The best way to get plastic off copper wire

Because scrap copper wire is made of copper and plastic, the scrap copper wire is also called e-waste that can be recycled. We only need to separate the copper and plastic from scrap copper wire to reproduce the new product. Burning scrap copper wire or using wet copper wire recycling machine can separate copper from plastic, but the best way to get plastic off copper wire is using dry type copper wire recycling machine.

Scrap cable wires

Why do you say that the best way to get plastic off copper wire is using dry type copper wire recycling machine? let’s make a simple comparison.

Fire burning:

Fire burning is a method for early disposal of scrap copper wire, which is to take copper from the flammability of the plastic wire of scrap copper wire. Through the fire, the plastic of the outer layer of scrap copper wire is melted, and the remaining metal is the non-flammable metal. Although the method of burning copper is simple and quick, in the process of processing, the plastic raw materials are lost, and the recovery rate of scrap copper wire is greatly reduced. At the same time, a large amount of gas generated during combustion can pollute the environment.

Wet copper wire recycling machine:

Wet copper wire recycling machine mainly use water to get plastic off copper wire. After crushing, the waste copper wire will be into particles. Then because of the gravity difference between copper and plastic, the copper will be separated out after water processing.

Wet copper wire recycling machine is an old technology, the water after processing by this machine will produce a lot of waste water, How to deal with secondary pollution is still a difficult problem. The separated copper separated from wet copper wire recycling machine needs to be dried, otherwise it will rust and cause the price to drop. This shows that it is not the best way to get plastic off copper wire.

Process of copper wire granulator machine

Dry type copper wire granulator machine:

Copper wire granulator machine is used for recycling scrap cable wires to separated copper and plastic through shredding or crushing, air separation and electrostatic separation process, totally dry and physical separation method, without using fire, water or chemical, thus no secondary pollution to the environment. With the use of electrostatic separation technology, the separation rate of copper wire recycling machine could reach to almost 100% which you could see no copper in plastic and no plastic in copper.

Copper wire granulator machine

Through the above comparison, it is easy to see that the best way to get plastic off copper wire is using dry type copper wire granulator machine. In recent years, environmentally-friendly and efficient dry type copper wire granulator machine have been increasingly favored by domestic and foreign customers.
