Copper Wire Recycling Equipment for Fine and Mixed Cable Scrap

In a recent inquiry, a customer requested detailed machine videos, technical specifications, and a quotation for a copper wire recycling solution with higher output capacity. The target processing range is between 100 kg/h and 1000 kg/h, with materials mainly consisting of small-diameter wires such as automobile electrical wires, car bottom wiring harnesses, computer copper wires, communication cables, and household electrical cables. This reflects a growing demand for flexible, scalable solutions capable of handling fine and mixed wire scrap efficiently.

Small wires present unique processing challenges due to their thin copper strands, mixed insulation materials, and potential impurities. Traditional stripping methods are inefficient and labor-intensive for such materials. Modern copper wire granulator systems utilize a combination of shredding, crushing, air separation, and vibration separation to achieve high-purity copper recovery. These systems can typically reach copper purity rates of over 99%, making them ideal for processing fine wires and mixed cable scrap.

The requested capacity range of 100 kg/h and 1000 kg/h corresponds to different operational scales. A 100 kg/h system is generally suitable for small recyclers or pilot operations, offering compact design, lower investment cost, and easy operation. In contrast, a 1000 kg/h production line is designed for industrial-scale facilities, featuring continuous operation, higher automation levels, integrated dust collection systems, and stable performance to meet environmental and productivity requirements.

When configuring a solution, several technical factors must be clarified, including the wire diameter range, the presence of steel or aluminum components, the degree of material mixing, the daily processing target, and local voltage standards. These parameters directly influence machine model selection, separation system design, energy consumption, and overall quotation. Proper evaluation ensures optimized investment and stable long-term operation.

As automotive electronics, communication infrastructure, and residential wiring replacement continue to expand globally, the volume of small wire scrap is increasing steadily. Efficient copper recovery systems not only reduce labor costs but also maximize copper value and minimize material loss. For investors targeting a processing capacity of 100–1000 kg/h, selecting the right technical configuration is crucial to achieving strong profitability and sustainable recycling performance.
