Why Quality Screens Matter in Copper Wire Granulator Machines

When it comes to copper wire recycling, a copper wire granulator machine is one of the most efficient tools to separate copper from plastic. However, many people overlook one of the most critical components inside the machine — the screen (sieve).

At Optima, we know from years of experience that the quality of the screen directly determines the quality of your copper output. Let’s take a closer look at why.

The Role of the Screen in Copper Separation

The screen inside a granulator machine works like a filter. It allows fine copper granules to pass through while keeping larger plastic particles out. A well-designed screen ensures:

• High copper purity — cleaner separation between copper and plastic.

• Consistent output — stable performance across different wire types.

• Lower loss rate — less copper mixed into the plastic waste.

Without a high-quality screen, even the best machine will struggle to deliver clean copper.

Why Optima Screens Are Different

Our screens are made with wear-resistant materials and precise design to handle long-term operation. This means:

• Durability — resistant to wear and tear, even with heavy workloads.

• Efficiency — optimized mesh size for maximum copper recovery.

• Easy replacement — designed for quick installation and maintenance.

We’ve seen many customers underestimate the importance of screens, only to realize later that upgrading this single component dramatically improves their results.

The Bottom Line

If you want higher copper purity, longer machine life, and better return on investment, the screen inside your copper wire granulator is not something to overlook.

At Optima, we supply not only granulator machines, but also high-quality replacement screens and other spare parts to keep your system running at its best.
