hello
I was wondering if a granulator made for plastic (Conair NCF-824)
Would work to chop wire. I really don't see why it wouldn't work.
If anyone has experience with something similar, I'd love to hear your
opinion. TY

Would that be something you already own? At a $12,000 cost, I would think that you might be able to find the right machine for the job.
An automatic stripper is fairly cheap, and a lot less of a headache ...

This is actually pretty neat. Be interesting to see how much they want when they become available.Quote:

If I ever get the chance to test out a granulator I intend to bring the biggest nest of crap wire and see how it handles that. I have had a couple of conversations with a guy who had several granulators and water tables for separating. He said there are several obstacles to overcome. You need steady supply of wire. It needs to be consistent in quality, he said sometimes you get a lot of trash hidden under the good wire.
One thought I've had is if you could come up with a good source for just the plug ends that would work 73, Mike
An industrial strength granulator is going to set you back $40,000 +

What's the story with granulated Tinned Copper wire?
Do they want the 'Clean Copper Granules' separated from the 'Tinned Copper Granules'?. Would there be a price difference?
I was thinking,, but depending on your volume of Copper wire, that a granulator would be perfect for 'Shielded Copper cables' with the tinned copper, while some sort of other stripper might be best for clean copper wire.
Or just do them in seperate granulator batches. (?)
