WANROOETECH PNCR series cable wire recycling machine is a complete copper and aluminum recovery system designed to crush and sort used cables, separating metal and plastic with exceptional purity. This waste cable wire recycling equipment processes waste automobile wires, car bottom wires, motorcycle wires, computer wires, and communication cables. The system configuration can be adjusted according to different material types and processing capacity requirements, achieving metal and plastic separation purity as high as 99.9%. Featuring PLC intelligent control, the cable wire recycling granulator operates with high automation, delivering strong processing capabilities with simplified processes and reduced operating costs. With 20 years of experience in recycling technology, WANROOETECH has developed a one-stop solution for large-scale cable recycling scenarios that combines efficiency, intelligence, and environmental protection.

What’s in the waste cable that could be recycled?

Cable wires are composed of internal metal and external plastic. Recycling cables can separate metal and plastic. After recycling, copper, aluminum and plastic particles can be obtained.

What types of cable wires could be recycled?

WANROOETECH PNCR series cable wire recycling machine can recycle hair wire, harness wire, communication wire, installation wire, power cables with copper or aluminum conductors, copper wire, ACSR-wire and mixed household wire.

How do we recycle cable wires?

The waste cables or wires will become plastic pellets and copper particles after been crushed. The mixed will jump and move ahead like wave type on the vibrating screen mesh surface. With airflow function and screen box straight shock excitation, the sheath and core will be separated, and get copper particles, plastic pellets and mixture from different outlet areas.

Cable Wire Recycling Granulator Components:

1. Cable Wire Recycling Shredder( Single Shaft Shredder)
Function: Primary size reduction of cable bundles and thick power cables
Cutter Material: LD material cutters featuring high hardness and strong wear resistance
Why This Matters: Cable wires often contain steel reinforcement and tough insulation materials. The high-hardness LD cutters maintain sharpness longer than standard steel blades, reducing maintenance frequency and ensuring consistent shredding performance.

2. Magnetic Separator
Function: Removal of ferrous metal contaminants from shredded cable material
Performance: Metal removal rate reaches 99.7%
Why This Stage Is Critical: Steel armor, iron binding wires, and other ferrous contaminants must be removed before granulation to protect the precision cutting tools and prevent contamination of the final copper product

3.Cable Wire Copper Crusher Granulator
Function: Fine crushing of shredded wires into separation-ready particles
Output Size: 2-5mm mixed particles
Key Design Features:

Specially designed chip cutter shaft handles different wire and cable types with a single tooling configuration

Split box design provides convenient access for maintenance and blade replacement

Strong impact resistance construction withstands the forces of crushing tough insulation materials

Large-size external rotor bearings prevent damage from material movement and vibration

High-precision machining of rotor and box liner ensures tight tolerances for efficient cutting action

Replaceable liner design extends machine life and reduces long-term operating costs

4. Air flow separator
Function: Primary density-based separation of metal and plastic particles
Separation Principle: Materials are sorted according to their different densities and aerodynamic characteristics
Purity Achievement: Up to 99.5% separation purity
How It Works: The crushed material passes through a material equalizing plate in the cabinet and is automatically and uniformly scattered on the sintering screen plate. The screen performs reciprocating vibration while upward airflow lifts lighter materials. Due to specific gravity differences, materials automatically classify: light plastic particles move downward while heavy copper and aluminum particles move upward. The airflow sorting machine divides the crushed material into two main fractions: concentrated copper plus a small amount of mixed material, and clean plastic pellets.

5. Electrostatic Separator:
Function: Final purification of mixed fractions to achieve maximum separation purity
Technology: High-voltage electrostatic separation using corona discharge principle
Components: High-voltage electrostatic generator, frame, insulation board, conveyor belt, driving wheel, rotating wheel, recycling board, discharge electrode, and metal protective net
How It Works: Two plates are placed close together with high voltage applied between them. This high voltage creates a corona discharge that ionizes particles passing through the field. Conductive metal particles respond differently to the electrostatic field than non-conductive plastic particles, enabling precise final separation.
Result: Achieves the final 99.9% metal-plastic separation purity that meets direct-sale market standards.

6. Pulse Dust Collector:

Function: Comprehensive dust purification and environmental protection
How It Works: Dusty gas enters the ash hopper through the gas inlet. Rapid gas volume expansion causes coarse dust grains to fall into the ash hopper through inertia, while fine dust grains rise into the filter-bag chamber with the airflow. The exhaust gas passes through the filter bags where pulse cleaning action removes dust particles. Purified air is then discharged into the atmosphere.
Benefits: Ensures dust-free production environment, protects worker health, maintains clean facility conditions, and complies with environmental regulations.
