Copper Cable Granulator Recycling Machine
The copper cable pelletising recycling machine is a set of equipment designed for the shredding of waste electrical wires and cables, the separation of copper from plastic, and the recovery of pellets. It can process waste cables with a maximum diameter of approximately 20 mm. Through heavy-duty shredding, air classification, and vibrating screening, the copper core is separated from the plastic sheath, yielding copper pellets and plastic pellets that can be further utilised.
Main Components of the Copper Cable Granulator Recycling Machine
This wire and cable recycling production line primarily consists of a feed conveyor, a shredder, a feed blower, a vibrating separator, a pulse dust collector, and a PLC control cabinet. Each piece of equipment performs a specific processing task, forming a continuous workflow from material feed to finished product output.
The crusher is one of the core pieces of equipment in the entire production line, responsible for crushing waste cables into particles suitable for subsequent sorting. The equipment can process relatively thick waste cables whilst also meeting the crushing requirements for fine wires. Waste cables with a maximum diameter of approximately 20 mm can enter the production line without the need for separate large-scale pre-treatment equipment.
The shredded copper-plastic mixture enters the vibrating sorting system. The equipment utilises a combination of vibrating screening and air separation, causing the copper and plastic particles to form a wave-like motion on the screen surface. Due to differences in density, particle size, and movement characteristics between copper and plastic, the two materials gradually move towards different outlets, thereby achieving mechanical separation.
Separation of Fine Copper Wire and Automated Control
Conventional cable recycling equipment often encounters issues when processing fine copper wire, such as copper strands being entrained with plastic or residual copper remaining in the plastic. This system, utilising linear vibration of the screening box and air-assisted separation, achieves effective separation even for wires with individual copper core diameters of ≥0.2 mm. Under suitable material conditions and equipment parameters, the purity of the separated copper-plastic mixture can reach approximately 99 per cent.
1000kg/h Copper Cable Granulator Recycling Machine
The production line is designed for a capacity of approximately 100–1,000 kg/h; actual output is influenced by factors such as the specifications of the waste cables, the copper-to-plastic ratio, the uniformity of the feed, and the required particle size of the final product. Therefore, when selecting equipment, one must not rely solely on the theoretical hourly output; the specifications of the shredder and the sorting parameters must also be determined based on the actual type of waste cable.
The entire system employs PLC-based automatic control, enabling all major pieces of equipment to start and stop in coordination according to pre-set programmes. The operator interface displays the operating status of key equipment and alerts operators to any anomalies, thereby reducing the need for manual intervention and facilitating maintenance during continuous production.
In the recycling of scrap copper cables, stable copper-plastic separation is the key factor determining the value of the recovered product. Consequently, the cable shredder, vibrating screen, and air separation system must be integrated as a complete system, rather than prioritising shredding speed in isolation.
