What is the process of processing waste cables into copper and plastic by copper cable wire recycling machine?

As the price of copper has risen, more and more people are paying attention to copper wire recycling business. For some people who are eager to start this business, they should have a brief understanding about how to separate copper and plastic from waste cables. In this article, I will introduce the process of processing waste cables into copper and plastic by copper cable wire recycling machine.

Copper cable wire recycling machine

The process of processing waste cables into copper and plastic is easy to understand. Through shredding, crushing, air separation, copper and plastic can be separated and recycled.

1, Shredding

Waste cables can be shredded to small pieces.

2, Crushing

The small pieces will be crushed into smaller by crusher.

3, Air separation

The crushed pieces will be conveyed through a conveyor belt to the air separator. Air separator can separate pure copper from plastic through the different gravities of them. There is also a vibrating table which is used for separating copper and brass.

This configuration of copper wire recycling machine is used for processing household wires or miscellaneous wires. The separation rate can reach 97-98%. If you want to get higher separation, the machine can be equipped with electrostatic separator. With the use of electrostatic separator, the separation rate can reach to 99.9%.

When processing different kinds of cables and wires, the configuration and process will be a little different. For example, if processing thick cables and wires, or waste cables and wires contain plugs, copper wire recycling machine should be equipped with a shredder and magnetic separator, so the process is shredding, crushing, air separation, magnetic separation and electrostatic separation.
