Copper wire scrap processing methods and their characteristics

With the improvement of people's living standards, all kinds of household appliances and vehicles are becoming more and more popular, the use of wires and cables is increasing, and the amount of copper wire scrap is also increasing. In the current market, there are mainly three ways to process the copper wire scrap: fire processing method, water processing method, and physical processing method.

Method 1: Processing copper wire scrap by fire

Processing copper wire scrap by fire

This waste copper wire recycling method mainly uses the combustible nature of the wire sheath to burn the waste wire scrap, and then recover the copper inside. In the process of wire incineration, the surface of the copper wire is severely oxidized, which reduces the recovery rate of non-ferrous metal copper and produces toxic gases polluting the environment.

Method 2: Processing copper wire scrap by water

Processing copper wire scrap by water type copper wire recycling machine

This method mainly separates copper and plastic by water type copper wire recycling machine according to their different specific gravity. But it will produce waste water pollution while processing copper wire scrap so it doesn’t be encouraged, even it will cause a arrest in some country.

Method 3: Processing copper wire scrap by physical way

Dry type copper wire recycling machine

It refers to the processing method of using dry type copper wire recycling machine to recycle copper and plastic. DOING's dry type copper wire recycling machine adopts dry physical separation technology. Through crushing, air separation and electrostatic separation processes, metal and non-metal elements are extracted from it, and the metal recovery rate can reach 99.9%. Just need to put the copper wire scrap into the copper wire crusher, you can get pure copper rice and plastic. The whole processing flow also equips with pulse dust collector, which can remove dust automatically. This way is totally friend to environment.

The separated copper can be directly sold to the metal processing factory for processing and making metal objects; plastic can also be sold directly to plastic processing plants or used as wood additives to realize the recycling of resources. And it’s worth mentioning that the whole processing flow also equips with pulse dust collector, which can remove dust automatically and won’t cause any pollution to the environment.

After the introduction of the above 3 methods and their respective characteristics, we can see using copper wire recycling machine to process copper wire scrap is the best method.
