Copper Separator Machine for Electrical Wire Scrap
The Copper Separator Machine for Electrical Wire Scrap is a recycling machine designed to process scrap cables, telecommunications cables, mixed wires, and similar materials. Through processes such as crushing, grinding, and air classification based on specific gravity, it effectively separates copper from plastic, thereby enabling the sorted recovery and reuse of copper resources and plastic materials.
Copper Separator Machine for Electrical Wire Scrap
Equipment Composition and Operating Principle
The equipment primarily comprises a shredding system, a grinding system, a vibrating screening system, an air classification system, a dust extraction system, and a PLC control system. The entire production process is automated, with operating parameters adjustable according to different cable types to enhance operational stability and sorting efficiency.
Structure of Copper Separator Machine for Electrical Wire Scrap
Scrap cables first enter the shredder for pre-treatment, where large sections of cable are cut into smaller pieces to facilitate subsequent processing. The material then enters the pulveriser, where it is further broken down by high-speed rotating blades, ensuring thorough separation of the copper wires from the plastic sheathing. The pulverised mixed particles are fed into a vibrating screen for grading; material that does not meet the size requirements is returned via the recirculation system to the shredding stage to prevent incomplete separation of copper and plastic.
During the sorting stage, the equipment utilises the density difference between copper and plastic to separate the two materials via air classification; certain configurations may also incorporate electrostatic separation technology to improve the recovery rate of fine copper particles. The final output consists of high-purity copper particles (99.99%) and plastic pellets, ready for subsequent sale or reuse.
Structural Features and Operational Advantages
The copper cable recycling and separation machine features a modular design, with functional units connected via conveyor systems. Its compact footprint facilitates installation and maintenance. The equipment is fitted with a pulse dust collection system to capture dust generated during processing, thereby reducing pollution in the production environment and improving workshop cleanliness.
The PLC intelligent control system enables automatic feeding, operational monitoring, and fault alarms, thereby reducing the complexity of manual operation. Compared to traditional manual wire stripping methods, this equipment is better suited to the continuous processing of large volumes of waste cables, thereby improving processing efficiency.
Depending on the type of material and equipment configuration, this type of cable recycling production line can typically process a variety of materials, including waste copper wire, power cables and telecommunications cables. Our engineering experts will tailor the process to the customer’s specific materials, utilising a combination of crushing, screening and air classification, alongside continuous optimisation and adjustment, to achieve a high separation rate between copper and plastic.
High-purity Copper Granules
Application Value and Scope of Application
With the increasing demand for scrap cable recycling, copper wire separation equipment has become standard machinery for recycling enterprises. It not only recovers copper material of high economic value but also enables the secondary utilisation of the separated plastic.
For cable recycling enterprises, selecting copper-plastic separation equipment of the appropriate specification requires configuration based on raw material type, processing capacity and end-product requirements. For example, coarse cables and fine wire harnesses with high copper content may require different shredding blade sets, screen mesh specifications, and separation methods.
