What is an armoured cable shredding recycling line?
An armored cable recycling line is purpose-built to process cables reinforced with steel tape or heavy wire mesh—materials that easily jam or destroy standard recycling equipment. Although these metal armor layers protect critical conductors in the field, they create a severe processing bottleneck for scrapyards. Our advanced armored cable shredding recycling line solves this challenge through dual-stage shredding with precision air, magnetic, and vibration separation—thoroughly isolate steel armor, plastic insulation, and copper or aluminum core. Reaching up to 100% purity, this fully automated production line minimizes manual labor, maximizes material recovery, and ensures the highest ROI on every kilogram of heavy-duty armored scrap.
Heavy-duty armoured cable shredding recycling line
Due to steel-reinforced structure of armored cables, traditional processing methods often struggle with rapid blade wear, high downtime, and incomplete metal recovery. To efficiently solve these industry pain points, our R&D team has specially designed this production line to deliver maximum processing capacity and unmatched ROI:
- Modular design allows for assmebling Magnetabscheider, conveyor belt etc. to optimize your real production.
- Dual-stage shredding processes for complete crushing, making size reduction finer.
- Multi-stage separation covering airflow and vibrating etc., completely isolates the steel armor and plastic jackets, achieving over 99.9% separation rate.
- From structural layout to specific color requirement, the entire system supports customization for your business needs.
Industrial armoured cable shredding recycling line for sale
The industrial armoured cable shredding recycling line from BSGH Granulator effortlessly handles maximum 120mm armored cables with 3T/H capacity, but we are commited to providing the right solution, not the biggest one. If you are processing smaller-diameter cables or running a small or medium daily throughput, there is no need to invest larger equipment, thereby we have engineered multiple-scale configurations. From highly cost-effective choice to powerful industrial-grade configurations, explore our 6 custom models below to find best that perfectly fits your business.
Entry-Level Compact Configuration:

- Ideal For: Comprehensive recycling centers mainly process standard scrap cables (requiring processing capacity to 2 tons/h), but occasionally handle smaller quantities of armored cables as well.
Best Selling Flagship Line:
- Structure: BS-DB1400 Single-Shaft Shredder + BS-A1100
- Total Power: About 260 KW
- Output: 1.5 – 2 T/H
- Why is our Best-Seller: Single shaft shredder handles armored cables at 2 tons per hour, perfectly matching BS-A1100’s maximum processing capacity, eliminating processing bottlenecks and material jams. Then 110 KW secondary crusher easily shears shredded material down, finally 18 KW multi-stage separation system isolates pure copper with zero loss. Thus, this configuration guarantees a continuously smooth, highly profitable workflow.
- Ideal For: Large-scale recycling centers and professional buyers who expect high-efficiency operations, top-tier material purity and zero downtime.
Ultimate Industrial Line:

Working process of the armoured cable shredding recycling line
Our cable shredding recycling line can efficiently recycle armored cables through the following steps. You can click on the video to check the machine working details.
1. Armor cable chopper machine initially shreds the armored cables with strong shearing and tearing forces can easily reduce the armored cables to manageable sizes.
2. Conveyor belt conveys the initially shredded scrap wire to the main crusher. At the same time, the belt magnetic separator installed on the conveyor belt removes all the iron in the cable.
3. Main crusher crushes the scrap wire into 3-5mm copper and plastic mixed particles.
4. Two air separators use the air and difference in weight of the two materials to separate them, extracting the copper particles from the plastic insulation layer.
5. Vibrating tables secondary separate the mixed particles. Finally, you will get 100% pure copper particles, iron, and plastic insulation layers, all of which can be recycled or sold directly at a high price.
