Complete Journey of Copper Recovery from Scrap Cable Wires

Scrap cables contain valuable copper and aluminum, but efficient recovery depends on effective separation from plastic insulation. For mixed wire waste, such as automotive wiring harnesses, household appliance power cords, computer cables, communication wires, and industrial electrical cables, a complete cable recycling line offers an efficient, environmentally friendly solution.

The shredded material then enters a crusher, where the cables are further broken down, and the copper conductors are liberated from the plastic insulation. Once sufficient liberation is achieved, the material is transferred to an air-separation and vibrating-screening system. These stages separate the majority of the copper and plastic based on differences in density and physical properties.

To maximize recovery, the remaining mixed particles are directed to an electrostatic separator. This final refining stage enables recovery of residual metal particles from plastic fines, allowing the recycling line to achieve a copper-plastic separation rate exceeding 99%.

The system is also equipped with a pulse dust collection unit, ensuring clean operation and effective dust control throughout the recycling process. By combining shredding, crushing, air separation, screening, and electrostatic separation into a single integrated workflow, the cable recycling line converts mixed wire waste into high-purity copper and plastic products, creating greater value from materials that would otherwise be discarded. Take the next step toward sustainability—consider integrating a complete cable recycling line into your operations today to maximize both environmental benefits and material value.
