What is the copper wire?
Copper wire is widely popular in our daily life. From electric wire, power wire to communication wire and data wire, you can find it easily. But the accumulation of abandoned copper wire post a potential fire hazard can bring harmful effects on nature and human beings. A specialist field of copper wire recycling is therefore in strong demand, and a copper wire shredder is must-have equipment in the recycling process.
Why recycle copper wire?
Most wires consist of a metal conductor inner housed in plastic insulation. The most common metals used in wires are copper. Approximately 60 to 80% of the weight of wires comes from the metal contained inside it. Also, the main driving force to recycle wire waste is to recover the valuable metal portion. Copper is a non-renewable metal whose exploitation incurs serious environmental effects. When recycled these metals don’t degrade which means they can be recycled indefinitely.
Copper wire recycling process
The decisive step in copper wire recycling processes is the possible entire separation of the copper fraction from the plastic insulation. A typical scrap copper wire recycling line consists of a combination of different shredders, granulators for material reduction and disintegration, as well as separate lines for separating copper from the plastic part. The reclaimed copper and plastic are then melted and reused in making new products. So copper wire shredder plays an important role in the successful recycling of copper wires.
