Recycling Coax Cable & Copper Wire

Join Jason as he demonstrates his scrap metal processing line in recycling coax cable and copper wire! In this eye-opening video, we delve into the intricate process of separating valuable materials from shredded coax cable, including copper, steel wire, and plastic.

Watch as our equipment efficiently crushes and processes the shredded coax cable, separating the copper-coated steel wire from other valuable non-magnetic components such as silver and tin-coated copper wire. Witness the precision and effectiveness of our separation techniques as we extract and recover valuable materials for recycling.

Recycling coax cable and copper wire is essential for reducing waste and conserving valuable resources. Our innovative recycling solutions are at the forefront of this effort, providing efficient and sustainable methods for recovering valuable materials from scrap metal and other electronic waste streams.

most likely aluminum! or tin/copper. very interesting videos the last few days. love seein the scrap runs as well as ore

[patchvonbraun]

The military version of RG-214 coax cable was double-shielded with silver (Ag) plating on both the shield and the centre conductor. I had access to about 500m of the stuff at one point, but that came and went. Modern RG6 cables (RG6 and RG6-Q) are indeed copper-over-steel for the center conductor, and typically aluminum for the shield braid and foil.

Hi J, the shielding on coax cable is tin-plated copper. As you said the core is copper-clad steel. I was in the scrap business for 40 years and I know coax is not worth the processing, better to sell it to China as is. I wish I had known of you when I in the business. Good luck

The coax cable we used at my last job to run cable runs to GPS antenna used a aluminum foil wrap around the plastic insulation, and am aluminum braid for grounded shielding.

Hey Jason: Usually the coating is tin plating. Only in connectors would you see silver. Not sure how you can make anything processing that crap. On the job, we just toss any copper clad steel wire and cable. Some of the heavy, low loss coax has silver plating on the copper, but is really expensive and not often used. It isnt often tossed into the scrap bin. Good luck!

I keep waiting for the conclusion video with the ore you and your team mined.

Algorithm enhancing comment deployed. Thanks for the interesting content, Jason. Much appreciated.

[dannmarceau]

Congrats on the growth of your channel, Jason.

Nice proof of concept experiment with coaxial cable! The non magnetic fines are aluminum.

[joeljeffery]

You're a busy man ! Enjoy your videos, thanks.

[valeriehenschel]

Interesting machines. Adapting mining machines to recycling makes mucho sense!

I worked for a contracting company for Charter Communications and threw a 7 yard dumpster of RG-6 and RG-11 cables, fittings, and splitters away every single week for 7 years. I always wondered there had to of been a way to recycle the metals from the cabels but thought that the sticky inside insulation wouldakr it to hard.

I work in the scrap industry for last 20 years and to properly separate there are a few methods, i have worked around ones that use air and screen's to seperate the plastics and paper with reverse polarity mag drums(commonly used in non ferrous separation) which if set right with gates and how much current you toss at them will throw alumnium product off and different size screens for separation also. Theres quite a bit of tech that requires large investment if your wanting to get into this industry, this is also not including knife mills/choppers also. But in the seperation there are many ways to skin a cat here, I'm sure you could use a drum and float off the plastics, down side is if their dense and no air pockets which is common for insulated wire may not float worth a damn with out getting creative

[ElectricPoliville]

It's mylar, aluminum, plastic and copper. Water to remove plastic, adjustable leaf blower to remove mylar, heat to separate aluminum and copper.

[HangryGiant]

Another great video Jason. Do you have a timeframe when we can expect a video on the gold ore you processed? Been eagerly waiting to hear the results!

[kanedytham]

i so wish i could come and work for you and learn so much. i also wish i could afford one of your gold rock bags (paydirts bags) for my 9 year old son i was going to buy a couple back in January for his birthday but bills needed to come first he also loves watching your videos especially the series on your own mine and keeps asking me if your have opened it back up yet after the winter

[guillermodelnoche]

Excellent video! Have you seen Robert Murray Smith’s video on using milk whey to extract gold from a slurry? Fascinating stuff. A non toxic solution using farm waste from making milk. I’m curious if it could be applied to your process in some way?

[josephcormier]

Most modern rj6 is aluminum and copper coated steel but it's nice to see your machine can handle it

[FjHenderson]

The good coax is made with silver coated copper wire as thin as a baby hair. It's mostly used for high power and military. The coax all so uses teflon to insulate the center wire and you have to get it real hot to get rid of. And yes that silver looking stuff is valuable to.

No matter what, they will need to be putting the metals in solution to clean that mess up. Getting the majority clean is fine and 100% doesn’t really matter with coated steel. I also agree with the others that it seems to be aluminum. Sample in the mini kiln and set the temp. Tin will melt well before the aluminum.
