How much do you know about the waste wire and cable recycling plant?

How much do you know about the waste wire and cable recycling plant? In the following article, I will make a brief introduction about waste wire and cable recycling plant.

1. What is waste wire and cable recycling plant?

The waste wire and cable recycling plant is an environmental friendly machine designed to process waste wire and cable, allowing for the recovery of valuable materials such as copper or aluminum and plastic. With the help of waste wire and cable recycling plant, we not only separate pure copper for profit but also reducing the negative impact on environmental pollution.

2. What is the process of waste wire and cable recycling plant?

The working process of waste wire and cable recycling plant as follows:

1, Shredding

Using a shredder to shred the into small pieces around 4-5cm.

2, Crushing

Using a crusher to crush the small pieces into small particles.

3, Air separation

The air separator suspends and separates copper and plastics with the same particle size due to the different forces received by different weights. For the normal home square wires, it is enough to be equipped with an air separator.

4, Electrostatic separation

Electrostatic separator is mainly based on the different charging properties of metals and non-metals. If there are many thin wires, the electrostatic separator can increase the separation rate up to 99%.

During the whole process, there are cyclone dust collector or pulse dust collector to collect dust automatically, making sure the site clean.

3. What is the product of waste wire and cable recycling plant?

After processing by waste wire cable recycling plant, we can get pure copper and plastic. The copper separated can be sold directly to the copper electrolytic plant or the metal trading market, which can also be reused to make other new products, like copper foils, car wires, telephone wires, etc. 

As for the plastic, you can sell it to the people who collect plastic. The plastic can be used to make recycled plastic pellets by extrusion to make new plastic products, like, insoles, even wire cover etc. And all of them can bring economic benefit to us.

4. What is the benefits of waste wire and cable recycling plant?

1, High rate of metal recovery

2, Saving power, saving manpower and high efficiency

3, No any pollution for air and waster

4, PLC system makes it easier to control the whole line, the negative pressure feeding system prevents the dust from running out

5. Is the waste wire and cable recycling business profitable?

The profit is not certain due to the price of waste wire and cable is fluctuate. And because of the different copper content, the price will be different. The data in the below table is for reference only. You can use the items in the table to calculate the profit based on your actual situation.

Profit Analysis

Generally speaking, the copper content in each ton of waste wire and cable is about 40%, such as the market price of copper is about 7620 US dollars per ton, and the separation rate of our waste wire and cable recycling plant is 99%, then the profit value per ton is $3048 from per ton scrap cable wires. Every ton of waste scrap wire contains about 60% plastic, the profit of plastic is about 125USD per ton.

Due to the insufficient supply of refined copper, the demand for scrap copper is large and continues to increase. Therefore, the profit of waste cable wire recycling business is considerable.

You now have a based understanding of waste wire cable recycling plant after reading above introduction. If you are interested in waste wire and cable recycling business, and want to know more details, please contact Henan Doing Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.
