Dry copper wire recycling machine V.S. Wet copper wire recycling machine

Both dry type and wet type copper wire recycling machine are used to process waste cables and wires to separate copper from plastic. But more people choose dry type copper wire recycling machine to help them start copper wire recycling business. Well, why people don't choose wet copper wire recycling machine? What the differences between dry copper wire recycling machine and wet copper wire recycling machine? Let's have a look.

1. Different separating rate:

Dry copper wire recycling machine adopts double separator(air separator and electrostatic separator) to separate copper from plastic. If the air separator can't separate copper from plastic due to the similar gravity, electrostatic separator can separate copper from plastic according to the different conductivity. The separating rate can reach to 99%.

However, the wet copper wire recycling machine can't separate copper from plastic according to their different conductivity, because the copper is wet. Hence, the separating rate of wet copper wire recycling machine is low.

2. Different copper price

Final products of dry copper wire recycling machine

The copper separated by dry copper wire recycling machine has bright color, which can be sold directly with a pretty price in the metal trading market. However, the copper separated by the wet type is wet, and the color after passing through water is not as good as that of the dry type. The selling price can vary by several hundred per ton.

3. Different cost:

The wet copper wire recycling machine needs a large area to spread the copper out to dry, and requires at least 3-4 workers. The land and labor cost is pretty high. Well, the dry copper wire recycling machine occupies a small land, and has high degree of automation, only needs 1 or 2 workers to operate, the total cost is low.

4. Different environmental influence:

Dry copper wire recycling machine adopts dry type physical separation method, uses no water, no fire, or no chemical solution, which has no pollution to environment. In addition, it is equipped with pulse and cyclone dust collector, which won't emit dust to environment.

However, wet copper wire recycling machine requires the use of water. After using, the water, which has copper ions inside, will be discharge, and will pollute the water and soil.
