How long does it take to process wires at Ecobraz?

Yarn processing at Ecobraz is a fundamental stage in the efficient and sustainable recycling of materials. Understand how long this process takes, what steps are involved and how the technology used influences the speed and quality of the work.

Introduction to wire processing

Wire processing is an essential activity for the reuse of copper and other materials present in discarded electrical cables and wires. At Ecobraz, this task is carried out using modern equipment and specific techniques to ensure maximum recovery of the materials.

Stages of wire processing

Processing involves several stages, from receiving the material to the final separation of the components. The main stages are:

• Receiving: The material arrives at the processing center and undergoes initial sorting to identify the types and condition of the yarns.
• Degassing and cleaning: To remove residues and contaminants that could compromise the quality of the final product.
• Fragmentation: The yarns are cut into smaller pieces to make it easier to separate the materials.
• Mechanical separation: Equipment is used to separate the copper or aluminum from the plastic and other coatings.
• Refining and treatment: The metallic material undergoes purification processes to increase its quality.
• Packaging and shipping: The recycled material is packaged for later sale or reuse.

Average processing time at Ecobraz

The time taken to completely process yarn at Ecobraz can vary depending on the volume and complexity of the material received. However, generally, the entire process takes between 24 to 72 hours to complete under normal operating conditions. This period includes everything from the initial sorting to the delivery of the recycled material ready for use.

For smaller batches, the time tends to be shorter, especially if the material is homogeneous and does not require additional cleaning or separation steps. On the other hand, when the volumes are larger or the yarns have various types of coatings and metals mixed in, the complexity increases and can extend the deadline.

Factors that influence processing duration

Some factors that can impact on processing time include:

• Quantity of material: Larger batches require more time for sorting and separation.
• Variety of yarns: Mixing different types can require additional processes.
• Available equipment: Automation and modern machines speed up processing.
• Material quality: Very dirty yarns or those with many contaminants require more rigorous cleaning steps.

Advantages of fast and efficient processing

Having an agile and efficient process brings benefits such as reducing waiting times for customers who need to dispose of their yarns and optimizing operational resources. In addition, efficient processing raises the quality of the recycled material, increasing its value on the market.

Commitment to sustainability

Ecobraz uses techniques that promote not only the recovery of copper, but also environmental preservation by minimizing waste and ensuring the correct disposal of plastic materials and other waste. The speed of processing does not compromise the environmental quality of the procedure, guaranteeing sustainability.

Conclusion

Wire processing at Ecobraz is carried out with high technology and attention to detail, guaranteeing efficient recycling in a timeframe that varies from 24 to 72 hours depending on the condition of the material received. This balance between speed and quality contributes to sustainability and the reuse of the resources present in electrical wires and cables.
