Scrapping 116 lbs. of Uninterruptable Power Supplies - How Much Copper? ASMR Scrapping & Melting

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my Scrapping for Copper Series. Today we kick off episode 4 with 116 pounds of Uninterruptable Power Supplies. How much copper did we get?
I start off the video with a teardown of one of the Power Supplies. Both units are the same so I didn't want to bore you with scrapping 2 of the same units out on camera. I did the 2nd one off camera. "You can thank me later for that."
Once the copper has been removed, I weigh it up and then melt it down in my furnace. I then pour that sweet liquid copper into my graphite molds and cast 3 ingots from it. After a quick quench and cleanup, I have some nice shiny copper ready to add to my stack of copper. I have well over 200 pounds of copper sitting on the table, all of it rescued from junk.

That was a nice amount of copper! Great pours and nice ingots 🤤.

[@Scrap2Cast]

[@gunnystew7404]

Going big I see!!! Right on man!!! Mmmm copper 🤤

[@Scrap2Cast]

Heck yeah brother! Love me some copper! 🤤. Thanks for watching!

[@JsStack]

Excellent video brother!!! Lots of great copper. Great seeing the beefy copper bars. 👍

[@Scrap2Cast]

[@rickcgag]

Nice. I enjoy watching your videos, from a fellow scrapper.

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother I really appreciate it 🙂🍻

[@swgaguy7710]

Pretty chill video. Love the copper bars you kicked ass

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother for the positive feedback and thanks for watching! 👍🏼👊🏼🙂

[@tommyverducci]

I really liked your file trick with the transformers

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother! It’s the quickest way to determine if the windings are copper or aluminum. If they are aluminum, I wont even bother stripping it down. I just save those up and cash them in. Thanks for watching! 😎👊🏼🍻

[@donl4914]

That's a lot of Copper!!!! Good Video Bro!!! Sounded like your tank was about to run out...lol 🔥🔥😎😎💯💯

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks bro!!! I turned down the juice so I could add that last bit of material without stinking up the joint and burning all my hair off🤣

[@justanothermeltingchannel]

I’m just sayin, when you hit the big jackpot we all meet up in Vegas and lose our money on other slot machines😂😂😂. I love the process brother. That was a daaaaang good melt.

[@Scrap2Cast]

Bahahaha brother not only would I lose my money, I’d lose yours and and future money you had coming to you! 🤣. Thanks so much for your positive feedback brother and thanks for watching! 🙂👊🏼👍🏼

[@charleslanier1992]

This was a good amount to come out of just two items. 🤘😎🤘

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother! I was very surprised how much there was! I lucked out with those 6 transformers and they were pretty easy to take apart! Thanks for watching! 🙂👊🏼👍🏼

[@HeinrichsMade]

[@vcythandle1912]

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks a bunch brother and thanks for watching! 🙂👊🏼👍🏼

[@dukenukem001]

that is a nice haul ... never did a battery backup .. need to start looking for them

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother! The home office ones blow for copper but these were meant for servers 😁

[@timsmith9645]

Awesome copper bar's and that is a lot of copper wire from those thanks for sharing s2c

[@Scrap2Cast]

[@timsmith9645]

You're welcome yea that was a good copper amount

[@PhilipRomeo69]

Good vid that was a nice amount of copper

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother, way more than I was expecting! 🙂🍻👊🏼

[@quantumfoam2843]

I have over 200 pounds of copper, but you're going to have to trade me all your forge stuff.

[@Scrap2Cast]

Nice bro! Sadly I cannot make the trade as my channel would then cease to exist! 🙂👊🏼👍🏼

[@Michael-ex5ho]

That was a lot of copper!

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks bro! Love me some copper 🤤. Thanks for watching! 🙂👊🏼

[@williammcquiston2820]

I enjoyed your video

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks a bunch brother! 🙂👊🏼☮️

[@KrakenCasting]

Whoa! Nice haul!

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother, a fine addition to the copper stack 🤤

[@thelichisdeath]

awesome tear down video! you know - not only for scraping, also the tear down and explaining what you disassemble.... melting part is boring for me, but hey, you are on right tray.... keep it up, and thanks for the clip!

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother! The teardown is one of my favorite parts. The melting isn’t for everyone but it’s necessary for me as I’m a metal stacker and it’s a lot easier to stack bars on the table 😉. Thanks for the positive feedback and thanks for watching! 🙂👊🏼🍻

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Great video

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother! 👊🏼🍻

[@copperkingrecycling634]

Awesome video

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother! A lot of copper out of those units!

[@bonnienklyde7423]

Nice 👍👍

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks brother and thanks for watching 🙂🍻👊🏼

[@pauljcohen2007]

Yeah man, that's what I am talking about. A $hitton of copper right there. We need to find some more UPS for you to break down.

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks bro, the only reason there was so much in them was because they were meant for servers. The home/office ones usually don’t have much in them 🙂🍻👊🏼

[@pauljcohen2007]

@@Scrap2Cast oh I definitely saw the rack mounts.

[@22kiki22]

Wow! What all of that do you take in for cash? So you can get money from all of the steel and batteries too? What do you do with the fans. Can you tell I don’t know a lot? 😁

[@Scrap2Cast]

Oh that’s alright Lisa! The lead acid batteries, the steel and the circuitboards I will end up cashing in as well as those tiny fans. Before I bring the circuitboards in, I micro-scrap them and pull off the aluminum heatsinks, the relays and the tiny transformers. Thanks for the inquiry and thanks for watching! 🙂👊🏼🍻

[@ManMountainMetals]

😊👌

[@Scrap2Cast]

🙂🍻👊🏼

[@charlesinscore4107]

Are you going to melt, your ruined al rim?

[@Scrap2Cast]

I’m still undecided. They are a pain to cut into smaller pieces but I will do a little research to see the best / quickest way to cut it down.

[@NeverEvil1]

44 pounds of lead acid batteries 🤔 Recycle them, or reclaim the lead. Decisions decisions.

[@Scrap2Cast]

Recycle all the way, I don’t mess with them 😉

[@DMNL2]

The electronics butcher !!!! Destroying good working electronics, shame on you !!!

[@Scrap2Cast]

They were junk! Go troll somewhere else, I aint got time for nonsense 🤣
