?

Hi Dusan, my name is Brian, lm a scrapper, l recover base metals etc from anything l can get, l have plans for gold recovery in the future but for the moment l mostly chase copper, brass and such, l was thinking to build a mill same as yours for smashing small coils etc to recover the copper, l was wondering what you think of using this mill for crushing out the ferrite in the coils l find on boards and such?

[@keithlanken9715]

That tank will wear out a lot quicker with sharp edged weights as opposed to rounded balls. Just to keep in mind.

[@999DusanGoldrecovery]

Yes, but speed is slow so demage is much less then biger speed.

[@douglaspohl1827]

Consider changing rotation up to 30 rpm.. get the grind job done! Try an Adjustable DC Motor Speed PWM Controller. To each their own.

[@johnsamuels8599]

hi there id say not the nuts or scews as they will become round balls

[@mikefuegmann]

Water cuts down on dust and noise.

[@Alex-kp3hr]

True but then how do you sieve out the gold bonding wires from the mud? You are adding another step to the process. You would have to dry the mud back to a powder form for the sieve.

[@mikefuegmann]

@@Alex-kp3hr or you make a sluice and process what you catch in the riffles with acid. making it safier as well. The dust is hazardous. I suppose everyone does things a little differently.

[@colincrane4835]

You need to get a solar panel and run it from that not your car,

[@999DusanGoldrecovery]

I can run from power suply from pc but this time i use this!

[@Alex-kp3hr]

Hi Dusan, Your new ball mill looks great. I was wondering how long would it take to pulverize 1kg non-burnt epoxy ic flat packs and 2 sided chips? If you want something that can do the job in 30 minutes, think about using a DIY hand held angle grinder mill using no welding. I saw one used for pulverizing small quartz rock to a fine powder in 30 seconds. I think quarts has a harder PSI rating than epoxy which means that epoxy chips would be easier to pulverize than quartz using the angle grinder mill. I saw it at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3WmgIqEpN6HZ6M. Cheers from Australia.
