Can waste cable sheath be recycled? What's the recycling process?

As we know, there are different types of cable sheaths in the market. The sheaths can be made of different raw materials such as PVC, PE and rubber, etc., among which PE and rubber are most commonly used and they can be recycled through the way of thermal pyrolysis to produce fuel oil and other valuable byproducts.

Waste cable sheath for recycling

The basic principle of waste cable sheath recycling processing is to recover the rubber and plastic parts of it. Waste rubber and plastic materials are organic materials. Through pyrolysis, the waste cable sheath will be breaking down, and the long carbon chain substances in them will be converted into short carbon chain substances through high-temperature heating.

All the above waste cable sheath pyrolysis process can be carried out through our waste pyrolysis machine which is composed of pyrolysis reactor, gas buffering, cooling and purifying system as well as emission control system. And the common waste cable sheath recycling process is easy to understand: feeding waste cable sheath- heating the pyrolysis reactor - cable sheath pyrolysis process- oil gas cooling - carbon black discharging - exhaust gas purification, etc.

Through the above process, waste cable sheaths can be recycled to avoid environmental pollution and achieve resource reuse. The fuel oil extracted from pyrolysis machine can be used or sold as a good heating fuel for cement/brick/steel/glass making factories, heavy oil power plants, etc. The obtained carbon black can be briquetted or refined for sale. There is a great sales market and profit margin.

Many waste cable recyclers develop it as an expansion and appreciation of the recycling business industry chain. Of course, if your raw material is a complete waste cable, we also have relevant pre-treatment equipment to strip the waste cable sheath and metal for recycling.
