Mizar Weekly | Recycling of Greasy Cables

What Are Greasy Cables?

Greasy cables are special types of cables used in heavy industries such as construction machinery, mining equipment, marine systems, and automotive production lines. These cables are coated with grease either on the outer sheath or inner conductors to ensure durability under extreme conditions. However, once their lifecycle ends, they become technically challenging and costly to recycle.

Recycling Challenges

Due to the deeply embedded grease:

Cutting units become clogged,

Metal and plastic cannot be clearly separated,

Granule purity decreases,

Excessive dust and machine contamination occur.

Therefore, many recycling facilities avoid processing greasy cables.

Mizar’s Solution: ERP – Eco Recycling Plant

Mizar Recycling Machinery tackles this challenge with a specially developed line: the ERP – Eco Recycling Plant. This modular system focuses on efficiency, durability, and high-purity output.

ERP Line Components:

Single Shaft Shredder
Effectively shreds greasy cables into uniform material.

Overbelt Magnetic Separator
Removes ferrous metals from the shredded mix to protect the system and improve separation.

Granulator
Further reduces the size of the material into fine granules, allowing for precise metal and plastic separation.

Densimetric Separator
Separates plastic and metal fractions by density. This step ensures over 99% copper purity.

Dust Collector
Cleans the dust generated by greasy cables and maintains a safe and clean working environment.

Optional Add-ons:

Zigzag Separator: Pre-separates light plastics.

Turbo Mill: Enhances separation efficiency for complex and fine cables.

Result: Turning Difficult Cables into Profitable Resources

With the ERP line, greasy cables can be transformed into:

99%+ pure copper granules,
