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.
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.
4. Electrostatic separation
The above 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.
As for different type cables, the cable wire recycling machine
components are different. If you don' t know how to choose the suitable
machine, welcome to contact us.
