Precious Metal Recovery Wet Belt

[rusty]

This winters project, a wet belt to recover high grade values along with the lower grade copper.

Picked up an old treadmill with a 1.5 HP permanent magnet DC motor, control the speed with an SCR then I'll exchange the treadmill belting for a smooth one.

Not shown in the picture is the spray bar positioned midway.

Maybe you can add a few accessories to expand the capability, like electrostatic bar maybe from an old printer, electromagnet to collect ferrous materials, sounds like you are going to have some fun this winter.

Remember that video I posted few years ago? That small plant for recycling copper cables. I will go through old backup files and try to dig it up.

Found it, I just uploaded it to youtube guess it is better than uploading it to some server for download. It is in slovak language, I cant find subtitles I did before. I may subtitle it again in next few days I just need to find some time for it.
