How To Judge The Quality Of A Cable Recycling Machine

1. Sorting Accuracy and Recovery Rate

Copper granule purity ≥99% and residual copper content in plastics ≤1% are hallmarks of high-quality equipment.

Models employing an airflow + electrostatic composite sorting system are more efficient than single airflow sorting systems, significantly improving metal recovery rates.

You can request actual production videos or on-site trial runs from the manufacturer to observe whether the material separation at the outlet is clear and free of impurities.

2. Processing Capacity and Operational Stability
High-quality equipment should have continuous operation capability, with a stable hourly processing capacity of over 90% of the nominal value (e.g., nominal 500 kg/h, actual measured capacity not less than 450 kg/h).

Core components such as the cutter shaft, motor, and bearings must use industrial-grade configurations, supporting 24-hour operation without overheating or abnormal vibration.

3. Environmental Protection and Safety Design
The system must be fully enclosed with a pulse-jet bag filter to ensure dust emission concentration ≤20mg/m³, complying with GB 16297-1996 atmospheric emission standards.

It operates without open flames, wastewater, or incineration, employing a dry recycling process to mitigate environmental enforcement risks.

The equipment should be equipped with emergency stop buttons, overload protection, and protective covers to ensure operator safety.

4. Core Component Materials and Durability

Blade Material: High-chromium alloy steel or carbide blades are preferred, offering high wear resistance and a lifespan of 3–6 months.

Screen and Duct Design: Adjustable airflow and multi-stage screening structure accommodate cables of different diameters, reducing the probability of clogging.

The entire frame should be constructed of thickened welded steel, rust-proof and corrosion-resistant, suitable for long-term high-load operation.

5. Automation and Ease of Operation: Equipped with a PLC intelligent control system, enabling one-button start, automatic feeding, and fault alarms, reducing the technical requirements for operators.

The human-machine interface is clear, and parameters are adjustable, facilitating optimized operation based on different raw materials.

6. Manufacturer Strength and After-Sales Support: Choose brands with physical factories, technical teams, and after-sales service networks to avoid "OEM" or "shell companies."

Reputable manufacturers provide free installation and commissioning, operation training, a one-year warranty, and rapid response to maintenance needs.
