Copper Wire Granulator Cable Recycling Machine Copper Plastic Separation

Process Flow:

Copper rice machine, professionally known as waste wire and cable recycling equipment, is a machine used to efficiently separate and recycle the metal (mainly copper) and plastic sheath in waste wires and cables.
Airflow Sorting: This method exploits the significant difference in density and aerodynamic properties between copper and plastic. In a controlled airflow, lighter plastic particles are blown away, while heavier copper particles fall due to gravity, achieving separation. This method is simple, low-cost, and suitable for processing coarse copper rice.

High-Voltage Electrostatic Sorting: This is the mainstream technology used in mid- to high-end copper rice mills. It utilizes the different electrical conductivity of copper and plastic in a high-voltage electrostatic field. Charged copper particles are quickly attracted to the electrodes, while insulating plastic particles are driven by inertia, resulting in precise separation. This method achieves extremely high sorting efficiency and purity (both exceeding 99%), and produces no wastewater, making it more environmentally friendly.

Dust Removal and Purification: The crushing and sorting processes generate a significant amount of dust. TONTEN copper rice mills are typically equipped with a two-stage dust removal system, such as a cyclone separator + pulse bag filter. The cyclone separator first collects larger particles, while the bag filter filters fine dust, ensuring emissions meet environmental standards and protecting the working environment.

Core Advantages:
1. Environmental Benefits: The cable recycling and granulation machine achieves harmless and resourceful processing of waste materials, reducing the environmental impact of landfill and incineration. In particular, the dry sorting technology avoids water pollution.
2. Improved Recycling Efficiency: The mechanized and automated processing process exponentially improves efficiency compared to traditional manual incineration or wire stripping. The copper granulation machine reduces labor costs and intensity.
3. Economic Value: The separated copper granules have a purity of over 99.5% and can be directly sold as raw material for copper smelting, with a value far higher than unprocessed waste wire. Plastic granules can also be used to manufacture low-value-added plastic products.

Applications:

Automotive wiring: A large byproduct of the auto dismantling industry.

Communication cables: Waste from network upgrades and construction projects.

Home appliance dismantling cables: Wires from old refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, etc.

Other miscellaneous cables: Various wires generated in daily life.
