What Is The Working Principle Of The Centrifugal Copper Wire Separator?

1. Structural composition
The centrifugal copper wire separator is mainly composed of a feeding device, a high-speed rotating component (such as a drum or a turntable), a shell, a discharge port and other parts.
2. Working process
Feeding: The waste wires are put into the feeding device, and usually undergo preliminary cutting or crushing to make the wires smaller segments or particles so that they can better enter the separator.
High-speed rotation: The material enters a high-speed rotating component, such as a drum or a turntable. This rotating component rotates at an extremely high speed, generating a strong centrifugal force.
Separation effect:
Due to the different densities of the copper wire and the plastic sheath, under the action of centrifugal force, the copper wire with a higher density will be thrown to the periphery of the rotating component, while the plastic sheath with a lower density will be close to the center of rotation.
As the rotation continues, the copper wire and the plastic sheath gradually separate and move in different directions.
Discharge: The separated copper wire and plastic sheath are discharged from the separator through different discharge ports. The copper wire is usually discharged from the discharge port on the periphery, while the plastic sheath is discharged from the discharge port close to the center.
