Complete Operating Steps of the GM-S03 Mini Copper Wire Granulator

The GM-S03 mini copper wire granulator is a small, high-efficiency wire recycling machine that can crush, sort, and dedust small cables, achieving automatic and high-purity separation of copper and plastic. To ensure stable and efficient operation of the equipment, it is necessary to follow the complete operating procedure.

Preparations Before Startup

  • Check Power Supply and Wiring

Check the power cords of the main unit, control cabinet, and blower to ensure that the power connections are correct and stable.

  • Inspect Blades and Fasteners

Check the wear of the blades inside the grinding chamber and ensure that the screws and other fasteners are tightened.

  • Clean the Hopper and Pipelines

Check the feed inlet, conveyor pipe, and separation table for any residue or blockages.

  • Adjust Airflow and Separation Platform

Adjust the air valve and vibrating table according to the characteristics of the wire material to optimize the separation effect.

Startup Sequence

  • Turn On the Dust Removal System

Turn on the dust collector to ensure a clean and safe working environment.

  • Activate the Separation System

Start the vibratory separator and blower to ensure stable operation of the separation process.

  • Start the Crusher Last

Start the crusher only after the separation system has stabilized to avoid overloading the equipment.

Feeding and Crushing Process

  • Feed Material Evenly

Distribute the waste electrical wires evenly, avoiding the inclusion of large pieces of metal or other debris.

  • Crushing Operation

High-speed blades shred the wires into a mixture of copper and plastic granules.

  • Conveying to the Separation System

The crushed material is automatically transported by airflow to the vibrating separator.

Airflow Separation Stage

  • Airflow Adjustment

By using airflow, the lighter plastic particles are blown upwards, while the heavier copper particles sink, achieving preliminary separation.

  • Precision Separation on the Vibrating Table

By adjusting the vibration frequency and tilt angle, the copper and plastic are further separated into distinct layers.

  • Copper Collection

High-purity copper particles are discharged from the outlet and collected.

  • Plastic Discharge

The separated plastic is discharged through another outlet and collected for reuse.

Monitoring and Adjustments During Operation

  • Adjust the air pressure or vibration if the copper purity is insufficient
  • Check for pipe blockages if the material flow slows down
  • Stop the machine and inspect the blades or crushing chamber if unusual noises occur

Shutdown Procedure

  • Stop Feeding

Stop feeding materials and let the equipment run idle to clear out any remaining materials.

  • Shut Down in Reverse Order: Crusher → Separation System → Dust Collector

This prevents waste material from accumulating in pipes or chambers.

  • Clean the Equipment

Clean the vibrating table, crushing chamber, and dust collector filter bags, and prepare them for the next use.

Routine Maintenance Tips

✅ Regularly inspect the blades.

✅ Clean the blower and ducts.

✅ Ensure the electrical control cabinet wiring is secure.

✅ Perform a comprehensive inspection approximately every 200 hours of operation.
