How to recycle waste wires and cables?

A large number of wires and cables are scrapped every year, and these wires and cables have high recycling value. The copper in it is a non-ferrous metal, and its price is relatively stable. As long as there is no problem in the global environment, its price will not fluctuate too much. The plasticity of copper is very good, and almost all scrap copper can be recycled and sold after secondary processing, which can generate high returns. Although the liquidity of copper is not as good as that of gold and silver, it does not worry about sales. As long as the goods can be received, they will definitely be sold. So how to recycle waste wires and cables?

1. Manual peeling method: By manual method, the outer sheath of the waste wire and cable is peeled off to obtain the copper and plastic inside. The copper and plastic produced by this method can be sold for a good price, but the labor cost is relatively large. In today's society, prices are rising, and labor costs are also increasing, so the investment is large, and it is only suitable for a small amount of wire and cable processing;

2. Incineration treatment: Use the flammable characteristics of the wire sheath to ignite the waste wire and cable, and recover the copper inside. But this method has two drawbacks, one is that it will generate harmful gas, which will seriously pollute the air; the other is that the surface of the copper wire is seriously oxidized, which reduces the recovery rate. In the era of global enforcement of environmental protection, it is completely prohibited;

3. Chemical method: The waste wires and cables are immersed mainly through chemical potions, thereby decomposing copper. However, this method has high cost and large pollution, and is not really applied;

4. Freezing method: Use refrigerant liquid nitrogen to freeze the waste wire and cable, so that the wire and cable become brittle at low temperature, and then break and vibrate to separate the copper and the outer skin. The cost of this method is high, it cannot be operated on a large scale, and there is no capital invested in specific manufacturing;

5. Mechanical processing: separate copper and plastic through waste wire and cable processing equipment. This method not only combines the advantages of the previous methods, is efficient and high-yield, but also has a wide range of availability and can handle various types of wires and cables. If the raw material is a very thick and long wire and cable, you can first use a wire stripper to separate the outer skin, or use a shredder to tear it into strips, and then process it through an automatic copper rice machine. The scrap copper wire enters the pulverizer from the conveyor, and the scrap copper wire is pulverized, and then transported to the next process by the conveyor. The copper and plastic are separated out by the specific gravity sorter and vibrating screen, and finally pure copper and plastic are obtained. The purity can reach 99%, and it can definitely sell for a good price.
