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.
