This was a fun video to make! I have never seen so much metal on one of our shaker tables. This customer brought up some copper wire in various stages through his copper chopping line and wanted to see if we could recover the copper better than his air table. We found that we could recover very clean copper (as long as it was liberated from the insulation) at every stage of his copper chopping line. The best part was watching the copper we could recover on our wet table that was missed by his air tables. We estimated that we recovered somewhere around 5-10% more copper from his waste!
He also brought a sample of trimmed PC boards and edges from the manufacturing process. These board pieces don't contain any components so they could be crushed and the metal liberated very easily in our PCB grinding line. The boards had plenty of copper that was recovered, but also lots of gold was contained on the boards and edges. The customer was very happy with the results of both of these tests. Please let us know your thoughts on our videos, thanks for watching
