Granulator/wire stripper help

When I say a nickel or dime a pound profit I mean for the people that already strip wire. There's no reason to turn away that business. You should get better than joe price at your yard. If not go elsewhere. As for granulation you should be able to get number 1 copper price. But most large scale granulators are expecting near bare bright price, which is my fault for categorizing you that way You should definitely be able to get number 1 price for clean chops.

Well now I feel a bit better

I was never expecting bare bright after granulation. I was just hoping for #1 and I'd be happy. Because my margins are fairly good (even if I match the big yards pricing for unstripped) I don't care if I don't get bright and shiny price. As long as I'm getting #1, I'm okay because the machine would do a lot more product than any number of strippers and save me from hiring a lot of people.

That type of wire, solid core, is the easiest stuff for me to strip. I wish I could buy that ALL day long. Now, if that machine did that to stranded wire, that would be something else.

If you find something that does that with stranded (10-14 gauge) let me know.
