A right machine to process copper wire scrap - Page 2

That and the speed of the operator, and the no use of personal protection at all...

The factory I read about in China that scraps just Christmas decoration lights, its in a area that has a lot of factory's doing the exact same thing.
The reason why is because 'they can sell the plastic chop to shoe manufacturers'.
And if that's the reason the profit margin must be quite small.

But having a small setup at home could be worth doing as it upgrades low price scrap up to Copper #2 (or #1?)prices.
Like this guys car wiring looms.



Making the chopper seems to be the hardest part with machining having to be done. I have a small electric hand planer for wood, I wonder if that's a good start?

The wire it can process is within 1-20 mm. The range of the largest model is 1-40 mm. You can judge by what we show,not by guess. The copper wire granulator is applicable for various wires including Auto Electric Wire, Motorcycle Electric Wire, Computer Wire and other various miscellaneous material cables, Communication cables etc. As for protection, the worker in China may think it is normal. Of course, in those developed countries, they may think it is a little dangerous, if they like, they can choose some other measures. We respect people in different countries' worry and like to provide extra help.
