How Does the GM-D350 Shredder + GM-T500 Copper Granulator Recycle Scrap Wires Efficiently?

Copper is one of the most valuable metals found in scrap. Large quantities of old cables, communication lines, automotive wiring harnesses, and household wiring are discarded annually; rather than simply sending them to the landfill, they can be recycled to extract high-purity copper, while the plastic components can also be reused.

To help recyclers efficiently process these mixed scrap cables, Gomine has developed a specialized copper wire recycling solution—featuring the GM-D350 single shaft shredder and the GM-T500 copper wire granulator—that is both easy to operate and highly practical.

Why Use a Shredder Before a Copper Granulator?

Many old cables are long and prone to tangling; feeding them directly into a copper granulator is not only inefficient but also causes excessive wear on the blades.

That is why the GM-D350 single shaft shredder is used for the initial volume-reduction step. It offers several advantages:

• It chops long cables into small segments.
• It easily handles tangled wires.
• It saves on labor.
• It ensures a steady feed.
• It prevents the copper granulator from overloading.

In short, breaking the material down before processing makes the operation hassle-free and extends equipment lifespan.

Step 1: Cable Shredding

The GM-D350 uses a powerful rotating shaft equipped with durable blades.

The machine can process:

• Household electrical wires
• Communication cables
• Automotive wires
• Aluminum cables
• Mixed scrap wires

After shredding, the material size becomes more uniform, making it ideal for the next processing stage.

Step 2: Granulation and Separation

The shredded material is then transported to the GM-T500 Copper Granulator.

Inside the machine:

1. Cables are crushed into small particles.
2. Copper and plastic are fully liberated.
3. Airflow and gravity separation systems separate the materials.
4. High-purity copper granules are collected.
5. Plastic particles are discharged separately.

The entire process is dry and environmentally friendly, requiring no water.

Main Advantages of the Production Line

• High Copper Recovery Rate

The GM-T500 can achieve a copper recovery rate of up to 99%, helping recyclers maximize profits.

• Stable Operation

The combination of shredding and granulation creates a smoother workflow and reduces equipment stress.

• Low Labor Requirement

Only a few operators are needed to run the complete system.

• Environmental Protection

No chemical treatment or wastewater is generated during processing.

• Wide Material Compatibility

Suitable for various types of waste cables and wires.

What Final Products Can Be Obtained?

After processing, users can obtain:

Copper Granules

• High purity
• Easy to sell
• Suitable for direct smelting

Plastic Particles

• Recyclable material
• Additional source of revenue
