How is copper recycled by wire granulator step by step?

Copper can be recycled from waste cable wires by using wire granulator. If you want to know how is copper recycled by wire granulator step by step, let's find out together.

First, you need a basic understanding of wire granulator. Wire granulator is also called waste wire and cable recovery equipment, which is mainly used to process all kinds of waste wires and cables. It adopts dry physical separation method to recycle copper and plastic from waste cable wires through shredding, crushing and separating.

Working process of wire granulator

1. Shredding: firstly, you need to put the waste cable wires into shredder, which will shred the waste cable wires into small parts about 5cm.

2. Crushing: then using a crusher to crush these parts into small mixed copper and plastic pelletes.

3. Separating: Last, using air separator and electrostatic separator to separate copper from plastic according to different gravity and conductivity.

Besides, Henan Doing's wire granulator is equipped with pulse dust removal system, which is designed for collecting the dust generated during processing, as well as protecting the environment from polluting.

Wire granulator

General speaking, the working process of wire granulator is finished by now. But there are many different types of waste cable wires in the waste recycling market. As for different cable wires, we have different working process to recycle copper. For example, if the cable wires are with plugs, it is need to add a line-vibrating screen to sieve copper from brass. Or, if your collected cable wires are thick, whose diameter is over 3 mm, there is no need to use electrostatic separation. Just through crushing and air separator, copper will be separated from plastic with 99% separation rate.
