All,
This is a clearifcation on this matter, first of all, I did not buy this facility, I basically rented this unit from the local government that they set it up and lend to a school grad to work on it and recycle and refine metals from e waste. They couldnt handle it, only produced few grams of copper and tin, state paid for everything, shredder, an electrowinning unit, crane, a CRT recycling unit, and many more, since a year ago the facility had been abandoned due to lack of knowledge, until I showed them my gold silver recovered from CPUs and won the auction, they litterly gave me 18 MT of mixed e waste for free and asked to just run the place, so far I cleaned up the mix wastes, and once I could produce I will be giving an stream of e waste government collects on national scale which is 30 tons a month just computer motherboards alone, along maybe a ton or more of mixed cards, and other electronic junks.
That is why I travled to Singapore to meet up with this consultant who has been with the only recycling and refining company there to give me some guides on how to run things on commercial scales. He suggested to use air chisel and cheap labor locally to basically cherry pick the gold plated and gold items, then process them separately.
I didnt feel like he knows as much as some of the members here, so I even asked the forum for a consultant to provide some support and even be open to some sort of joint venture, where he can help me with processing while I can get my hands on a large volume of e waste.
The only trick about the facility here is I can not just sell the boards to outside, all e waste has to be recycled and refined here locally, the stripped boards, dteel, plastics and etc can be sold outside though.
Here is the picture of plant before and after some clean up,
And this is a week later, it is much cleaner right now, also found another 20 lbs of mixed cards today,
One thing that really gets me going is the fact, the volume of materials we can get, also the price we pay for that volume is very cheap, but the catch is we have to refine in house, so again if any of you pros are interested in this please contact me in PM to go over details.
Regards,
Kevin
