The
Danish
recycling
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.
