This is an integrated dry-type scrap copper wire granulator and separator. This equipment is designed to recycle waste electrical cables by mechanically separating high-purity copper from plastic insulation.

Unlike “wet” systems that use water, this “dry” machine uses a physical separation process involving crushing and airflow, making it environmentally friendly with no wastewater discharge.

Core Components and How They Work

The machine integrates several specialized modules into a single, compact unit:

• Feeding Hopper (Yellow): Raw scrap wires (typically up to 20-25mm in diameter) are introduced here.

• Main Crusher: Inside the housing, high-speed SKD-11 steel blades chop the wires into small segments, usually 3–5mm in size.

• Airflow Separator: A high-pressure fan blows upward through the crushed mixture. Because copper is much denser than plastic, the air lifts the lighter plastic bits while the heavy copper remains on the separation bed.

• Vibrating Screen: This table uses gravity and vibration to further refine the sorting, guiding clean “copper rice” to the front outlet and plastic pellets to another.

• Dust Collection System (Grey/Blue Unit): An integrated filtration system (such as a pulse dust collector) captures fine particles to maintain a clean workspace.

• PLC Control Panel: A centralized electrical cabinet used to manage power and adjust vibration and airflow speeds for optimal purity.

Essential Maintenance Tips

To maintain high purity rates and extend machine life, follow these guidelines:

• Blade Care: Crusher blades are wearable parts; they should be sharpened or replaced if they become dull, which is indicated by a drop in breaking efficiency.

• Sieve Cleaning: The internal screens (3mm–5mm) should be cleaned regularly to prevent dust buildup from blocking essential airflow.

• Lubrication: Add new grease to operating parts regularly (e.g., every 40 hours of operation) and to the crusher bearings every 8 hours.

• Magnetic Separation: If your scrap contains iron (common in automotive harnesses), it is highly recommended to use a magnetic separator at the input stage to protect the granulation blades.

This machine is specializing for all kinds of scrap copper wires or cables,which are oil polluted.The wires or cables diameter should be below 2Omm.The scrap copper wires and cables can be crushed by this machine firstly,then the copper will be separated from PVC plactic by water vibrating machine.This machine is effective for recycling copper and pvc plastic from scrap/waste copper wires/cables.Whenprocessing the scrap/waste copper wires/cables,also has no dust,has no environmental pollution.
