Large Scrapping Furnace for aluminium melting, waste oil fueled
Vložit

- Large capacity easy build Furnace powered by waste oil for seperating aluminium for scrap metal selling and recycling. See my other burner vids and tutorials here: / glumpy10 Made from a 205L drum and using a waste oil burner featured in my other channel videos, this furnace can take small engines, gearboxes and other large pieces of metal containing scrap aluminium which can be easily melted and seperated.
The burner is the waste oil type and provides more than enough power to melt the largest and heaviest pieces. It's output is well inexcess of 300Kw and it used Waste vegetable oil or engine oil or any other combustable liqud.
The furnace would be perfect for melting aluminium Soda cans in bulk as well as lawn mower engines and chassis. The large capacity of the drum means multiple pieces of raw scrap can be melted before the remains need to be cleaned out.
The furnace is also capeable of melting copper so the aluminium from things like starter motors would be melted off then the waste oil burner turned up if needed to melt and seperate the copper as well. If the drum was insulated with some refractory or kiln wash, the effeciency of the unit would be much higher.
The furnace is demonstrated in it's simplest lowest cost form as a proof of concept that would well exceede the needs of most home users.
Look what you started, everyone is making your system! Thanks, I am making one too. Keep on melting everything!
despite the age of this video... this is still a great video to watch. I'm looking to start melting aluminum with waste oil as it will be more economic than propane.
I have some more ally to melt and intending on doing another Vid like this soon. I have made some improvements with the output of the burner so will be able to get the job done Much Faster.
Your videos are very good, it hurts that you haven't published one for a long time, hug from Argentina
You are mad as a box of frogs mate. Love it
I resemble that remark! :0)
Haha
Keep it up Mr, I love your approach.
Mmmm The smell of zinc paint in the morning... So good for my cancer. Yum!
I could watch this melting engines all day long!!!
Crazy Aussy fire bug !!
You are great mate! Love you !
These are great videos!
The aluminum just turned to liquid
As soon as you pushed it into the flames!!!
Effectiveness over efficiency
I like it :)
Nice aluminium melting video!
Very amazing to see the burner is mounted tangential thereby creating or diverting the flame direction in circumferential path exposing the substance being melted to wide heat area.If you allow I will apply your principle in my kiln design.I hope I will be successful on this idea.More power dear.
Wow, I could only imagine what this would melt if you had it vertical, insulated, a breather lid on top and a good crucible! Maybe even some iron or at least brass. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
I'm sure you could melt brass/copper or anything else with that- good for forging for sure - great vid!
Imagine... granny needs her pot... she'll soon quench the flames!! 🤣🤣
I think that is so neat
Very interesting!! I will be really interested to see this furnace try to melt an engine! Nice job designing the furnace!! I think you are on to something as far as ally and steel separation.
Excellent video! Certainly a good unit for melting down scrap alloy and getting rid of old engine oil as well. I would have fun at your place melting down scrap car parts and turning them into blocks of alloy.
Not as much Fun as I'd have at your place with all your old engines and electronic gear!!
From what I have seen of your place, it should be called "Paradise!" :0)
You are the master....
THIS ONE WITH A LINER WOULD BE KILLER FORGE, SEEIN AS HOW IT MAKES A GOOD BLAST FURNACE
👍🏻 your the man
bad ass love your videos
This guy sure has a lot of Subaru intake manifolds, lol.
i built this set up with a few refinements and it will melt any motor i can fit in it , a door and a vent are the way to contain the heat and tilting the barrel about 5 degrees allows the molten metal to flow but keeps the iron and slag from moving around
Nice
Design I going to try instead of pot type
Great stuff! It will make short work of transaxles, too!
yeah, there seems to be a lot of stuff that is aluminium with steel embedded that would be hard to seperate by hand. That's what the thought behind this was. After the ally and steel are seperated the ally could be either sold at the right price or refined further if need be. Where I am, aluminium motors are only worth steel value, about $10. If the ally was melted from them, I calculate it would be worth $50-70. If you could run say 4-5 in a batch, I think they would be well worth melting seeing it would only cost a bit of free time. I'm wondering about gearboxes as well. I think there would be a lot of steel in the gears but I'm curious how thick the ally casings are.
Gotta be worth a try!
Remember that the dross you scraped off the last of the aluminum was aluminum oxide. It makes a good polishing powder.
Something I never knew!
Thanks for the tip!
You're welcome.
fantastico
LOVE IT !!! Here in america everything seems disposable . I can and will build this
Please let me know when you have a vid of it up!
It's not just America! Every first world country is the subject of corporate greed that encourages low quality disposable products. I have gone out looking for products I use a lot and get sick of breaking down but there is just no Hi quality versions made. Just the same old cheap Chinese crap that is over packaged and priced.
Let me know if you put a Vid up. Love to see other people build these things and put them to use!
Actually america is the last country man. Over here 90% of the population throws everything away when it gets broken without attempting to fix it.

I don't think it's much different in any first world country because we are conditioned and forced into it. I just bought 4 New inkjet printers. Cost of printer delivered, $89 ea. Cost of set of replacement Carts $124.
How does that work? Luckily I refill the carts with bulk ink so save a fortune but it's much the same with anything.
Cheaper to throw away than repair so that's what happens.
Same as My 18 month old TV. Guy came out and said it's not a big thing but we'll just give you a voucher to go get another one. I said I like this one, just fix it . They wouldn't and just gave me the voucher to the value of the set to get another. I can't fix it myself and no one else would even look at it so it got thrown out.
Then all these people come bitching on my vids about the environment and recycling because I burn and make a bit of smoke from some oil.
Idiots!
I know just what you mean, I bought a new A3 printer / scanner & copier for about $240 but nearly had to get a mortgage for the consumables. I reckon they saw me coming.
Cool project! I wonder if a peristaltic pump from something like an old commercial dish/glass washer would be a good fuel pump, as they have adjustable speed, you can get a good precise fuel dose :)
Use the barrel as a form to coat the barrel with crushed fire brick and clay
super , j'ai moi meme un bruleur de 2 po , dans ma fonderie avec un turbo , c'est epouvantable le bruit que ca fait
Hi I got my burner working eventually but I have not tried it in my barrel as yet I will be making a frame up for the barrel
And put some common brick in to hold the heat, I am still learning to post a video and try and put one on CZcams.
We all need to learn and the best way with this is to get your hands dirty and do it which is great that you are. Don't be afraid to test things, don't be afraid to let it go out or take off. That's how you learn. Let me know when you have a Vid up!
you sir are a mad man and that's what makes you awesome let's see what kind of damage you can do to a solid still beam or something the size of that burner it should do some damage
I'll keep an eye out for one. I was kind of thinking of using this setup for a sort of " Will it melt? " series of Videos.
Oil Burner that sir is an awesome idea
Where are ur vids dude we miss them
put the piss pot in the freezer and then pour hot water on it. It may expand the pot enough to release the aluminum
Need to find out how to build an oil burner.
you
cand reduce the energy bill by using regenerative braking like sistems
at the heat lost in furnace ...there is a lot of heat lost ready to be
use
How fast can it melt a full barrel of aluminum cans and how much would the aluminum weigh after being melted im going to build one just looking for a few old propane tanks and to get a tractor to clear out for the building im going to use to store the burners and scrap in i rent a place and im not allowed to store scrap in the yard unless its in a building out of sight great channel by the way iv been watching for a little over a year now and whats the biggest item youve ever melted in it if you melt any things off camera
Can you give me a link or video how to make the big burner please.
Ese es un quemador poderoso
What size bounce house blower do you use ?Ive built my burner but dont know how much air i need.
Como se fabrica ese quemador?
interesting
I like to know how you made your burner
How to asemble like that oil burner
British broadcasting of aluminium melting
What temperature do you think you could reach?
Oh man this is fantastic. I love melting down aluminum, did it alot when I was a kid with my toy cars.
Just wondering can burning sump oil generate enough heat to melt cast iron?
Anyway great upload.
I['m getting to enjoy melting ally myself!
You can see on my Furnace Vid where I melted steel. Guys on the metal casting forums do cast iron with oil burners all the time and non of them have anywhere near the power these things Kick out. I do think you need some sort of proper insulated furnace to allow it to be pourable rather than just melt and slump. After what I did in a few minutes in my pretend brick furnace, I think there would be very little you couldn't melt in an oil powered furnace!
Oil Burner awesome thanks.
Stuart Ross I melted/burnt a hole in (home made) 1/4" stainless crucible with mine on waste oil. stainless melts at about 1365 c, cast melts at 1260 c. Waste oil is the best and cheapest fuel. shhhh dont tell the tax man....
MON383 nice.
Would you please share some photos of the burner itself ? what kind of timer and fuel pump are you using. . ? i really want to build one for my big garage wood stove. its cold up here in northwest wisconsin and getting colder. . . .
Have a look on my chanel for the 2 burner construction Vids and a vid on the fuel pump and controller.
fella cant ya show us some baked potatoes ? its flamin freezin here in the uk ! how quick would a marshmallow be done ? or the turkey ???
Funny you say that..... I was thinking about doing a chicken on a rotissirie and how fast and how thick I could get the charcoal on it. :0)
You need to build one of these things! You and all the people in your town would be warm as summer!
please detail the oil furnace
Can you do a time lapse of the melting engine
That's a great idea! I can set my camera up to be controlled by the Laptop to do that so I'll try to remember at the time.
You can do the same with a cheap möbius camera mounted on a tripod, you'll only need around 1 frame per second.
Would have been nice to see you ignite it?
Do you have a techncal plan of your oil burner. Thanks
Bruno Michel No but you can check out my construction tutorial vids on my channel.
👍
how many liters of waste oil is consumed in one hour
Thank you for the information
mifta zm IN THIS ONE I THINK HE SAID TWO.
But it’s variable!! If he turns it up it uses more!!
If he turns it down it uses less
I know very little about nothing but I sure enjoyed this video and think some coolant spray (water) would really allow for some amazing things with pure O2.
*Note: Eight hundred and thirty seven trillion fossils made the oil to melt three kilo's of aluminium... We are so fucked when it runs out. 8 billion years to make, 250 years to burn. Cool video though, very resourceful.
The Earth is only 4.5 billion years old ...
You need to stop using anything from oil immediately, think of the children.
How about we use the oil from your butt acne?@@laserfalcon
Do you think it might burn hotter if you were to put a door with a spout on the front?
IAN 4000 If you mean a door and a chimney, yeah, for sure! Not so much burn hotter as retain the heat already generated better.
The reason I leave it open is for filming. Much more interesting to see the metal melting than just look at a glowing drum. I have more than enough power to melt the metal anyway and if you look at some of my more recent vids you can see I fire the burner straight in so it is pushing the heat to the back and it has to come forward again to escape increasing the over all heat retention in the drum.
Of course to do this properly I should get some refractory and line the drum.
IAN 4000 How about some friggen oxygen?!!! That thing would melt anything, just as long as you showered it with water... Just sayin'
what air source are you using, regular compressor?
jumping castle blower
few small touches and this thing could burn over 3000 degrees ... and its still a fuckin beast like it is !!
you had to be in the 1900 + Fahrenheit range to melt that much of that compressor.
snorksonforks Not sure what it is in Fahrenheit but it melts copper OK. I'll get round to a proper insulated furnace one day.
it looks like its doin just fine really .. and copper melts out at 1,085°C (1984°F)
and the steel drum melts @ 1370°C (2750°F)
So there is no question this furnace isnt kickin ass Oil Burner
What size is that burner? And could you use it vertical.
The burner is about 60 Cm tall by about 20 Cm across. It was designed to be fired vertical and that's how I normally use it. This was the first time I used it horizontally. As you can see worked fine even in the orientation it was not designed for.
Oil Burner does it work better on its side?
CryB4Die I think it does slightly . there is more surface area to vaporise the oil. It makes it a little easier to start and very responsive as the oil doesn't seem to be able to pool like it does vertically. That means it burns whatever you feed it instantly and it runs very hot but it also makes it a bit more touchy to get your fuelling right for a given airflow.
Grannies going to dish out some slaps when she sees her piss pot.............
What's that plate in the back of the drum?
If you mean the one the AC is sitting on, it was just to protect the drum from the heat and Molten aluminium.
I may have also put the lid I cout out of the drum on the bottom/ back for the same reason. The backsides seem to burn out of these drums faster than the sides for some reason.
@@glumpy10 Try a mix of type s mortar mixed 50/50 with pearlite. I use it in my homemade forge and it keeps it from burning out so fast. You can look up homemade refractory mixes on youtube to line your barrel and give it a bit of slant to make the metal run out the front better.
Why have the smaller propane bottle? Why not inject the oil and air directly into the drum? If the combustion happens in the furnace you won't have a hot burner nozzle and probably more efficiency.
That is to preheat the oil to easily burn
Yes, same as making a coiled line around the burner.
You shouldnt have scratched the " Way " the molten aluminium Did in the drum . It would have been useful in the next batch to permit the next molten aluminium go without obstacles Straight tiu the granny' s pot...
I like much! Very cool (bobs ur uncle)watch ur digits!🤦😂😂🙈
That's a ripper can it melt wine bottles?
Good question!
Never tried but when I fire it up again I'll get some and try. Where there is a will there is a way!!
@@glumpy10 I'll keep a watchin
Cheers M8
very intrested in making something like this what type of oil are you using mate.
+Tom Finch I use mainly Veg oil but these burners burn any oil equally well.
Pigs dont sweat. The more you know! Lol
They would sweat if they stood where I do making these Vids in the middle of my summer! :0)
Lol, agreed, if they could, but they are physically unable. Cheers mate, just haveing some fun.
All good!!
What type of waste oil do you use?
I prefer Veg but used engine oil works exactly the same as does transmission, gear oil etc. Burner is dumb, it does not know the difference so it burns them all the same. :0)
Thank you
Do you have any videos or plans are on how to build an oil burner? Or is there a reliable source to buy one from?
@@imprimisxo I have a number of vids on how to build these things. have a look through he other vids on my channel.
Got it thanks
But can melt ice?
Might be an interesting vid to see!
Fill it with pots of ice.
Man, what an inferno...
so cool but so illegal here
Уничтожил свежий субаровский впускной коллектор :( негодяй
I have a pile of them literally. Come get all you want. They are only scrap to me.
Oil Burner Where do you live? Need to know what will cost delivery to Russia :) We like parts are decent money, especially for Japanese cars. The video you have refined collector that looks brand new. At this time, we have each other resell parts looking awful.
Try to find out at the expense of delivery, if there is at least some benefit, it'll let you know :) The benefit to you and to me. And also help Subaru drivers in Russia :)
I'm also the owner of the Subaru.
I hope I was able to write a more or less clear for English =))
Need to find out how to build an oil burner.
Look on my channel. Several how to Vids.
since my comment,I've seen them. Thank you so much for your help! Enjoy your videos.
