Shuliy copper wire stripping machine removes insulation from scrap electrical wires and cables to recover copper or aluminum conductors. Three models are available: SL003 for wires measuring 1.5–38 mm, SL006-8 for 2–60 mm, and SL-008-1 for 1.5–150 mm. Their listed processing capacities range from 100 to 5,000 kg per day, depending on the model and operating conditions.
For scrap metal dealers, cable recyclers, and copper recovery businesses, the main consideration is whether a machine can handle the wire sizes and quantities collected each day. Shuliy offers different motor configurations and machine sizes to accommodate different processing requirements.

What makes Shuliy wire stripper machine different?
Several design features are relevant when evaluating a copper wire stripping machine for regular recycling work.
- Copper-wound motor: This type of motor provides the power necessary to drive the stripping mechanism and offers greater durability compared to standard motors.
- Removable scroll wheel: It offers greater portability and flexibility in terms of workspace, making it ideal for distributed work environments.
- Adjustable cutting mechanism: The blade regulating handle allows operators to adjust the cutting position for different wire sizes. This is particularly useful when the incoming material contains multiple diameters.
- Heat-treated rollers: The heat-treated rollers support wire feeding and handling. Their wear resistance is relevant to repeated operation.
- Alloy steel cutter head: The alloy steel cutter is designed to cut through wire insulation. Its hardness and cutting performance support repeated stripping operations.
Copper wire cable stripping machine structure
Shuliy copper wire stripping machines feature a compact structure with components designed for wire feeding, stripping, and safe operation. The main parts include:
- Blade regulating handle
- Wire entrance
- Thickened angle bracket
- Electric motor
- Removable wheels
- Alloy steel cutter
- Heat-treated roller
- Safety guard
- Outlet
- Pulley
Each component plays a role in the machine’s overall operation and maintenance.
Working principle of cable stripping machine
A copper wire stripping machine cuts or opens the insulation around a conductor so the metal can be recovered separately.
The basic process is straightforward:
- Feed the wire: Insert a compatible scrap wire through the designated entrance.
- Adjust the cutting position: Set the blade according to the wire diameter and insulation thickness.
- Strip the insulation: The cutting mechanism opens the insulation as the wire passes through the machine.
- Collect the processed material: Remove the stripped wire and separated insulation for subsequent sorting or recycling.
What types of scrap wire can be stripped?
The suitability of a copper wire stripping machine depends on more than whether the cable fits through the entrance. Wire diameter, insulation thickness, conductor structure, and cable construction all influence the result.
Potential materials include:
- Insulated scrap copper wire
- Insulated aluminum wire
- Electrical wiring
- Mixed scrap wires
Before purchasing, provide the supplier with photographs and measurements of your actual scrap wire. For unusual or thick cables, confirm compatibility rather than relying on diameter alone.
Which copper wire stripping machine should you choose?
The main difference between the three Shuliy cable stripper machines is their supported wire diameter, motor configuration, and stated daily capacity.
| Specification | SL003 | SL006-8 | SL-008-1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motor power | 1.5 kW | 2.2 or 3 kW | 4 kW |
| Voltage | 220V / 380V | 220V / 380V | 380V |
| Wire diameter | 1.5–38 mm | 2–60 mm | 1.5–150 mm |
| Daily capacity | 100–300 kg | 200–1,000 kg | 200–5,000 kg |
| Dimensions | 530 × 520 × 830 mm | 700 × 550 × 850 mm | 930 × 550 × 1,280 mm |
| Weight | 65 kg | 120 kg | 285 kg |
The capacity figures are reference values. Actual output depends on wire size, insulation, cable construction, and working hours.
- SL003: A compact option for smaller scrap wire operations.
- SL006-8: It offers a wider maximum wire diameter than the SL003 and two listed motor power configurations.
- SL-008-1: This has the widest stated wire diameter range, up to 150 mm, making it worth evaluating for businesses handling larger cables.
The type and size of scrap wire you receive should guide your choice, especially if your material contains both thin wires and thick cables.
Wire stripping machine vs. copper wire granulator
Both of these machines are used for recycling waste cables, but they operate in different ways and yield different final products.
| Comparison | Wire Stripping Machine | Copper Wire Granulator |
|---|---|---|
| Main Function | Remove insulation by cutting or peeling | Process suitable scrap wires to separate copper and plastic |
| Processing Method | Mechanical stripping | Usually involves shredding or granulation and separation |
| Typical Output | Stripped metal wire and removed insulation | Separated copper granules and plastic |
A wire stripper machine is worth considering when the cables can be fed through its cutting mechanism and the goal is to remove insulation directly.
A copper wire granulator may be more appropriate when processing large quantities of suitable wire scrap through a granulation and separation process.
Cable stripping machine price: What determines the cost?
The price of a copper wire stripping machine depends on the selected model and configuration. Shuliy offers three models with different motor powers, supported wire diameters, dimensions, and weights.
The following factors should be considered when requesting a quotation:
- Model and processing range
- Motor and voltage
- Processing requirements
- Shipping and additional costs
When comparing wire stripping equipment prices, consider not only the purchase cost but also whether the machine can process your actual scrap material without excessive manual handling or frequent adjustments.
Is a copper wire stripper machine worth buying?
For businesses that handle scrap wires regularly, buying a copper wire stripping machine can save time and reduce manual labor. It removes insulation from suitable cables, making copper or aluminum recovery easier.
However, whether it is worth the investment depends on how much scrap wire you process and how much you can save. If you have a steady supply of scrap wires, a suitable machine can help improve daily processing efficiency.
Before buying, compare the machine price, operating costs, and expected labor savings. This will help you decide whether a wire stripping machine is a practical choice for your recycling business.
