With the popularization of electric vehicles and the upgrading of urban infrastructure, the demand for copper cables is growing. Meanwhile, compared with primary smelting, the energy consumption of recycled copper is only about 15%, while the plastics in the waste cable can also be reused, with significant economic and environmental benefits. Therefore, copper cable recycling technology with high separation rate and environmental performance is receiving extensive attention from the market.

The basic process of copper cable recycling

Copper cable recycling mainly includes four stages: preliminary classification, mechanical crushing, separation and purification, and collection of finished products. Firstly, the waste cables are cut and categorized according to type and diameter to remove obvious debris. Subsequently, the cable is cut into small segments through the crusher, and enters the pulverizer for further grinding to fully dissociate the copper core from the plastic. Subsequently into the physical sorting link, with the help of an air sorting machine to use the specific gravity difference between copper and plastic for effective separation; such as the need for higher purity, can increase the electrostatic separation link. Finally, the separated copper particles and plastic particles are collected and stored separately. The copper can be directly smelted and reused, while the plastic can enter the recycling process, realizing the full life cycle recycling of materials.

Recycling equipment composition and technology highlights

Copper cable recycling equipment usually consists of a crusher, pulverizer, air sorter, electrostatic separator (optional), dust removal system, and PLC automatic control system. The crusher is responsible for roughly cutting the cable, the pulverizer further refines the copper wire into particles; the air sorter is the key link, through the wind regulation to accurately achieve the separation of copper and plastic; in the application scenarios that require higher purity, the electrostatic separator can be added to further optimize the separation effect. The whole production line is equipped with a negative pressure dust removal system, realizing dust-free operation and meeting the environmental protection standard. Meanwhile, it adopts a PLC intelligent control system, which has a friendly man-machine interface, easy operation, and supports remote monitoring and fault diagnosis. The overall operation of the system is stable, with a copper recovery rate of more than 99%, low energy consumption, easy maintenance, and adaptable to the recycling needs of different scales.

Diversified solutions and service support

According to different user needs, the copper cable recycling equipment provides a variety of configurations from a small all-in-one machine to a large-scale automated production line. Small machines are suitable for individual recycling stations and start-ups, with small investment, small footprint and simple operation; medium-sized production lines are suitable for regional recycling factories, balancing production capacity and investment; and large-scale automated systems are for industrial-grade customers, with high efficiency, 24-hour continuous operation, and supporting an annual capacity of thousands of tons or more.
