Superior Wire Stripping Machine Introduction

Wire stripping machine includes computer wire stripping machine, laser wire stripping machine and other types of stripping machines. Here we will have a brief introduction on our superior wire stripping machine.
1. Our superior wire stripping machine

Our superior wire stripping machine uses a powerful machine to strip the insulated wire, which is a new application in materials processing.  Traditional wire stripping is done by a wire stripper or knife. And the mass production of the instruments industry always applies the automation mechanical peeling machine. But it will damage the metal wire core in some degree, because jaw contacting wire will cause a certain extrusion and working angles. If jaw does not contact the wire, the insulator will not be stripped clean. And it is will be more difficult to strip the multi-layer artificial silk spinning fabric insulator. But our superior wire stripping machine can get rid of these disadvantages.
2. Application materials
The application materials can be polyvinyl chloride, fiberglass, polyester, polyester PET film, fluoride, nylon, polyethylene, silicon resin, and other different high temperature insulation etc.
3. Industry applications
The wire stripper machine can strip the internal cable of the microelectronics industry products such as cell phone, laptop, video camera, digital camera etc. And it can strip solid wire, twin wire, double glue wire, winding displacement, multilayer line, fiber optic cable coaxial cable and so on, especially suiting the small data line under 0.5mm.

How to Scrap an Air Conditioner

When an old air conditioner stops working completely, it needs to be disposed of properly. An air conditioner is a great source of recyclable materials, such as copper aluminum coils and electronic motors. The shell, grill, screws and the fan are all worth money. Taking it apart and then selling the parts as scrap can help you get the most value.

Free the Freon
AC units contain Freon, a substance which is ozone-depleting. Before taking apart an air conditioner, all Freon must be removed. It is illegal to vent Freon out into the environment. Freon must be removed by a licensed technician. 


Scrap Compressors And Scrap Sealed Units
Sealed units and compressors are the black spheroids which are a thick layer of steel plate, inside of which is the motor for compressing the working fluids. To open the sealed units, first you should let all of the compressor oil drain out. Then hold the unit in a vice and use an angle grinder to cut it open. The motor can be scrapped by using a motor stator recycling machine, which extracts the copper winding from the motor.

Scrap Radiators
Most radiators in air conditioners are copper-aluminum. , i.e. they have aluminum fins with copper tubes. Larger AC unit has a larger radiator which is more valuable. 
An scrap radiator with the steel on is dirty fins. It needs to be cleaned before it can be sold or recycled. This means to remove any steel plates from the ends, which can be done by using a chisel, circular saw or band saw. By doing so, individuals can get the best prices for the radiator. It is also necessary to remove the steel contamination before the radiator can be put into a radiator separating machine for recycling.

Scrap Copper Lines
Besides those in the radiators, there are also many copper lines in other parts of the air conditioner. Cut the copper lines out using a bolt cutter or a pair of copper wire cutter. And before that, prepare a oil pan to collect the compressor oil left in the copper lines. To get the best price, home owners shall cut out any soldered joints prior to selling them to the recycling center or scrap yard.  


Fan Motor
Fan motor is usually behind the fins of the air conditioner. To remove the motor, loosen the setscrews to pull the fan blade off the motor shaft. 


Radiator Recycling Machine
Radiator recycling machine is meant for recycling scrap air conditioning radiators. It separates copper pipe with aluminum fins with no damage to the copper, which maximum your profit. Meanwhile, the machine is a compact one and takes up small area. It is quite economical to buy a radiator recycling machine for recycling copper-aluminum radiator.

Is It Worth Building a Tire Recycling Plant

Tire Scrap Problem is Becoming Urgent...

Nowadays, whether in developed or developing country, more and more individuals or families choose to buy a car or more because of the improved economic ability and cheaper price of the vehicle. Correspondingly, tire scrap has been increasing greatly. Worldwide more than 3 billion tires are dumped every year. In the USA, tires are scrapped at a rate of 1.1 tire/person/year leading to over 300 million tires scrapped per year. The condition in other developed countries is not far better. In Canada, about 26 million tires are sold each year and equivalent number is generated as used tires. Every day in UK, over 100,000 worn tyres are taken off cars, vans and trucks. In China, over ten millions of tire scrap is generated every year. We can vividly feel it from the world’s biggest tyre graveyard in Kuwaiti.

Tire Recycling Market is Promising...

At the same time, scrap tires present a unique recycling and disposal challenges because they are heavy, bulky and made from a variety of materials. How to make proper use of tire scrap is becoming a urgent problem for many countries. What are the present recycling ways? Generally speaking, there are three main ways to recycle tire scrap, that is, tire-derived fuel, ground rubber application and civil engineering. In the first application, burning tires release a compound, namely pyroloytic oil, which can be used as a cleaner and more economical alternative to coal as fuel in paper mills, industrial boiler,etc. Ground rubber application include new rubber products, playground and other sports surfacing and rubber -modified asphalt. As for civil engineering, these tire scrap are usually shred and then used in road and landfill construction, septic tank leach fields, etc.

Among these three ways, even though incineration can help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and keep scrap tires out of landfills. It is far from ideal because of its inefficiency and emission problem.Compared with the other applications, tire crumb is better at present. For those who want to start tire recycling business, they may worry about its market. In fact, the recycled rubber is widely used in many fields like sport surfaces, automotive industry, construction, geotechnical/asphalt application, adhesives and sealants, shock absorption ans safety products, rubber and plastic products.

Tire Recycling Plant is What You Need
How to win these markets? One important thing is to ensure the quality of tire crumb. Although there is a lack of a uniform standard, we still have some common sense. For reaching it, we need to follow strict producing process and we need quality tire recycling plant.

Then what can be a quality tyre recycling plant? And what’s the tyre recycling plant cost? Each single machine are working and cooperating with each other well. As an experienced manufacturer of tire recycling machines, we have small tire recycling plant and large one. We have different solutions for each series. Take our XKP-400 Line for example. Its output is 200 kg/h for around 5-30 mesh rubber powder. The cost is about 22,000 dollars.

How to Scrap Electrical Motors

AC induction motors, which are most widely used in industrial drives, contain a stator coil that is made of copper or aluminum wire, while copper is most commonly used. If you are a metal recycler, you may want to separate out the copper winding from scrap electric motors, which will get you more money. A motor manufacturer may also have failed motors in hand waiting to be processed. In this regard, we have two methods to introduce for you.

Recover by Using Simple Tools

1. Make sure the motor has not been used for at least one hour to avoid electric shock. 
2. Cut off the items which are attached on the motor. 
3. Loosen the screws on the steel case and then remove the case. 
4. Use a pair of wire cutters or chop saw to cut off one side of the copper winding, and then pry the winding out by using a screw driver on the other end.
5. Now you get the copper winding. You can go further to recycle the aluminum and steel in the motor. 
However, salvaging motors by this way is labor intensive. If you have rich resources of scrap motor, you might consider a fast way to scrap the copper winding. Good news is that, there are machines special designed for recycling copper winding in the motor stator.

Electric Motor Recycling Machine
Electric motor recycling machine consists of two machines, copper wire cutting machine and copper wire pulling machine. The cutting machine cuts one end of the copper winding, while pulling machine pulls the winding out. 
The recycling machine has high efficiency but only consumes quite small amount of power. It can dismantle motor stator with the diameter of 6cm-50cm. There are no damage to the silicon steel case. 
The copper winding are not bare, but are generally coated in enamel, which protect the wire from shorting itself out. The copper content in a scrap motor varies according to the types of motor. Averagely, an AC motor contains 7-9 percent of copper.

An Overview of Common Scrap Material

During our life time, we may produce over 600 times our own weight in trash.If we don’t recycle them, we will undertake unimaginable result in future. Pretty much all the resources we have on Earth- all the raw materials and an awful lot of the energy- are limited. Once we’ve used them up, we won’t get any more. The other hand, the things we throw away are likely to go off to be bulldozed underground in a landfill or burnt in an incinerator. Both of two ways will bring horribly pollution. Therefore, it will be good for us to take part in reducing, reusing and recycling as much as possible.

What can be recycled? Most things you throw away can be recycle and remade into new products- although some are easier to recycle than others. Metal, plastics, paper and cardboard, kitchen and garden waste, wood, etc.,all can be recycled.

Metal Scrap
One section of the recycling industry may not be popular, but just as important is scrap metal recycling. Why to recycle metal scrap? Simply put, recycling scrap metal is vitally important to the environment and the economy. Another good reason is that metal is one of the most easily refashioned and reused materials we have.
We all know that scrap metal is divided into two categories: ferrous and non-ferrous. Ferrous metals include carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and wrought iron, and those often used in housing construction, cars and trucks, and rail roads. After recycled, they are also being extensively used in these industry.
Non-ferrous metals include copper, lead, brass, aluminum, tin, zinc and others. Copper scrap is more familiar with us. The usual commercial supplies of pure copper are used for the most critical of electrical applications such as the production of fine and superfine enamelled wires. When these copper wire scrap is no longer in use, they can be recycled and refined. Copper cable granulator and wire stripping machine are two common choices.
Paper&Cardboard
Paper is made from plant fibers. Every time when it is re-manufactured, the fiber will become shorter. When they are too short to make paper, some new paper always has to be added during the papermaking process according to the practice. Another problem with recycling paper is that not all paper is the same. Among all kinds of paper, you will find thatoffice paper is better than the toilet paper. The higher the quality of paper waste, the better the quality of recycled products it can be used to make. So high-grade white paper collected from offices can be used to make more high grade white recycled paper. But a mixture of old newspapers, office paper, junk mail, and cardboard can be used only to make lower-grade paper products.
Plastics
Of all the different waste we toss in the trash, plastics cause by far the biggest problem. They last a long time in the environment without breaking down, which can kill wildlife, scar the shoreline and pollute our water.The only trouble is, plastics are relatively hard to recycle. There are many different kinds of plastic and they all have to be recycled in a different way. However, there are also some plastic recycling machines which are applicable for many kinds of plastic scrap like PVC, TPR, PP, PE, EVA, PET, PC, TPE materials, waste rubber products, sponge, etc.

What Can We Do With Tire Scrap

As a business, tire recycling industry is experiencing tremendous growth because of more and more strict requirement of safe disposal. But before you start, having a knowing of the local regulations is very necessary since it varies from state to state.

When you start tire recycling business, learn some basic knowledge of it. Tires can be turned in to crumb rubber, which can be used for rubber-modified asphalt, vehicle mud guards, floor tiles and mats, patio blocks and surfaces for running tracks and playgrounds. Recycled tires are also commonly used as fuel in civil engineering project. The non-rubber portions of the tire are also recycled. For instance, the steel beads that give the tire its shape and structure are processed into specification-grade product used by steel mills for new steel.

Then you can make a preliminary business plan according to your purpose. You need to have a clear mind of what you will need, especially the vehicles and location. Equipment will vary a lot, depending on what you plan on doing. If you want to produce rubber powder, a waste tire recycling plant will save you a lot of trouble, which has included all necessary machines like tire sidewall cutter, tire strip cutter, tire block cutter, tire shredder, rubber crusher, etc. Check national and local prices for tires and crumb rubber and explore whether there are community grants for green business. 
 
To keep normal operation, ensure to get government approval. One important part is getting a business license and proper zoning for your location. A tire recycling business may require specific permits or licenses, depending upon the location.
After you open the tire recycling yard, you need to strengthen the cooperation with local waste management department, local mechanics, or dealers, etc. The local waste management department will most likely have the most up-to-date information about tire waste in your area.

Tire recycling can avoid many bad effect, but to do legally and efficiently will bring more benefits. Good luck for you!

Huge Market Potential of Copper Wire Granulator in Australia

An Overview of Scrap Metal Recycling in Australia
Australia is a strong net exporter of a wide range of mineral commodities, especially metallic minerals. Being one of the most developed countries, Australia owns high level of resources consumption which is the main reason why Australia generates a large amount of waste materials, especially scrap metal. It is estimated that the current level of scrap metal generation in Australia equals approximately 50% of the country’s total metal consumption. In 2012/13, the overall amount of metal in Australia was estimated to be 12 million tons, among which the amount of generated scrap, waste metal and other losses is 7 millions tonnes!
In general, the flow of metal starts from mineral extraction, goes through several stages of transformation, such as processing, refining, fabrication, and manufacturing, includes product use in the economy (consumption), and ends up with product disposal, or scrap metal recycling for the next cycle.
By extrapolation, the Australian Scrap Metal Industry generates $2 billion annually, and holds 0.7% of the global scrap market. Over the period from 2002 to 2011, the amount of collected metal scrap grew from 3.3 Mt to 3.9 Mt. The overall collection rates are relatively stable at about 70%. The current levels of waste metal generation, metal scrap collection, and domestic processing of metal scrap in Australia equal approximately 50%, 35% and15%. There is still a long way to go to fully implement circular economy model!
With concern over theories such as peak minerals, constraints on mining such as carbon emissions and higher costs, and an increase in consumer goods requiring rare metals, recycling metals is becoming an increasingly attractive way of fulfilling society's needs. While not denying the dependence of Australia on mining and minerals industry revenue for economic growth, we believe that a better understanding of metal cycles in the economy can provide a pathway to Australia’s leading role in resources stewardship.
Copper Scrap VS Other Metal Scrap
Metal recycling mainly includes copper, aluminium, ferrous, lead, nickel and titanium. Although steel and aluminum is frequently mentioned in Australian metal recycling, copper also plays an important role in the whole industry, for example, the average ‘new’ copper wire contains some 30% recycled material. The more we recycle, the less we need to mine. For copper the energy saving is approx. 60% and for aluminium even 90%. The key determinants of success in this area are the ability to collect metals for recycling at the end of their useful life (old scrap collection rate), the ability to collect the scrap created upon manufacturing of goods (new scrap collection rate), and the efficiency of the recycling process. Of these parameters the most important future improvements should be expected in the old scrap collection rate, which is currently below 50% for both copper and aluminium.
Classification of Scrap Copper Wire
Copper scrap has five general types: scrap copper solids, scrap copper non-solids(turnings, dust, chips, etc.), scrap copper wire, scrap copper breakage(scrap motors, scrap transformers, scrap copper windings) and scrap copper alloy.
Scrap copper wire, as an important part of copper, is worthy of more research. Copper wire scrap also can be divided into five categories:
85% Wire: Thin case with a diameter comparable to a pencil’s. If you have this type of wire, just strip it yourself and get full copper price!
70% Wire: Romex/machine wire without any attachments. Found inside of any type of electronics or appliances
50% Wire: Extension cords and appliance cords
35% Wire: Thinly gauged wire with a considerable degree of attachments. “Communications wire” For example, VGA cables, telephone wires, etc.
10% Wire: Christmas lights

However, most scrap yard do not segregate scrap wire into so many types. This will usually result in just 2 types of categories for you scrap copper wire:
re: Any copper wire with a single layer of insulation.
High Grade Copper Wire: Any copper wire with a single layer of insulation.
Low Grade Copper Wire: Any copper wire with a double layer of insulation.
This is a general guideline. Every scrap yard is different. But one point is same that if you want to get the value of copper, you must remove insulation.

The Most Functional Copper Wire Recycling Machines
There are several options to process copper wire scrap, but burning is never allowed. Not only does it harm the environment from the fumes, but also it will downgrade your scrap yard. While you shouldn’t be burning the wires you are looking to get copper from, you can use some other heat to help you. You can warm your wire in the oven (on low) or in a black box in the sunshine to warm the insulation to make it softer and easier to remove with a handheld stripper or razor blade.
In Australian capital cities, scrap copper is collected by business and local government. They have the ability to buy recycling machine, such as copper wire granulator, or wire stripper machine, to get better effect! Both of these 2 copper wire recycling machines are with high efficiency: wire stripper machine can process copper and aluminum wires. It has a wider application for single-strand and double strand wire within 1-100 mm. As for copper wire granulator, it sells pretty well in developed countries, such as US, UK, Australia. It can satisfy large-scale copper recycling need.
