Maybe there are many people not known about cable granulator and the usage of the cable granulator machine.
Optima supply professional and honest service.
Cable granulator machine is a machine that separates copper and plastic from waste cables, via the process of crushing and the principle of gravity separation to complete the whole process.
We recycle scrap cables to make money. There are many different machine and processing methods on the market. Which machine to choose is very important for us?
For scrap mixed cable and thin cable, copper wire recycling granulator machine is the best choice; for copper wire recycling, the purity of copper granules is an important factor to measure the value of copper wire recycling machine itself;
If you choose a poor quality copper granulator machine , may let your down and ruin your recycling career; if you choose a good quality copper cable granulator machine, you can not only make a lot of money, but also have a deeper understanding of this industry.
Therefore, understanding the principle of the machine and operating the copper granulator machine better will improve the purity of your copper granules to a certain extent and sell it at a better price.
Next, let us learn more about how cable granulator work.
Before we know more about copper wire recycling machine, we need to know the principle of cable granulator machine first:
The main working principle of the dry copper wire granulator machine is to separate the metal and plastic skins through the air separation system and small vibrating screen after crushing, directly obtain the metal copper granules and plastic granules.
Generally speaking, the copper granulator machine is composed of three parts: main crusher, air separator and small vibration table, these 3parts are essential and you also can configure different equipment according to the characteristics of waste cables.
First prepare the cables need to be crushed.
Classification according to different cable types, which will improve work efficiency.
Prepare three-phase power and connect it to the machine’s electrical box to power on the machine.
The sorted cables are evenly fed into the pre-shredding and broken into small pcs about 5~20CM.
These roughly crushed cables will go directly to the crusher through the conveyor belt
The scrap cables will be processed into fine copper-plastic mixed particles by the shredder,

These mixed particles are transported to the air separation device for the first separation through the conveyor belt.
Next, the copper particles and pvc particles that have passed through the air separation equipment will be transferred to the small vibrating bed respectively, for secondary separation through vibration, and finally you will get pure copper particles and plastic particles, as well as less amount of copper-plastic mixture.
A small amount of copper-plastic mixture can be put into the machine for re-separation.
Less amount of copper particles and plastic particles at the plastic end can be connected to electrostatic separator for secondary separation to achieve 100% copper recovery.
Copper wire granulators have become essential equipment for recycling companies, industries and individuals that deal with scrap copper wires and cables. These machines effectively recycle waste copper wire and cabels, help you save time and ensure maximum profits. If you’re considering investing in a copper wire granulator, you might have some doubts. Here, BSGH provides you with top 10 frequently asked questions and answers about copper wire granulators, the author has over 15 years of export and customer service experience, ensuring clear and insightful information:
Many people are curious about how BSGH Granulator works for separation. When using a copper wire granulator, first you need to crush the wire into a mixture. Afterward, we use the following 4 methods for separation: air separation, vibration, magnetic selection and electrostatic separation.
First, airflow separation system to segregate the shredded mixture. Copper and plastic granules are separated by air separation system according to their weight after the plastic and copper will collect in different outlets.
Then, small table vibrator is used for dual separation. Small table vibrations drain small and heavier copper particles to the next layer, whereas the bigger and lighter plastic particles are transported in the upper layer.
When wires have magnetic materials like steel and iron, a magnetic separation system is needed, This system is added above the copper outlet or frame above the conveyor belt to remove materials like iron in your wires. Magnetic particles are attracted to the magnetic surface, while non-magnetic particles remain unaffected and continue along their path.
To recycle more completely, you need to assemble the electrostatic separator for thin wires. Electrostatic separators are based on the principle of electrostatic attraction or repulsion to separate materials with varying of electrical conductivity.
Classified by diameter: Actually no, armored cables and wires with a diameter greater than 30mm are not recommended for processing, but several pcs are no problem, It’s important to note that cable granulator machines are not well-suited for armored cables or cables with larger diameters. We recommend processing wires diameters within 20mm to 30mm as a general guideline, for wires exceeding this diameter in large amounts, recommend to recycle by wire stripper machine.
Classified by cable types: Copper wire granulators are proficient in processing wires with diverse insulation materials like plastic, rubber, and PVC; and processing thin cables such as household wires, communication cables and industrial cables, especially mixed cable, complex cable and slim cable. They are suitable for wires that challenge for wire stripper machines, such as car wires, plug wires and wires.
Absolutely, you can adjust the size of copper rice through the types of mesh screen and the changes of processing parameters. BSGH granulator equipped with different crusher screens size, covering diameters of 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm or bigger, achieve the desired granularity for your copper granulation process, catering to diverse applications and requirements.
How long can the machine operate within a single day? This is a question that most people are curious about. Normally, the machine can work continuously as desired, however, to ensure a longer lifespan, we recommend about every 4 hours have a rest, workers also need to rest. For instance, if you activate the machine in the morning, power it off during lunch to allow for cooling and rest, then restart it in the afternoon, you can operate like this in one day. By following this, the machine will not only reduce maintenance costs but also have optimal performance.
For small quantities of recycling using small or medium-sized machines like BS-D75, BS-D20, BS-D30 and BS-D60, one person is enough. However, for larger capacity machines like BS-N130, ECO, BS-F and BS-F, it’s better to have 2 workers to ensure optimal recycling results, also, they just need to put the scrap wires on the conveyor belt and take away end products at regular intervals.
All our machines are designed with automatic operation. Normally, the worker just needs to learn how to operate the machine, the operation is simple and available for anyone.
The process of scrap wire crushing plays a crucial role in the copper wire granulator machine. Scrap wires must be shredded into a mixture by sharp blades before separation. It’s important to note that these blades have a limited lifespan due to continuous use. So how long should I change the blades? Several factors determine the longevity of the blades: the frequency of machine use and the types of raw materials processed significantly affect the blades’ lifespan.
1: When the blades become dull, they can be sharpened.
2: When there are crushed long wires, you can change or sharp blades.
3: When the separation effect is not good, you can change or sharpen blades.
4：When the knife edge can’t be sharpened, change it.
Because different machines have varying capacities, diverse technologies and incorporate various raw materials, etc., for different capacities, machine prices are not the same, the bigger the more expensive.
All bsgh granulators can be categorized into three types: large, medium, and small based on their capacity, all these machines adopt mature and most advanced technology, the best steel raw materials, in order to reach the best effect.
The more you understand your needs, the better you make your machine purchase decision.
