Subsea contract for JDR

Ukraine cable recycling plant

The equipment company Eldan Recycling has delivered and commissioned an Eldan E2000C cable recycling system to a company operating in the Ukraine. The new system will be integrated into the customer’s existing production program to supply copper feedstock for the company’s new copper and wire cable production process. “The customer chose Eldan because of the high purity of the copper fraction,” explained Vadim Michagin, Eldan’s area sales manager. “The purity of the copper fraction is imperative for the successful production of high quality copper wire.” Eldan has been developing, refining and optimizing the cable recycling process since 1971, when it first introduced equipment for the task.
