Introducción
In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, humans have developed and used metals in nature at an increasingly higher level which are used in all walks of life, from construction, and manufacturing to the energy field and so on. Metal can also be damaged and aged, so a large amount of scrap metal is produced. How to make good use of this resource has dual significance for economic development and environmental protection. This article mainly introduces how much copper can be recycled using copper wire recycling machine and how much economic benefits this industry can bring to you?
How much copper can be recycled?
The copper content obtained within a certain time is mainly related to two factors: one is the copper content in the waste wire, and the other one is the processing capacity and efficiency of the copper wire granulator machine. These two factors work together to determine how much copper can be got in the end.
The content and quality of copper
The copper content contained in different cables are not the same. The most accurate way to estimate the copper content is to take a meter of cable, then calculate the cross-sectional area of copper in scrap wires, finally, you can use the formula to calculate the result:
1M copper content = density of copper * cross section * one meter.
We also listed the copper content of commonly used wires for your reference.
| Tipo de cable | Copper Percentage(%) |
|---|---|
| Square wire (1.5 Square) | 60~63 |
| Square wire(2.5~4 Square) | 60~70 |
| Network cable | 40~50 |
| Communication wire | 60~73 |
| Car wire | 50~58 |
| Motorcycle wire | 30~33 |
| Rubber wire | 28~30 |
| Household plug wire | 15~30 |
| Electric vehicle cable | 28~30 |
It is shown that the smaller the cable cross-section, the lower the copper percentage contained. If the cable is made of a copper-clad aluminum composite structure, the copper content depends on its diameter.
The efficiency and processing capacity of copper wire granulator machine
The higher the throughput and the faster the processing speed of the machine, the more copper it will recycle. BSGH Granulator machines are available in various models with different processing capacities. It can be mainly divided into three capacities: large, medium and small. Our large wire recycling machines, such as most of the N series copper wire granulators, have a processing efficiency of 700KG/H~2T/H. The medium-sized wire recycling machines, mainly Serie D, have a production capacity of 300KG/H~700KG/H. The processing capacity of Maquina granuladora pequeña es 50KG/H~300KG/H.
Each machine is fully automated, and even faced with different processing needs, it can process waste wires quickly and efficiently and also get high-quality copper products in a short time.
How much can we earn from waste wires?
The price of recycled copper is affected by many factors, such as: type, purity, market demand and different machines the customers use.
The types of copper
Different types of copper have different prices. The most commonly used material in the manufacture of cable copper wires is high-purity electrolytic copper, whose purity can reach more than 99.95%. This copper material has high conductivity and good plasticity It can be used to manufacture wires of various specifications and shapes, and is widely used in fields such as power and communication transmission. its price is relatively high. Red copper also known as brass is an alloy material containing about 20%-40% zinc and a small amount of other elements. Its conductivity is lower than that of high-purity electrolytic copper, but it has higher strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in the manufacture of ordinary cables and communication wires. It also has a great price. Copper-clad aluminum means aluminum on the inside and copper on the outside. Mainly used in thin wires such as BVR, the price is about ¥35/kg, the price is relatively cheap.
The purity of copper product
The higher the purity of copper, the more expensive it is. BSGH Granulator constantly updates our technology and adopts high technology to recycle copper. We have eliminated the high-pressure separation devices previously on the market and use separadores de aire y vibrating tables to recover copper. Not only that, we also have separadores electrostáticos to separate wires as thin as hair and some difficult-to-process miscellaneous wires. These devices can enhance the purity and efficiency of recycled copper. The purity can reach 99.99%.
The demand of copper
The world’s copper resource situation is actually not optimistic. The existing copper metal cannot meet the needs of various industries, so the recycling of scrap metal is particularly important. In recent years, many countries have continued to increase their support for related industries. Therefore, participating in this industry is in line with the trend of the times and caters to national policies, which will definitely bring considerable economic benefits.
