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.
