SHREDDING & MELTING 1615 Aluminium CANS!

In this video i'm shredding and melting 1615 empty soda cans to see how much aluminum you can get from them.
This is only an experiment.
I do not recommend this to do yourself because the cost of melting the cans would outweigh the profit.

[@historyhunter5215]

Say the price of cans is .75 per lb, bulk aluminum 1.75 per lb, you do this and it's in its purest form that price goes to 4-5.00 per lb....

[@IwanRheon1]

-Hey. what do you do for a living? -Well, its complicated...

[@marshallbraun4605]

Well, you see... I transfer shredded cans from bin to barrel to bin and repeat

[@bhaktibhandari7379]

And then I melt them and pour the molten aluminium to form ingots... I repeat this process with all the crushed aluminium... Then , as you know that there is some slag left in every batch.. so I collect all the slag and try my luck on that, hoping I get some aluminium out of that too.. I turn them to ingots too!

[@YvdorianThe1st]

And I film all that so thousand of people from all over the world can watch that, with my gooses in background

[@cornygod5008]

So -step 1: Have a party -step 2: get all the used cans -step 3: Shred them -step 4: Melt and make them aluminium ingot -step 5: Repeat

At first I kind of wondered why you'd run the bits through the shredder that many times... But then I thought about how if you have a tactical light assault vehicle-mounted shredding machine, why *wouldn't* you use it as much as you can? :D Loved this one, thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@dupeaccount1647]

I wish I had a shredder as nice as his. I thought I was doing well with double shredding.

[@ZombifiedWatermelon]

The volume reduction between crushed cans and shredded cans is amazing. Makes melting them much more efficient.

Back to the roots of this channel with this video. Memories when you used to melt soda cans.

Note for next time Set up a conveyor, recirculate automatically Put conveyor under shredder and transfer to another that feeds into shredder Keep going till satisfied and then chute off to a bin Once, once only

Nice video, however, for optimal processing it could be optimized in many ways. I think you just enjoyed it, made a video hoping for many clicks. As a layman, I would assume, if you hammered the chips into the crucible, you could've squeezed out more air resulting less AlO2.

Recently in a video a Russian guy used equal parts table salt and baking soda (about 1 table spoon each per kg of aluminum) as flux, to dry up the slug and oxides, so that "foamy" stuff that's being scraped off contains less aluminum, and the ingot doesn't have any bubbles, so is ready for machining right away.

[@luketerry4870]

Can someone explain to me the reason for shredding? Like does it get a higher or more pure yield or something?

[@PressTube]

Filling the crucible with shredded cans will fit like 200 cans at once. When you don’t shred them you can hardly fit 20 of them. It will take an entire day, or even 2 days to melt that amount of cans when you don’t shred them.

[@dupeaccount1647]

@@PressTube Also safer. If you put unshredded cans in there's a chance for a steam explosion.

also if i may randomly inject a question, do you ever make bread or cake with eggs from what i presume are big geese? i bet that could be interesting no?

[@helimonster3]

Grinding them up beforehand is gunna dramatically reduce your overall yeild. Was there a reason you did this instead of putting the crushed cans straight into the crucible?

[@theamphibinator]

When he is removing the slag from the crucible, how can he separate it from the molten aluminum? How does he know what to scoop out?

[@alexisgrunden1556]

Dirt and such often float to the surface of the molten metal; it might be in a liquid state, but it's still metal and pretty molecularly dense. Pretty much you just skim all the scum off, like making bone broth. I've most often seen a slotted stainless steel spoon used for stirring and slag scooping, since steel has a much higher melting point than aluminum. Never tap the slag out onto anything you wouldn't want scorched; a cinderblock works nicely for that (non-flammable and portable).

Where did you find the shredder you shredded the slag with I would like to buy one for a project in my back yard work shop to get rig of my old riding mower tires.

[@slimeinabox]

Probably should have used some kind of flux to get the impurities out the aluminum. Metal soda cans actually have an internal plastic layer. Plus the decals on the out side.

Nice machine. If you invented it, how about a hydraulic press incorporated into it to press about 20 pound blocks?

[@toryknotts8026]

I'm guessing some of the slag is from the labels and any dried liquid

[@dougalexander7204]

I’m a little old man and can’t remember the numbers. I’m curious. What what was the total weight you started with and what was the total weight of the ingots? Or rather, what was the percentage of loss? I have a 55 gal barrel of tightly crushed cans and want to melt and cast them for an art project. I’m curious about the loss so I know if I have enough metal. I also have a feed sack of copper and brass. Do you know what would happen if I mixed them around 75/25? Will I get a slight copper color? 🙏
