1TPH Copper Wire Recycling Machine Plant
A scrap wire and cable recycling production line is a specialised equipment system designed to convert mixed copper wires, telecommunications cables, domestic wiring, and other scrap cables into high-purity copper granules and plastic pellets, achieving resource recovery through crushing, grinding, and physical sorting processes. For recycling enterprises with high annual processing volumes, a 1TPH production capacity configuration strikes a balance between processing efficiency, recovery quality, and operational cost control.
Equipment Composition and Operating Principle
This 1TPH scrap wire recycling production line primarily comprises a conveying system, a primary shredder, a secondary grinding system, an air classification unit, a vibrating screening system, and an electrical control system. The entire set of equipment is controlled centrally via a PLC, ensuring coordinated operation across all process stages, minimising manual intervention and enhancing production stability.
During the production process, waste electrical cables first enter the shredding system for pre-treatment, where long cables are cut into pieces suitable for subsequent processing. They then proceed to the secondary shredding stage, where the copper wires are thoroughly separated from the plastic sheathing. Compared to a single-stage shredding process, this dual-stage approach further improves the separation of copper and plastic, creating better conditions for subsequent sorting.
The shredded mixture is then fed into the air classification and screening system. By utilising the differences in density and movement characteristics between copper and plastic, the two materials are effectively separated. Following processing, high-purity copper granules and relatively clean plastic pellets are obtained, providing the basic raw materials for the utilisation of recycled resources.
Equipment Features and Technical Advantages
In terms of equipment parameters, this production line has a processing capacity of up to 1,000 kg/h and a total installed power of approximately 55 kW, making it suitable for the continuous processing of waste wires and cables of various specifications. The overall dimensions of the unit are approximately 6.4 × 3.6 × 3.55 metres, requiring a relatively compact footprint, which facilitates layout planning in medium to large-scale recycling workshops.
The equipment features a dedicated conveying system designed to ensure the stable transport of copper-plastic mixtures, thereby reducing the risk of blockages and material build-up. The shredder blades are designed to be removable; once worn, they can be detached individually for regrinding, thereby reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the equipment.
In terms of sorting efficiency, the copper recovery rate can reach approximately 99 per cent. For recycling enterprises, every one percentage point increase in copper purity can have a direct impact on final sales revenue. Consequently, the design combining dual crushing with fine sorting not only enhances recycling quality but also improves resource utilisation.
Furthermore, the production line operates at a low noise level and is equipped with a dust extraction system, effectively controlling dust dispersion. Compared with traditional manual dismantling methods, this not only improves the working environment but also enhances production safety and continuous operation capabilities.
