There is a design with two condensers and a rotary macerator. Macerating copper ignots with tin ones (1 consumed every 4 copper ignots) yelds 2 bronze dust. Then you change some of it to copper, and some of it to tin.

Math time!

Fully-powered (7500 RPM) rotary macerator is operating at speed 16 ticks per operation.

20 ticks is about one second.

2040EMC (gain) - 596EMC (loss) = 1444EMC per 4 copper and 1 tin ignot. 1444EMC x64=92416 EMC -Times 64, beacouse you can insert 64 tin ignots in the machine (bronze is converted to copper) 92416 EMC/192 sec (256 operations* 16 ticks per operation / 20 ticks) = 481 and 1/3 EMC  per second.

That's more than 12 fully powered Mk3 collectors! If you can automate that (by finding a way to insert tin into the second slot, thus making it fully automatic), you'll be my hero.
