Dry type copper wire recycling machine VS Wet type copper wire recycling machine

Copper wire recycling machine is mainly used to recover the copper and plastic in the waste wire, so as to realize reuse and bring considerable profits for people. The common copper wire recycling machine on the market is generally divided into dry type and wet type. Then which is one is better? Here let DOING make a comparison to help you find the answer.

In comparison, the differences of dry type copper wire recycling machine and wet type copper wire recycling machine are reflected in four aspects, including separation method, sorting rate, product price and labor cost.

1. Separation method

Working process of dry type copper wire recycling machine

Dry type copper wire recycling machine adopts dry physical separation method, and there is no need to add water and heat in the copper wire recycling process. Through crushing and separation, copper and plastic can be directly separated without causing any pollution; while the wet copper wire recycling machine uses the separation method of shaking table with water flow, water is constantly added in the separation process, which may produce a certain degree waste water pollution, and it’s even banned in some areas.

2. Sorting rate

When using copper wire recycling machine to process fine wire, copper will inevitably be mixed in the plastic after the first separation. The copper can be recovered through electrostatic separator by using dry type copper wire recycling machine, and the separation rate can reach 99.9%. While the water type copper wire recycling machine can’t separated the copper, and the separation rate is lower.

3. Product price

The copper separated by dry type copper wire recycling machine is bright in color and high in quality; while the copper separated by wet type copper wire recycling machine will be oxidized and the copper quality will decline. Relatively speaking, the price of the copper separated by the wet type copper wire recycling machine will be nearly 100 USD lower than that of the dry type.

4. Labor cost

Wet type copper wire recycling machine

The dry type copper wire recycling machine occupies a small area and has higher automaton degree, it just needs 1-2 workers to operate the machine. But the wet type copper wire recycling machine needs a lot of space and requires 3-6 workers. Because the copper separated out by wet type copper wire recycling machine needs to be spread out and dried manually.

Comprehensively speaking, dry type copper wire recycling machine is more cost-effective than wet type copper wire recycling machine. Doing company has different configurations of dry type copper wire recycling machine to meet your different needs.
