This is some good info. Thanks.
To those of you that are operating
granulators... Are you buying the insulated wire "as is" from other dealers and estimating the recovery? Or are you chopping and then charging a chop fee, cents per lb. or something like that, and then buying the recovered copper from the customer/dealer? I'm sure some are doing both as the guys we sell our insulated to are doing this with us. What is the best way to handle this?
We are considering getting into this because we are tired of baling the insulated and sending it off to a chopper- we are fairly certain that the chopper is getting the better end of the deal $. We probably purchase about 100,000 lbs of No 1 insulated a year so would need to step that up to justify a
granulator--buy from other local dealers, etc. Thinking about one of the smaller/medium sized hand feed MG systems (500 lbs/hr)... Anyone have any info on those systmens or other manufacturers? How much electricity does a small/medium sized sytsem use? Any info is appreciated. Good, Bad, Ugly...
Thanks in advance.
