Copper Wire Scrap

Description

Collection:

1. Collection Centers: ALAMAK establishes collection centers at various locations to gather copper wire waste from industrial sources, construction sites, and electrical contractors.

2. Sorting: The collected copper wire is sorted based on its thickness, quality, and type (e.g., bare, insulated).

3. Quality Control: A team of experts ensures that only high-quality copper wire suitable for recycling is accepted.

Recycling Process:

1. Shredding: The sorted copper wire is fed into shredding machines that break it down into smaller pieces for further processing.

2. Separation: Through mechanical and electromagnetic separation techniques, the copper wire is separated from other materials, such as insulation or plastic coating.

3. Granulation: The separated copper wire is granulated into small particles to enhance the efficiency of subsequent processing steps.

4. Chemical Stripping: If the copper wire is insulated, it undergoes a chemical stripping process to remove the insulation material.

5. Melting and Purification: The stripped or granulated copper wire is melted in high-temperature furnaces to remove impurities and achieve a high level of purity.

6. Casting: The molten copper is cast into ingots or other desired forms, ready for further processing or sale.
