Industry leader in metal recycling technology solutions since 2012. Specialized in manufacturing high-efficiency copper recovery systems.
With the increasing demand for copper and growing environmental regulations, the recycling industry has undergone significant transformation in recent decades. Modern copper wire granulators represent the cutting edge of this evolution, offering unprecedented efficiency in metal recovery operations.
The global copper recycling market is projected to reach $83.7 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.2%. This growth is driven by several factors:
Recycling copper uses 85-90% less energy than primary production. Each ton of recycled copper prevents the release of 1.5 tons of CO2 emissions.

1. What are the maintenance requirements for a copper wire granulator?
Industrial copper wire granulators require scheduled maintenance every 300 operating hours which includes cutter inspection, bearing lubrication, and separator calibration. With OW Technology systems, key components like blades are designed for easy replacement to minimize downtime.
2. How does air separation density work in copper granulation?
Air separation utilizes controlled airflow velocities to exploit density differences between copper particles (8.96 g/cm³) and plastic (0.9-1.4 g/cm³). Our copper wire granulators feature multi-stage separation chambers with adjustable settings to optimize separation for different wire diameters.
3. What environmental certifications do these systems require?
Modern copper wire granulators should comply with CE, ISO 14001, and RoHS standards. OW Technology systems meet all international standards with noise levels below 75dB and full dust containment with HEPA filtration systems.
4. What is the role of electrostatic separation?
Electrostatic separation applies between 25kV-40kV charges to further purify copper particles that may have residual plastic. This high-voltage process ensures copper purity exceeds 99.95% in our advanced systems.
5. How to choose between dry and wet processing systems?
Dry processing granulators are increasingly preferred due to zero water pollution and lower energy requirements. OW Technology specializes in advanced dry processing systems that achieve higher copper purity with 40% lower operating costs compared to traditional wet methods.
6. What safety features are critical in granulator operations?
Essential safety features include emergency stop systems, thermal protection sensors, overload protection, and physical interlocks preventing access during operation. Our copper wire granulators incorporate multiple redundant safety systems certified to SIL-2 safety standards.
7. What determines the processing capacity of a granulator?
Processing capacity depends primarily on shredder motor power (typically 30-100HP), crushing chamber dimensions, and separation system efficiency. For optimal performance, the feed material's copper-to-plastic ratio and wire diameter range are also critical factors.
The copper granulation industry is advancing rapidly with these developing technologies:
OW Technology is at the forefront of these innovations, with R&D investments focused on developing intelligent separation systems that increase productivity while reducing energy consumption by up to 30%.
