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.

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

[@ricketron]

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!

[@marshallbraun4605]

[@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!

One funny thing is all the transfers, not even counting the cans' unknown life before the video. Ride in the motorized transport. Go into another plastic container. Take a trip through Nightmare on Shred Street. Land in another container. Get poured into another barrel container. Get poured into another plastic container. And that's not even the best part which is yet to come, lololol ! My, the many things that the eyes of those aluminum pieces must have witnessed and experienced :)

While you are pouring in the shredded aluminum, you should also add ¼cup of LITE salt and stir well. That will drastically reduce the amount of dross and increase the pure aluminum yield.

[@ivans3806]

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.
