— Put your cable supply to work

Turn waste cable into separate copper and insulation.

Selling insulated wire moves material out of your yard. Processing it gives you another option: separate the copper, assess the recovered grade and sell the outputs on their own merits.

Bring cable preparation, granulation and separation into one working route. Give your team distinct outputs to inspect, collect and market, and a processing schedule built around the cable you receive regularly.

MECUVO supplies copper wire granulation equipment from China. Bring us the wire you handle and the workload you need to clear; build the equipment choice around that job, whether you are adding your first recovery station or extending an existing line.

— Why process in-house?

Recover more value from your cable scrap.

01

Sell separated material

Granulation creates distinct material streams instead of leaving metal tied up in insulation. The commercial advantage depends on the recovered grade and the prices your buyers actually pay.

02

Choose where your labor goes

For suitable wire, batch processing is an alternative to stripping each piece individually. Compare sorting, preparation and feeding time as well as the time inside the machine.

03

Build around repeatable supply

A recurring cable stream is a stronger basis for equipment selection than an occasional peak load. Size the process for the material you can keep supplying and the shifts you intend to run.

— Will it handle my wire?

Which types of cable do you process?

Wire that looks similar from the outside can behave differently after cutting. Conductor size, insulation, connectors and contamination affect preparation and separation. These groups help narrow the equipment choice.

Cable applications and preparation decisions
Your cable streamWhat matters for processingThe decision to make
Sorted copper wire and cableConductor size, insulation and the consistency of each batch.Match granulation and separation to the regular feed.
Fine stranded wire and harnessesThin copper strands, terminals, tape and other attached material.Review preparation and whether additional refining or separation is needed.
Thick, rigid copper cableCable length, diameter and the work required to present it to the machine.Compare stripping with granulation; assess cutting or pre-shredding.
Armored, wet, oily or heavily contaminated cableSteel, liquids and other non-standard contents change the process.Assess separately before adding it to the accepted feed.
Aluminum or copper-clad aluminum conductorsThe conductor is not the same product as copper wire.Identify and separate material groups; do not price the output as pure copper.

A focused starting point for regular batches of suitable prepared cable. Compare the offered equipment with your floor space, feeding routine and collection needs.

  • Defined cable range
  • Practical batch handling
  • Separate output collection

Bulky or mixed cable supply

Preparation plus granulation

Consider upstream cutting or pre-shredding when presenting the cable is the bottleneck. The preparation stage must feed the granulator at a usable rate.

  • Incoming cable preparation
  • Controlled transfer between stages
  • Preparation labor included in the review

Identify the stage holding your operation back before replacing everything. Review feeding, granulation, refining or separation against the equipment already on site.

  • Existing equipment interfaces
  • Specific bottleneck to solve

Workers preparing waste cable feed beside a copper granulator

Prepare the feed

Sort the agreed cable types and carry out the cutting or attachment removal needed for the selected equipment.

Copper granulator main cutting and reduction equipment

Reduce and liberate

Granulation reduces the prepared cable and releases metal from insulation. The cutting and screen arrangement must suit the feed.

Copper granulator dust collection bags and connected machinery

Separate the fractions

The selected separation stages divide the liberated material. Additional treatment may be needed for fine or difficult fractions.

Copper granules collected beside the granulator

Collect and check

Keep copper, insulation and return material separate. Inspect all streams before judging the batch result.

— Your saleable output

Check copper quality and recovery together.

Inspect the recovered copper as well as the insulation and any return material. This helps you assess both product quality and copper left in the other outputs.

Purity and recovery answer different questions. Purity concerns the composition of the collected metal stream; recovery concerns the share of incoming copper collected. Evaluate both before using a result in your purchasing calculation.

Tell us the copper grade your buyers require so we can help you assess the separation setup.

Insulation fraction

Look for remaining metal, especially when processing fine wire.

Return material

Include reprocessing time and accumulated mixed material in the batch assessment.

— Will it clear my daily workload?

Capacity starts with your cable and your working day.

Build the requirement from the weight you need to process and the productive hours available. Leave room for preparation, breaks, changeovers, cleaning and maintenance instead of treating every shift hour as full-rate production.

Ask for the recommended model’s processing rate, the cable used in the test and the separation setup. We can provide figures in kg/h and lb/h for comparison.

Daily production planning
Part of the workloadWhy it changes the resultInclude in your review
Material preparationA granulator cannot process wire still waiting to be sorted or cut.Preparation tasks, staff and upstream equipment.
Steady feedingBatch surges and interruptions affect the flow through the equipment.Normal loading method and feed continuity.
Separation qualityA faster feed is not useful if the outputs no longer meet your target.Throughput and output quality measured together.

— Make the business case

Compare processing costs with recovered material value.

Compare what the same cable batch is worth sold as-is with the value of the outputs after processing. Then subtract the additional labor, electricity, wear parts, maintenance, reprocessing and residual-material costs.

Use your local buying and selling prices. Do not assume the insulation has a saleable market, or that every type of recovered copper earns the same price. Ownership, financing and installation costs belong in the wider investment calculation.

A focused equipment scope helps you test the opportunity without paying for stages your current supply does not justify.

Copper wire granulator FAQs

Have a question about your material or project?

That depends on the conductor, insulation and preparation work. Thick, consistent cable may suit stripping; suitable mixed or fine cable may favor granulation. Compare the complete work and outputs for your normal supply, not just one easy sample.

No single feed description covers every cable. Fine strands, armor, connectors, moisture and mixed conductor metals need separate review. Describe these items so the accepted material range is clear.

Use the result for the proposed configuration and relevant cable, with a defined inspection or measurement method. A photo alone cannot establish purity, and purity does not establish recovery.

Include sorting, preparation, feeding, collection and maintenance. The answer depends on handling arrangements and the connected equipment, not only on whether the main granulator has automatic controls.

Ask for an interface review. The feed size, transfer rate, controls, discharge height and material condition must suit the downstream granulator.

Provide the facility’s actual voltage, phase, frequency and site layout. Ask your electrical and safety team to identify documentation and approval requirements before the equipment order; the destination alone does not specify the installation.

Ask about a representative-material trial. Agree the sample, preparation, test objective, any charges and shipping arrangements before sending material. Start with photos and a short description.

Request the selected model’s warranty terms and spare-parts list with the commercial offer. Check wear-item exclusions, part references, ordering arrangements and the procedure for a service enquiry.

Yes, you can enquire about a multi-machine project. State the number of workstations or lines, the material assigned to each and any shared feeding or collection equipment.

Your email and a short description of the cable are enough. Approximate volume and photos help when available; electrical and detailed technical information can follow during selection.
