Been trying for months to find a price , or a use one , can’t find none . Do u sell parts ?? Or ever think about selling in “ kit “ form . ? Repossessed.???? How can I pay less ???
Do you run chopped acr material over a magnet? Ahem, I know one or two srews or (corroded/rusted) steel bits gets into every 200lbs of acr I bring in to yard.
I never measured the PSI on the deck itself, but depending on the model the horsepower blower ranges from 1 HP up to 10 HP, ranging from 1,000 to over 5,000 CFM
Awesome! An explanation of not only cyclones, but video production too! Thank you! Just yesterday I thought it would be good for me to review how cyclones work, and lately, I've been thinking it through in my mind how to prevent the product from interacting with the impeller(s). So this was super timely!
I used to work at a rubber recycling plant turned tires into lil pellets then machine bagged by the ton . Recycling is somewhat lucritive wire is worth alot more these days .
50/50 or 70/30 It’s simple mathematics you cut 12” off of the copper wire you plan on stripping weigh it then remove the insulation off that piece and weigh the insulation. If the insulation weighs more then 30% leave it on. Btw stripping anything under #8 AWG isn’t worth my time.
If it's worth your time to strip wire, it most likely means it doesn't belong to you. If you own the wire you probably have different plans for it that IS worth your time.
That's a good question, and that depends on how the material is being prepped and what your expectations are for the finished product. If your goal is to process everything together including the fuse boxes and the ends, then the Vertical Mill is the better option. If you're goal is to have the cleanest chops, and you will run material separate from the fuse boxes, then the granulator makes more sense. The granulator tends to keep the strands in little slivers, whereas the vertical mill tends to roll the copper into a flat swirl. If you put a screener after the granulator, it is easier to screen out any brass flakes, making the output copper cleaner.
Great video, thank you! I have about a dozen questions, but I'll save most of them for now until I get in touch with you! But just one or two if you don't mind: What would you estimate the pounds or tons in a shift (8 hrs) all things considered, or per hour of running time? How many HP is the granulator please? They plan to run only clean, or will you still add a magnet? I appreciate your time!
Thank you for your questions! It's a 40 horsepower granulator, a 60 horsepower Shredder. I'm still unsure of the capacity per hour since it's the first time that we set this line in this exact configuration for this application. I'll wait a few weeks until we have some time data. Hopefully I have the answer by the time we talk on the phone!
That's correct, approximately 48% copper, 50% aluminum and the rest is waste. (dust/fluff, oxidation) in coastal areas where the aluminum oxidizes more, the copper recovery is higher because a lot of the aluminum weight has already disappeared

Happy Friday! Thanks for another great video! Do you ever consult on the industry (for a fee) for someone starting out in processing, I mean separate from answering questions about the machinery you offer? And if you answer yes, whom would I ask for or write to? Also, if I want machinery quotes, would you do that, as well as tell me what pieces would make up a processing line, depending on the material? (as part of your normal sales process?) Thanks!
Thank you for you comment! Yes, we do offer this service, Please call the office and leave a message for me,(Josh) or email info@cablemanagementusa.com with your contact details and I will reach out to you.
They all will work the same, it really depends on how many lbs/hr you want to achieve. For auto harness wire. We typically would add a small automated powder feeder that will introduce lime or talcum. To neutralize the grease and sticky tape from the harness.
Olá! Gostei da explicação no meu caso o que mais impacta é o fio 2 pois da muito mão de obra pra cortar aqueles que tem baixo cobre . Uma pergunta ❓ Chicote de carro quando tritura vc chega corta os conectores de metais ou faz tudo junto.
The wires get chopped all together with the insulation still on it. Once it goes over the separation table, that separates the Copper granules from the insulation.
I just use my angle grinder or my sawzall when I'm processing copper tubing. I do it as it comes in, instead of waiting until I have a box full. But I'm just a small guy and the cost of labor is not a factor so I can understand why big companies don't do it.
You can also use an old crappy wood chop saw. Just use a carbide blade. Which are cheap these days. It goes through copper pipe like butter. Just make sure to use eye protection.
