A Copper Wire Granulator is used to process suitable insulated wire into smaller particles and separate copper from the insulation. It can be useful when businesses handle smaller wires or mixed cable scrap that is not best suited to conventional stripping. A Copper Wire Stripping Machine may still be preferable for suitable larger cable sizes where direct insulation removal is practical. This guide explains the differences between these processing approaches and covers cable compatibility, processing capacity, separation performance, output requirements, maintenance, and equipment selection for businesses handling copper-bearing scrap.
Cable scrap contains valuable copper, but recovering it properly requires more than simply cutting the outer insulation. A typical cable processing operation involves sorting the scrap, removing insulation, processing the exposed material, and collecting the recovered copper. A Copper Wire…
