VRS Car Dismantler

[@Brad772006]

Ok I have seen a lot of heavy machinery videos here on KZbin. I got to say. This highly impressed me. The efficiency showed here is just amazing. Who needs a shredder when you have this setup. Even stripping the wiring from the ECM with the side forks. Just wow

[@kevindunlap5525]

There are comparable machines and videos, but this is the single best video, best machinery by far (they actually paid attention when they designed this whole setup), and best operator. I wish this was 80 minutes long, it is incredibly satisfying. RIP cars.

That's so entertaining to watch.

Seriously, that's not intended to sound sarcastic, it's like one of those "most satisfying" videos.

I am quite impress at how skillful he was in taking out and separating different materials.

Pained by the thought of it was your car. Satisfied it happened to a Renualt? xD

[@Nathan-gj8ch]

I like seeing that the fluids have been taken care of. The car recycling center near me ignores EPA regs and hardly ever disposes of the fluids correctly so the ground ends up a toxic oil mess. I have retrieved parts off old cars in their yard before cut in-to AC lines and found them still full of r12

Haweater in 10 years haptic interfaces will become more common so the "extension of operators arm" comes literal.

[@SuperInformatics]

i think with current technology it should be possible for the excavator to detect the movements of your arm and hand and replicate them. maybe you would have to wear a glove and some sensors in your arm, but that would be no problem.

[@marshalllhiepler]

Awe, thats nothing. Why, you should see the operator brush his teeth after his lunch break.

I find it interesting to see all the 'it's not cost effective.' comments. You guys really should think before you spout off. I'm pretty certain that an operation of that size has accounting people that ran the numbers and found that it was cost effective. They are in the business of making money from recycling, and they aren't going to do anything that is counter productive.

[@Argospete]

[@naui_diver9290]

[@TheMitchbassman]

Oh contrare 9yearOldBuzzard... Government payouts account for this being "profitable" for the scrapyard, in the name of saving the enviroment. THis is NOT cost effective on many levels

[@erwinlommer197]

It is cost effective if it is good for the environment. How much is clean air and d rinking water worth to you? Probably nothing because you are such a dumb fuck. If dumb fucks like you were making decisions we would still put lead into fuel and not recycle anything.

In an Elf n Safety world, this is perfect as the operator is completely out of danger in the cab and won't get hurt.

[@MartinRamirez-sk4kl]

Michael Magill I worked at an auto dismantler for many years. We scrapped 25,000+ cars A MONTH. You'd be surprised to see how much work is done just because that's the way things have always been done. There are different prices for each component removed and how much each component weighs. Value changes quickly but habits take longer.

4 cars per hour making an EXTRA profit of around £55 per car by removing the valuable metals and components prior to baling which means this 18 tonne excavator with Powerhand VRS is making £220 per hour for the vehicle recycling company, Not a bad investment if you have the vehicles going through your yard.

He's surgical with that Dismantler! I love that tooth on the side of the claws that let him strip the ecu from the scrap wire.

[@1powercom]

I am by no means an expert but i think i know what they are doing here . This scrap yard takes in scrap end of life cars , They don't have a shredder on site so aim to maximise the revenue form there scrap cars prior to sending the shells to a shredder run by another company this machine helps this as the material removed , alloy radiator , engine , copper cable , catalytic converter rear axles etc are all worth more per ton as grades of scrap than a whole car is if sent direct to a shredder in addition the air bags would need to be removed prior to sending to a shredder also and that was done when he tore the dashboard out . So yes it is slower than a shredder but vehicle treated this way is worth more to the scrap yard so worth taking the time to strip with this machine .

[@jaymanxxxx]

exactly the platinum in the catalytic converter is only 500.$ per car then aluminum radiator engine block. all the copper in the wires. adds up

[@MichaelJohnson-by1tv]

You definitely will get more value added revenue to your bottom line if in particular you are processing materials that are high in mixed steels and copper in a stripped down and cleaned to grade return to recycler condition. I can see this being beneficial for that purpose but to what volume of recycled clean copper or steel is required for cost to justify demand? Still though, is it just me or am I the only one who got ravenously hungry while watching this? 1 more like for the commentary.

[@evankimori]

Anon Ymous Do you know what the types of machines are that they use? I'm curious.

[@realamerican4496]

That operator is amazing!!

[@free_spirit1]

The claw machine is mostly stationary. Makes you wonder if for these applications a plugin variant could be made where the hydraulics are powered by an electromotor powered from the mains, instead of the on-board diesel engine. It would probably substantially reduce the running cost, since the engine is revving all day but the claw machine isn't really going anywhere.
