Melting Full Dumper of Scrap Copper to Pure Solid Ingots! Trash to Treasure 54kg of PURE COPPER!

[@RwingDsquad]

As of right now 54kg of copper is worth $474 USD

[@dodovomitory3496]

awesome

[@Fotografie_Pascal]

In Belgium 54Kg copper = 286.20 € or 336.57 USD 😉

[@RwingDsquad]

@@Fotografie_Pascal Blame google.

[@Fotografie_Pascal]

@@RwingDsquad I've got it from Google, copper price Belgium ( € 5,30 per kg ), and € to USD conversion. 🤷‍♂️

[@DoraTheMFDestroya]

@@Fotografie_Pascal your conversion was right, you just put a comma where a period should be. Instead of $300,00 you should put $300.00 But that's the only issue :3

For example if one man poops the other man can make a toxic bomb and throw the bomb on the one man's face. 😤 I agree with your quote.

Not sure where you're from but here in the US most of them won't even buy them...... 22 year Master Plumber here I tried it before with all the copper that I get no one would even touch it I ended up having to put it on ebay..... and then eBay want some monster cut so you lose so much money not worth it

[@zube6996]

I find watching your shredder very relaxing. How long did it take you to collect all the copper?

[@Abell_lledA]

One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates🔻

[@onefixitman]

I want to know what you do with the copper after you have melted into bricks? Do scrap yards take the bricks or do you sell to people doing copper casting?

[@vikasrajput481]

You are really hardworking man, salute ❤️

[@manuel_13]

Can you use the thermal camera to see how the water is heating up when put the ingot into it

[@robwilsn3219]

Good job Ben! Also, that little backhoe/dumper is really cool...

[@DoraTheMFDestroya]

Never forget to use an oil or similar viscose (non reactive) coating to prevent oxidation of the coppers surface! This will make sure the copper can be sold for full price as clean ingots are more valuable.

[@Frosty708]

...nobody cares if copper is clean lol. The scrap yard isn't very picky about copper and other scrap metal being clean and Shiney lol.

How does that shredder do on #1 wire? I ask because I don't like feeding wire into the crucible. Folded, tied or whatever it's hard on the hands.

[@charlesdaurio7401]

Hi can you polish an ingot to make it shiny and beautiful in a future video?

[@snowdog7700]

I am curious how long it took from first melt to final weigh. Also how much slag was taken off.

[@christopherulibarri6260]

Nice how much is that set up is and how much money do you make a monthly? For melting

[@vicferrari9380]

Why do we quench our ingots? I tried to machine a quenched ingot and the grains were huge and it basically fell apart! Is it just for show? Slow cooling should leave a more usable copper. Any one have thoughts on this?

[@LFKGooner]

I enjoyed this. Salvaging. What's the name of the first song?

[@robertbonsai7176]

How long does it take per batch. Then how much energy as in propane ect.

[@robertbonsai7176]

Another question, i Do yiu get money per pound when it’s in a ingot.

I recently found an old aluminium window frame, melted it down in my 18 inch cast iron pan(I’m not sure entirely what it actually is I just found it at a charity shop) over a bonfire and it is just as satisfying as this

[@glassgaming6429]

Can someone tell my what metal melter that is I wanna buy one

[@MikeSmith-vb8ul]

Isn't some amount of copper lost to CuO / Cu(OH)2 from directly cooling it in protic solvents like water?

[@vicferrari9380]

Can you please elaborate on this. Not a chemist here just interested.

[@amargwari2431]

​​@@vicferrari9380 Hot copper gets oxidized in water and is thus "lost" (Kind of like iron, though copper is MUCH less reactive than iron, therefore you only ever see the green oxide layer on copper after long exposures or at high temperatures)

[@scrapman502]

6:11 That heat sink you're melting there is not copper! It's Aluminum painted with copper paint. See it catch fire just as you put it in?

[@wed882]

[@jigspatel1284]

Please tell me the size dimension of ingots & how much weight of 1 ingots?

[@prisonersforprofit]

about 120 lbs. curious, other than saving space does melting your copper add value?

[@moondog4313]

Just curious but why didn't you shred the copper you was melting? Wouldn't it been some what easier to melt

[@mamupelu565]

Wanted to see what happens if you put a little ascorbic acid in the water that the copper got cooled in, because it has anti-oxidant properties. Look up ascorbic acid + copper sulphate.

[@IngotJoe]

Wow! That is really impressive, the biggest one I ever cast was 10KG. Great video. Thanks.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I have to say that is the biggest one I’ve ever seen even the big stacker doesn’t have one that big I want one now

[@johnsilvey3208]

Cool video ! Does quenching a hot ingot do any harm? Having worked with lots of copper wire and pipe and knowing how it work-hardens if flexed more than a few times, I kind of have this gut feeling that quenching to rapid-cool isn't really a great thing to do. And ... that is an AWESOME shredding machine !

Your ingots cant be pure copper, all that pipe work you put in was full of soldered joints.

[@Frosty708]

Thats what you saw him doing by skimming the surface of the molten copper. The impurities float on the top and you skim it off. To refine it even more pure I've heard you need to add borax or something. I'm an idiot so what do I know.

[@TP-es1pf]

No. That slag is the unburnable stuff, sand,ash, etc. the solder melts at lower temp than the copper so the ingots will be mixed. Not pure
