ACSR Cable Recycling Process for Aluminum and Steel Recovery

ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) cable is widely used in power transmission because it combines a strong steel core with conductive aluminum strands. The steel core provides mechanical strength, while the outer aluminum wires are responsible for transmitting electricity. Due to its composite structure and large use in infrastructure projects, recycling discarded ACSR cables has become an important opportunity for metal recovery and resource reuse.

An ACSR recycling solution is designed specifically to process waste ACSR wires using advanced crushing and magnetic separation technology. During processing, the cables are automatically cut into manageable lengths and then shredded into small fragments. A magnetic separator precisely separates the steel core from the aluminum conductors, achieving separation rates of up to 99%. This high level of purity significantly increases the recycling value of both recovered metals.

The recycling system typically adopts a modular design that integrates automatic feeding, high-efficiency crushing, dust removal, and magnetic separation. Materials are first conveyed into the main crusher, where the cable structure is broken down. The shredded material then passes through a belt-type magnetic separator that removes the steel from the mixed fragments. Throughout the process, dust collection systems ensure clean and environmentally friendly operation.

As a result, the output materials are cleanly separated aluminum pieces and steel fragments, ready for further industrial recycling. With high processing capacity, low energy consumption, and stable performance, ACSR cable recycling machines provide an efficient and economical solution for power companies, scrap metal recyclers, demolition contractors, and manufacturing industries seeking to recover valuable metals and support sustainable resource utilization.
