    Key Steps For Copper Recycling

    Key Steps For Copper Recycling
    Step 1: Collection
    Copper collecting is the first step for recycling. You can collect copper wire , copper cable and other tinny spare parts at home. For large items containing copper, such as old appliances or scrap vehicles, you can contact your local recycling center to make arrangements to have them collected.

    Step 2: Sorting&Stripping/Granulator
    The copper parts can be sorted according to many ways such as the processing methods. According to world market analysis, the main machines for recycling copper in physical way, you can choose a copper stripping machine or copper granulator. These two machines have their own unique features and advantages. You can sort the copper items according to the type of wire or cable. If the copper items are single wire with less knots, you can just choose the wire stripping machine. If the copper items are complicated copper cables with winding knots and multiple stands, then they can be processed by the copper granulator.

    Step 3: Shredding & Melting
    If the copper items processed by copper granulator, the pure copper can be collected and packed to be further processed. While copper items stripped by the wire stripping machine needs to be shredded before packing. Because the entire copper wire is not so convenient to be transported to the melting device. When the copper reach the smelting facilities, the bales are fed into a furnace where they are heated until they become molten copper. The molten metal is then poured into casters or molds to form items needed.

    Step 4: Cooling& Fabrication
    Once the metal ingots have cooled and hardened, they are put into a machine that rolls them into smooth sheets, which form the basis for new metal materials.
