Our copper wire granulator is an efficient solution for recycling waste copper wires, cables, aluminum wires, and other wire scrap into clean copper and plastic granules. Our copper granulator combines crushing, conveying, dust collection, gravity separation, tailings screening, and PLC control in one complete system. With a compact design and high separation purity of over 99%, it helps you recover valuable metal while keeping the operation simple and efficient.
What Is a Copper Wire Granulator?
The copper wire granulator is designed to process different types of waste wires and cables. The complete system crushes the wires, separates the metal from the plastic insulation, and collects the two materials separately.
You can feed various waste wires, cables, and fine wires into the machine without sorting them beforehand. This reduces preparation work and makes the recycling process more convenient.
The final products are mainly:
- Clean copper granules
- プラスチック顆粒
The separation purity can reach over 99%, helping reduce plastic contamination in the recovered copper.
Complete Copper Granulator Machine System
The copper wire granulator machine is not simply a crushing machine. It is a complete recycling system consisting of several connected sections:
- Crushing system
- 搬送システム
- Dust collection system
- Gravity separation system
- Tailings screening system
- Control system
These systems work together to complete the recycling process from waste wire feeding to the collection of copper and plastic granules.
This integrated design also saves space and reduces the need for manual handling.
Actual Working Process of a Copper Wire Granulator
The actual working process of a wire granulator machine can be summarized as:
Waste Wires Feeding → Crushing → Conveying → Air Gravity Separation → Front Vibrating Screen for Copper Discharge → Rear Vibrating Screen for Plastic Discharge → Separate Collection of Copper and Plastic Granules
At the same time, the dust collection system operates throughout the crushing and separation processes to collect dust generated during production.
1. Waste Wire Feeding
Various types of waste wires, cables, fine wires, and similar materials can be directly fed into the copper granulator.
Different types and sizes of waste wires do not need to be sorted individually before feeding. They can be fed into the machine together, reducing the amount of manual preparation required before recycling.
2. Crushing
The waste wires first enter the crushing machine.
The crusher cuts and breaks the waste wires into smaller pieces, allowing the copper core and plastic insulation to become sufficiently separated and dispersed. This creates the appropriate material condition for the following separation process.
The crushing system uses SKD-11 alloy cutting tools with a hardness of up to HR58. The blades adopt a splayed alternate shearing structure for good wear resistance and durability.
The equipment is also equipped with a water-cooling system, which helps reduce material heating and melting during long-term operation.
3. Conveying
After crushing, the processed material is transferred through the conveying system to the separation section.
The conveyor continuously moves the crushed material into the separation area, connecting the crushing and separation processes into a continuous operation while reducing manual material handling.
4. Air Gravity Separation
After crushing, the copper and plastic have been broken up and dispersed, but they are still mixed together.
The material then enters the air gravity separation system, where airflow, vibration, and the different characteristics of copper and plastic work together to separate the two materials.
の vibration frequency そして air supply for material suspension can be adjusted according to different types of raw materials, helping achieve better copper-plastic separation.
In simple terms:
Crushing disperses the copper and plastic, while gravity separation separates them.
This is the key stage of the copper wire granulator.
5. Front Vibrating Screen – Copper Discharge
After gravity separation, the copper material is discharged through the front vibrating screen.
This section serves as the copper outlet, where the separated material is collected as relatively clean copper granules for further use or sale.
6. Rear Vibrating Screen – Plastic Discharge
The plastic tailings remaining after separation enter the rear vibrating screen.
This section serves as the plastic outlet, where the remaining material is further screened and the plastic is discharged separately.
Therefore, the copper wire granulator does not only recover copper. It can also recover the plastic insulation as a useful secondary product.
The final products are:
Copper Granules + Plastic Granules
7. Dust Collection
During the crushing and separation processes, dust generated from the material is collected by the pulse dust collection system.
The complete machine adopts an enclosed operating design. The dust collection system works together with the production process, collecting dust and discharging it through the dust outlet.
This helps maintain a cleaner working environment during operation.
8. PLC Control System
The copper wire granulator is also equipped with a PLC control system and electrical control cabinet.
The control system allows the crushing, conveying, separation, and related auxiliary equipment to be operated in a coordinated manner.
The machine is designed for relatively simple operation, and according to the supplied equipment information, one operator can operate the system during normal production.
