THE BUYER PROBLEM

Are You Losing Profit in Scrap Cable Recycling?

Scrap cables contain valuable copper, but inefficient processing can leave copper inside plastic, increase labor costs and reduce the selling value of the final output.

A correctly selected copper granulator helps process mixed cables more consistently and reduces dependence on manual stripping.

  • Manual stripping is too slow for thin and tangled wires
  • Labor costs rise while throughput remains limited
  • Incomplete separation reduces copper value
  • Burning creates pollution and may be restricted
  • Plugs, iron and mixed insulation complicate processing
  • Choosing only by price can create unstable results

What Is a Copper Granulator Machine?

A copper granulator is a dry-type recycling machine that crushes insulated cable into small particles, then separates copper or aluminum from plastic insulation.

Air separation and vibration separation sort the particles by weight, density and movement. The result is separated metal granules for resale or refining and plastic granules for recycling or controlled disposal.

  • Suitable for thin, mixed, tangled and irregular cables
  • Continuous batch processing instead of one-by-one stripping
  • Dry physical process without a wet separation system

Wire stripping machine: removes insulation from individual regular cables.
Copper granulator: crushes mixed cables and separates metal from plastic in continuous batches.

MATERIAL RANGE

What Materials Can Be Processed?

The best machine and configuration depend on cable diameter, metal content, insulation type, plugs, iron and other impurities.

Household & Communication Wire

Appliance wire, renovation cable, telephone wire, network cable and selected data cable.

Automotive & Plug Wire

Vehicle harnesses and plug wire; iron-containing plugs may require magnetic separation.

Computer & Mixed Cable

Electronic connection wires and mixed insulated cable with different sizes and insulation.

Copper & Aluminum Cable

Copper- or aluminum-core insulated cable within the recommended processing range.

Mixed cable, copper granules, copper strands and separated plastic granules

CONFIRM BEFORE FEEDING

Some Cable Materials Require a Different Setup

Some materials require pre-sorting, pre-shredding, magnetic separation or additional separation equipment.

  • Armored cable with steel reinforcement
  • Oil-filled or contaminated cable
  • Very thick cable requiring cutting or pre-shredding
  • Cable with large plugs or excessive iron
  • Fine hair wire requiring precise airflow adjustment
  • Highly mixed cable with large size differences

How the Copper Granulator Works

The exact configuration varies, but a standard dry cable-recycling process follows four decision-ready stages.

01 — Inspect & Sort

Check cable type, diameter, copper content, plugs, iron and whether pre-shredding is required.

02 — Feed & Granulate

Prepared cable enters the line and is cut into consistent copper-plastic particles.

03 — Separate

Airflow and vibration separate heavier metal from lighter plastic; optional systems handle complex material.

04 — Inspect Output

Collect copper, plastic and dust separately, then check purity, recovery and operating stability.

TEST BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Real Material Tests Reveal the Right Configuration

Before recommending a machine, review the cable material and required capacity. A controlled test can verify feeding, crushing, separation and final output.

Review continuous feeding, copper-plastic separation, final copper condition and plastic output.

Review iron removal, plug-wire preparation, magnetic separation and stable feeding.

Review pre-shredding, continuous production, line stability, final output and dust collection.
Mixed cable, copper granules, copper strands and separated plastic granules

OUTPUT QUALITY

How We Evaluate the Separation Result

Final output should be judged from the actual cable material, not a universal purity claim. A structured inspection shows whether airflow, vibration or secondary separation needs adjustment.

  • Copper remaining in the plastic output
  • Plastic remaining in the copper output
  • Iron or other metal contamination
  • Particle-size consistency
  • Dust level and dust-collection performance
  • Feeding stability during continuous operation
  • Need for secondary or electrostatic separation

Material testing provides more useful buying evidence than a theoretical purity number.

MACHINE ANATOMY

Core Components of a Copper Granulator

Machine performance depends on the complete system, not one headline specification.

Complete copper cable granulator recycling line

The crusher reduces insulated cable into particles. Blade condition, clearance and feeding consistency affect output and power use.

Airflow separates heavier copper or aluminum particles from lighter plastic.

The vibrating stage improves separation and helps reduce copper loss in plastic output.

Air ducts and filters collect fine particles and help maintain stable airflow.

The control cabinet manages motors, line components and selected safety systems.

Optional feeding and size-reduction equipment support larger, tangled or continuous material flows.

Magnetic separation removes iron from plug wire and contaminated mixed cable.

CONFIGURE FOR THE MATERIAL

Optional Equipment for Different Recycling Requirements

Optional equipment is selected according to cable size, impurities, required capacity and the final separation standard.

Supports controlled material feeding and continuous production on medium and industrial lines.

Reduces large, tangled or heavy cable before granulation and improves feeding consistency.

Removes iron from plugs, connectors and contaminated mixed cable.

Can improve separation of fine metal particles from plastic in selected applications.

Adds another separation stage for fine or complex materials when the first pass is not sufficient.

Recommended for larger production lines and materials that create more fine dust.

Can include blades, screens, belts, bearings and selected electrical components for planned maintenance.

Plan the Site Before Ordering

  • Machine dimensions, maintenance access and material storage
  • Voltage, phase, frequency and available transformer capacity
  • Operators, feeding method and raw-material preparation
  • Copper, plastic, dust and magnetic-output collection
  • Ventilation, floor load, forklift and lifting access

OPERATION & WEAR PARTS

Protect Capacity and Separation Performance

  • Daily checks for blades, screens, belts and bearings
  • Airflow and vibration adjustment for each material
  • Regular dust-system and duct cleaning
  • Operator training and documented maintenance
  • Planned stock of blades, screens, belts and selected electrical parts

PROCESSING METHOD

Granulation vs Stripping and Burning

Low initial investment, but slow and labor-intensive; unsuitable for thin and highly mixed wires.

Effective for thick, regular cables; less suitable for thin, tangled or highly mixed materials.

Creates pollution, may be restricted, can damage material quality and is not recommended.

Supports dry, continuous processing of mixed and tangled cable, but requires correct selection and operator adjustment.

PROFITABILITY WITHOUT HYPE

Is a Copper Granulator Profitable?

Profitability depends on stable cable supply, copper content, local metal prices, machine utilization and operating cost.

Daily cable input × recoverable copper content × local selling price − cable purchase − electricity − labor − maintenance = estimated processing margin.

  • Scrap cable buying price and copper percentage
  • Local copper and plastic selling value
  • Electricity, labor and operating hours
  • Actual machine capacity for your material
  • Blade, wear-parts and maintenance cost

We do not provide unrealistic payback promises without knowing your local prices and cable material.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

A stripping machine removes insulation from individual thick or regular cables. A granulator crushes mixed cable and separates metal from plastic, making it more suitable for thin, tangled and irregular wires.

Yes. If the material contains plugs, iron or other impurities, magnetic separation or pre-sorting may be recommended.

Selected machines can process aluminum wire after airflow, vibration and material settings are adjusted for aluminum density.

Some plug wire can be processed with magnetic separation. Armored cable requires material confirmation and may need pre-treatment.

A pre-shredder may be recommended for thick, tangled, heavy or high-volume cable. Small prepared wires may feed directly into selected machines.

Cable type, diameter, copper content, insulation, feeding size, operating method, machine condition and optional equipment all affect capacity.

Output depends on material and adjustment. A controlled material test is more reliable than applying one purity promise to every cable.

Standard dry-type systems use crushing, air separation and vibration separation without a wet processing system.

Voltage, phase, frequency and selected electrical components can be configured for the destination country and project.
