How much metal do you think is in raggertail by volume?


By volume - not so much.
By weight - maybe 35-40%

How is the plastic, which represents about 20% of the weight of
the ragger tail, going to be removed during the pre-melt process?
If it melts it will cling to the fibers and wire and a good portion
of it I think will stay with the original ragger tail material. Are
you claiming the entire ragger tail will enter the reactor? That would
make quite the amount of left overs to be removed periodically.

And last I checked metal was way heavier than plastic.....if they were both melted in a pot let's say.......well....the metal isn't exactly gonna float at the top is it........And let's say you had a conveyor picking up the metal from the bottom and bringing it out......I just can't picture melted plastic 'clinging' to the steel.......not a whole lot of it anyway......cause last I checked plastic didn't have arms to hold on with.....

Bottom Line: Separating metal from plastic isn't going to take rocket science. I'm sure an elegant solution has already been developed......z

Dead wrong. Someone needs to do some homework. Twice as much wire per ton as there is plastic.

Correct....hence the design of the premelt....not to mention ragger isn't all that RKT produces....at any rate ALL of it will be recovered.....and for HUGE profits....just sayin'
