How to separate copper from wire?

As we all know, waste copper wires can be recycled to get copper and plastic. In this way, people can not only reduce resource waste but also get high profit. So more and more people want to separate copper from wire. So, do you know how to separate copper from copper wire? There are many ways to separate copper from wire, in this article, I will introduce three main ways: manual stripping, burning separation and mechanical separation.

The general way is manual stripping.

Manual stripping to separate copper

In this way, people needn't to buy any machine, there is also no input cost. But this method is not suitable for stripping large amount of wires, because it needs labor force. And it also can't strip those wires which contain plugs and iron or are less than 1cm. So the manual stripping method is gradually phased out.

Another way is burning waste copper wire to separate copper from wire.

Burning treatment to separate copper from wire

Through burning, copper can be separated and recycled, but plastic is burned and wasted. In addition, burning will produce air pollution which is not suitable for government environmental policy. So burning is also not recommended.

The third way to separate copper from wire is mechanical separation.

There are two types of machine can be chose. The one is water type machine which can separate copper from wire. However, it will produce waste water which is very difficult to deal with. And the separated copper needs some time to dry. The water type machine is gradually being eliminated. Therefore, the other type copper wire recycling machine came into being, called copper wire granulator machine. The working process of copper wire granulator machine without using fire, water or chemicals, is a total pollution free machine. Through crushing, air separation and electrostatic separation, copper and plastic can be separated and recycled, the separation rate can even reach to 99%. This dry type copper wire granulator machine becomes the best choice for people because it is low investment, high efficiency and pollution free.
