Super Easy! How to recycle copper a broken electric motor

[@MakeGold]

how to remove copper from motor? I was wondering how to remove the copper from an motor. It is wound around the metal in several different places, and has a heavy papers inserted into each hole where the copper is looped/ The only way I have found is to take a screwdriver and pound each hole with a hammer to push the copper out. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Trying to scrap several motors of there copper.

Hi give me your number i want to buy copper armature

[@franktracy6871]

That's too long your losing money taking that long check some of the other guys on utube the use hydraulic knife that cracks the motor shell and the motors insides makes for much easier for scraping the copper

[@xorzful]

Use a cutter cut the metal in two sided opem and take out the copper😏

[@johndowe7003]

Pull the copper wire out with a winch. Heat up the case so that the glue melts and everything comes out easier

1:00-Before you take hammer and key steel to knock off the fan end housing: After removing ALL bolts (including bearing cartridge bolts on fan end), take a 6"x6" (or 8"x8")X 4 foot long solid wood timber and hit the fan end of the shaft with one end of it. The weight/momentum of the timber behind the end will send the rotor and drive end housing flying depending on how much force you applied. May take a few bumps, but it will make the job much easier. With rotor and drive housing removed, you can easily remove the opposite drive end housing.

Lol I did this a few weeks ago out of interest , it was a bigger motor but basically it was 1 1/2 hrs work for 14 quids worth of copper and two busted knuckles !!!. Respect to these guys .

[@georgestyer2153]

Many years ago, in another life, I served my apprenticship in a motor rewind shop. We used a 75 Volt transformer with a current capability of 400 Amp. This was used in a ventilated chamber to "cook" the windings. A current trip was used to switch off after the windings had burmed and an earth fault was established. 30 + motors a day were treated to this inferno and then passed the following day, after cooling and me removing the copper to the insulation shop then on to winding. In them days a 2 HP single phase motor cost 3.50 UKP to rewind..Ah memories !!!

I did this job for 3 years and loved every minute. We would use a sledge hammer and power saw , once broken open power saw one side off and then burn them. The copper would then pull out by hand . It was a lot easier than a chisel.

[@diwanshusharma158]

hello

[@generatorblue]

If I had a hammer! I think that you could use a modified jack to do the pulling. You could also make a longer fork that is welded to a handlebar that you can rotate like an alligator to pull out the wires. That left harm must be getting tired after a while, which puts your right hand at risk of getting hit with the hammer. You did good on the first part of the video up to splitting up and removing the motor housing. Good video!

[@kevinchambers5543]

Once you remove one end of the coils put it in a fire to burn the varnish off that holds it in place, wires will pull right out by hand on the small motors. Worked in a motor repair shop and that's how we did it but with a controlled temp oven so it wouldn't overheat and ruin the core.

[@chick99936]

but that would devalue the copper by burning it

[@kevinchambers5543]

chick99936 It'll be considered dirty copper anyway since it's coated in varnish, at least it is around here.

[@jamesmcfadden8708]

Scrap yards in Florida will not buy burnt copper, for over 10 years now!

[@mikspapa]

EXACTLY! Cleaned electric motors for decades here in Missouri. To say this is the hard way is an understatement. Burning doesn't devalue anything. It's still either #2 or refinery #1, depending on where it's sold, and ANY scrap yard in Missouri would buy this in a heartbeat......

[@__austrianoldboy_9861]

Love to see recycling videos!

[@Joeo-qk2du]

If someone was doing this you should cut the end without the power wires and pull from the end that has the wires. I have found that is usually better🤠

[@ThePoliedrico]

Posso farti una domanda? Mi hanno consegnato uno statore per moto le cui spire non sono uniformemente ricoperte con la resina. Dovendo andare in bagno d' olio, ho chiesto lumi e mi hanno detto che posso appolicare la comune resina che si adopera per riparare carene in plastica e barche.... corro rischi che se non adatta si squaglia all' interno del motore o che non consenta la corretta dispersione temica... o altro? Grazie molte se potrai/vorrai rispondermi!

[@MakeGold]

Sulla base delle informazioni fornite, l'uso di una resina comunemente utilizzata per riparare carene in plastica e barche potrebbe non essere la soluzione migliore per ricoprire le spire dello statore per motori. Ci sono alcuni rischi potenziali da considerare: 1. Resistenza al calore: Le resine per riparazioni generiche potrebbero non essere progettate per resistere alle temperature elevate raggiunte all'interno di un motore in funzione. C'è il rischio che la resina si ammorbidisca o addirittura si sciolga, compromettendo l'isolamento delle spire. 2. Conduttività termica: Le resine specifiche per avvolgimenti di motori sono formulate per avere buone proprietà di conduzione del calore, consentendo una corretta dispersione termica. Una resina non adatta potrebbe portare a un surriscaldamento anomalo. 3. Adesione e integrità meccanica: Alcune resine generiche potrebbero non aderire bene al rame delle spire o contrarsi eccessivamente durante l'indurimento, causando problemi di integrità strutturale. La soluzione migliore sarebbe utilizzare resine specifiche per avvolgimenti di motori elettrici, appositamente progettate per resistere al calore, condurre il calore in modo efficiente e mantenere l'integrità meccanica necessaria. Queste resine sono formulate chimicamente per soddisfare i requisiti dei motori elettrici. Se si utilizza una resina non adatta, si corre il rischio di guasti prematuri del motore a causa dello scioglimento o del degrado della resina, con conseguenti problemi di isolamento, surriscaldamento e danni meccanici. Ti suggerirei di consultare un rivenditore specializzato in materiali per la riparazione di motori elettrici per ottenere il prodotto più adatto per lo scopo. Potrebbe costare di più, ma garantirà prestazioni e sicurezza ottimali per il tuo motore.

They come apart easier if you boil it in acetone( a bit sketchy but i do it). Also cut other side and push each out with a punch. Takes way less time than dealing with that wound up rats nest.

Well I suppose that works if you don't have electricity. Personally I prefer using the Press to push out the copper. I suppose you could adapt a log splitter to do the same thing.

[@Lesnz2009]

Initially, I thought you were living in the USA due to the music but I see this is not the case and it is interesting how the low-tech approach works

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Les Gee What’s the high tech approach?

[@Lesnz2009]

I was impressed with how the person managed to get so much copper out just using manual tools. A Hight Tech approach would be along the lines of an automated process done by a machine or industrial robots to do the work. In developing countries, people have to adapt. Perhaps it is something we in so-called developed countries should seriously think about rather than shipping our rubbish and recyclables offshore.
