In Gambia, the recycling of electrical waste has historically relied on labor-intensive manual stripping and hazardous open-air burning. These methods, while common in urban centers like Banjul and Serekunda, result in significant copper loss and severe environmental pollution, particularly affecting air quality and soil health in residential areas.
The increasing demand for infrastructure development and the influx of electronic waste have created a critical need for professional cable granulator machine systems. Local entrepreneurs are now seeking mechanical alternatives to replace primitive burning, aiming to capture the higher market value of clean, granulated copper.
However, the local industry faces challenges such as unstable power grids and high humidity levels. This necessitates equipment that is not only efficient but also robust enough to withstand the coastal climate of Gambia while maintaining low energy consumption.
