Small Cable Granulator and Separator

The Optima OTD50 is a small copper wire granulator and separator for electrical contractors, small scrap processors and workshops recovering copper from insulated wire offcuts. It combines cable granulation with density separation to produce copper and insulation fractions.

Cable granulator and separator,small structure,it grinds and separates rigid cables and flexible wires.
The most amazing innovation is, this is driven with single phase power 220V or 230V or 240V.

What Scrap Wire Can the OTD50 Process?

The OTD50 small copper wire granulator and separator processes insulated copper cable scrap, including rigid cables, flexible wires and automotive wiring. It cuts the cable and separates copper from plastic insulation, allowing you to recycle suitable wire without stripping each piece individually.

Start with your actual scrap: cable construction, diameter and attached components determine whether it can enter the machine directly or needs preparation.

Cable Types and Processing Size Limits

For a material assessment, provide the overall cable diameter including insulation and a clear cross-section photograph. For stranded conductors, include the individual copper strand diameter if available. These measurements help distinguish the cable’s external size from the copper inside.

Feeding Long Cables and Wire Harnesses

Long rigid lengths, coiled wire and assembled harnesses require different preparation checks. Show how your scrap arrives—including its typical length and whether it is loose, bundled or tangled—so that the feed preparation can be specified for your material.

For harnesses, identify plugs, metal terminals, clips, adhesive tape and outer sleeves separately. Processing automotive wire does not automatically mean that every attached component can pass through the same machine configuration.

Fine-Stranded Wire and Communication Cable

For fine-stranded wire, data cable or telephone cable, use a representative sample to evaluate copper–plastic separation before selecting the machine. Include the conductor material, strand size and insulation type, particularly when your scrap contains several different cable constructions.

The OTD50 is supplied with 2 mm and 2.5 mm screens. These dimensions describe screen openings; they do not specify the smallest copper strand the machine can recover.

Check Processing Capacity with Your Own Scrap

The OTD50 has a listed processing capacity of 20–50 kg/h. When planning your workload, distinguish the weight of incoming insulated wire from the weight of recovered copper.

Optima offers free scrap-material testing and can provide a machine test video. Send a sample representative of your normal feed and specify your required hourly processing quantity. Request a test record showing the material, preparation, feed weight, run time and separated outputs to evaluate whether the machine matches your recycling workload.

Suitable Cable Scrap

The OTD50 is intended for smaller volumes of insulated copper wire. Cable rigidity, conductor construction and attached materials matter alongside diameter.

For regularly higher processing volumes, compare the OTD300 copper cable granulator. For material requiring additional pre-treatment, explore our Cable Wire Recycling Line range.

How It Works

1. Input: Waste wire or cable is fed into the machine’s top entrance.

2. Shredding: The shredder reduces the wire to particles of 2mm to 3mm in size.

3. Separation: The specific gravity separation principle is used to separate copper from plastic. The materials are vibrated to separate based on their density, and the same-density particles exit from the same outlet, giving you clean copper and plastic particles.

Application

This Small Copper Granulator is perfect for small-scale recycling operations, including:

• Electricians with small amounts of wire to recycle

• Hobbyists or DIY enthusiasts working with small cables

• Recyclers looking to process waste copper wire efficiently without requiring large equipment or excessive space

Its compact size and affordable price make it ideal for individuals or small businesses in need of a copper wire separator that’s easy to operate and maintain.

Small Copper Granulator Features

• Low Power Consumption: The machine’s main motor uses only 3kW of power, making it highly energy-efficient.

• Single-Phase Electricity: No need for industrial-grade electrical systems – operates on standard household electricity (220V-240V).

• Compact Design: Small footprint and portable, this machine is ideal for small workspaces or mobile operations.

• Versatile: Capable of processing both rigid cables (up to 10mm) and flexible wires (up to 15mm).

Advantages of Optima Cable Granulator

1. Italian Engineering: The system uses a single-shaft shredder for pre-shredding, offering reliable and efficient processing.

• Induction feeding technology enhances solid material crushing.

• Lower maintenance costs compared to double-shaft systems.

• Three control modes: Manual, automatic, and pulse pushing, for flexibility in different materials.

• Optional sieves for customized material size.

2. Two-Stage Dust Removal: Dual-stage dust filtration effectively separates most dust via a cyclone, protecting the system and extending the life of the dust bag.

3. German-Designed Crusher:

• Rotor and blade structure optimized for wire cutting.

• Adjustable blade gap to minimize copper loss.

• Hydraulically controlled crusher opening for ease of operation.

4. Italian Technology in Vibrating Screen:

• Vibration optimization ensures stability and reduced machine wear.

• Filtration technology in the air inlet to extend the screen’s lifespan.

• Quick and easy screen replacement, with a unique weaving process that prevents copper clogging.

FAQ about Optima Cable Wire Recycling Machine

Q1: How do I know the quality of your machine?

A: You can send your sample scrap materials to us and we will test the machine for you without charging the fees. And we can send the machine test video to you. We also warmly Q2:welcome you to visit our factory to test our machine personally.

Can I use the OTD50 to separate copper from aluminum?

Separating metal from insulation does not automatically separate copper from aluminum. Identify any mixed conductor metals before ordering so we can assess the required process and acceptable output.

Q3:Which country have you exported to?
A: Russia,France,New Zealand,Thailand,India,Mexico,Chile,Algeria,etc.

Q4: How long is your after-sale service ?

A: We provide 12 months warranty from the date of installation.
