BX Cable Granulating Machine

BX cable requires a different recycling approach from ordinary insulated copper wire. The spiral steel armor surrounds multiple insulated copper conductors, creating a mixed-material feedstock .
The ENERPAT BX Cable Granulating Machine is intended for recycling operations handling steel-armored BX cable. The key consideration is planning how the steel armor will be removed from the copper-bearing material.
For U.S. buyers, ENERPAT has a local operation and team in Ohio to support equipment consultation and project coordination. Selected equipment may be available from stock, depending on the machine configuration and current inventory.

Product Description

BX Cable Granulating Machine

BX cable, also known as armored cable, is an older style of metal-sheathed electrical cable. The material described here features spiral steel armor around internal insulated copper wires. It has been used in older commercial buildings and may be encountered during electrical renovations, building upgrades, and demolition work.

The ENERPat BX Cable Granulating Machine is designed for this type of armored cable. It handles the steel armor before the final copper separation stage. Depending on cable dimensions and the selected processing route, the system can be configured with preliminary shredding or size reduction, magnetic separation to remove ferrous material, and further granulation and separation of the insulated copper wires. This enables efficient recovery of copper from BX cable while the steel armor is removed as a separate ferrous fraction.

Product Applications

BX Cable

End Products

Steel-armored BX cable requires careful planning because the recycling process must account for both the internal copper conductors and the outer steel layer. Before selecting a BX Cable Granulating Machine, it is important to confirm the cable construction, expected processing volume, and required output materials.

Send ENERPAT your cable photos or sample details, approximate dimensions, and recovery objectives.

DETALES

Optional Pre-Shredding

For bulky, long, or tangled feed material, an optional double-shaft shredder can be installed ahead of the granulator. It reduces the material to a suitable size for stable downstream processing. Whether pre-shredding is required depends on feed condition, size, and target capacity.
Fine Granulation

The fine granulator shears copper-bearing material into small granules, liberating copper from plastic insulation. ENERPAT recycling lines can be adjusted to produce granules below 3 mm for downstream separation. Final particle size is set according to material structure and separation requirements.
Vibrating Screening

After granulation, the vibrating screen evenly distributes mixed copper-plastic granules and stabilizes material flow to the air separator. ENERPAT uses a 1200 mm wide vibrating screen built with 304 stainless steel and Q235B carbon steel, featuring adjustable amplitude of 3–8 mm.
Air Gravity Separation

The air separator uses controlled airflow and density differences to separate heavy copper concentrate from light plastic fragments. This is the core step for obtaining clean copper granules.
Central Dust Collection

A matched central dust collection system captures fine airborne dust from shredding, granulation, and screening. It helps maintain a clean working area and supports continuous 24-hour operation.
Interlinked Conveyor Transport

Conveyors connect shredding, granulation, screening, separation, and collection modules. This reduces manual handling and integrates each stage into one automatic, continuous recycling line.

SUBMIT

The main challenge in BX cable recycling is the steel armor. The cable contains recoverable copper, but its spiral steel layer adds a ferrous fraction.
For recyclers, the processing sequence matters. The steel needs to be dealt with at an appropriate stage, and the remaining insulated conductors then need a suitable route for further size reduction and separation.
ENERPAT's equipment selection process should begin with the actual cable. By reviewing the cable construction, estimated volume, and desired output materials, the team can discuss whether additional preprocessing should be considered.

FAQs

Q1. Can ENERPAT test our BX cable before we purchase the equipment?

Yes. ENERPAT's copper wire granulator service information includes material testing before equipment selection. For BX cable, please provide representative samples or clear photos, cable dimensions, and details about the expected processing volume.
Q2. Why is de-ironing important when recycling BX cable?

BX cable contains a spiral steel armor layer as well as insulated copper conductors. A de-ironing stage should be considered as part of the recycling process.
Q3. Can a standard copper wire granulator process BX cable directly?

The steel layer changes the feedstock and introduces a ferrous-metal separation requirement. The appropriate processing route should be assessed according to cable construction, dimensions, and the intended recovery process.
Q4. Does ENERPAT have equipment in stock in the United States?

Selected equipment may be available through ENERPAT's U.S. operation in Ohio. Actual availability depends on the machine model, configuration, and current inventory. Please confirm stock status and estimated delivery timing for the equipment required.
Q5. Does ENERPAT provide installation and operator training?

Installation, commissioning, and operator training can be discussed during project planning. The exact arrangements depend on the equipment selected and the agreed project scope. Please confirm the required support with ENERPAT before finalizing the purchase.
