Scrap Copper Wire Recovery and Cable Reclamation
The recycling process for insulated copper is dependent upon the length and gauge of the copper wire.
Wire stripping and wire chopping are the two common processes to recover copper and other materials.
Alternatively the terms cable stripping and cable chopping may be used.
Wire / Cable Stripping
Recovering clean copper from longer lengths of heavier gauge insulated wire scrap can be done by stripping or peeling the insulation from the wire.
Wire / Cable Chopping
Wire Granulation Systems are needed for the recovery of clean copper nodule from light gauge wire, odd lengths or tangled wires. The scrap wires are chopped into small pieces and the insulation can be mechanically separated from the wire.
