Hello,no updates Iam still running the setup the same as seen in the videos which is water separation and then finish off with the vibrating.Thanks for your comment.

Well, I guess that answers my question. It's not a DIY granulator. You bought it somewhere to use for DIY granulation. Oh well. Off to search some more for how to make a diy granulator.

handheld XRF analyzer is what most scrap yards have to give them a way more breakdown of the materials contained in your recycled material

Freeze your wire/plugs to as cold as you can preferably 0 degrees or below. Then shred it right away should allow for the insulation to break apart easier for the separation

Well when you take cable in they cant see through pvc either & that can have tin wire inside. You could have some pvc with no wire inside, easy with stripping machine. Not that i would do that just saying.

Im an electrician in the UK and as you can imagine I get at least 1ton a year of insulated cable. Ive been thinking about investing in a granulator to get more value out of my scrap. A few people have told me that scrap yards will not accept granules untill you are a reputable cable recycling company. Where do you sell your granules and have you ever had any issues? Thanks on advance. Keep up the good work
@corsagafa9 ай бұрын
Hi,yes I have had some problems,the main reason being some yards are not setup to handle granules because they are too small and can easily "get lost".Also some yards will give you less money than you would get for number 1 bright because they dont know what is in your granules, maybe there could be some tinned wire or even some brass mixed in.Its just a case of building up a good relationship with your yard.The last time I weighed some in I used CF Boothe in Rotherham,hope this helps and thanks for your comment.

it would be hard to do because the granulator screen would have to have very small holes and I think they would get clogged up easily ,maybe you could granulate the plastic first and then use a sieve to separate the powder after.But ive never tried to make powder.

Hello Ken,yes it could be an alternative to a water system but I think it needs more development,at the moment the water system has a better yield.I like my fan to be separate from the vibration and movement.The next thing I want to try is,instead of using the noisy vibrating table,run the screen backwards and forwards on rollers powered by a recip saw and I think that would make it quieter.Have you got any suggestions for what you would like to see in future videos?

How does it work? Aren't the copper granulates and the plastic the same size?
@corsagafa2 жыл бұрын
Hello Kurt, I use a 2.5mm screen in the Granulator so we can say that the granules are from 0.2 mm to 2.5mm. This vibrating screen has now got a hole size of 1.5mm so any granules above 1.5mm will go back through my system. Also this vibrating screen has air blown up through the screen so imagine you have two granules the same size,one is plastic and one is copper. The copper granule will be heavier, the air blowing up through the holes will be strong enough to stop the plastic falling through the holes but the copper granule will be heavy enough to fall through the holes, also even if the plastic granule is bigger, it will have more surface area so it will be affected more by the air just like the wing on an airplane.Hope this helps and thanks for your question.

Hello Todd,most of the copper I do is from cars which is thin wire,so maybe my setup will not work as well on different sizes of wire?But my granulator screen size is 2.5mm and my vibrating screen size is 1.5mm.My advice is to watch as many videos as you can and keep asking questions to get as much info as you can.One thing is for sure! on my system is that all the different parts are like a team,all the members of the team play and work together and if they all work together,you will get a good result.You cant just expect one part of your team to play on there own and win.My team starts with the Granulator,water sluice,water filter,drying the copper and then the vibrating screen.hope this helps and your welcome to ask as many questions as you want.

Hello,Its not something I have tried but if they are both the same size the copper will be heavier so you could have a screen like this one I have that blows air up through the holes that is strong enough to stop the alluminium from falling through the holes but not strong enough to stop the copper from falling through the holes.The other way I have seen is with a fast moving conveyor belt and when the granules shoot of the end the heavier metal will "fly" further than the lighter metal.Thanks for your comment.
