I have a question that the copper cable only burns to get rid of these gums, and there is another way not to burn, but just dissolve something or something like that

Well, on a larger scale, it is probably only burned in a fire, but then they are only suitable for scrap metal or for hanging laundry The only thing left is a knife, pliers (vice) and some work ...

Many buyers of non-ferrous metals do not want to accept burned copper because then there is a suspicion that it comes from a crime.

A simple device is used for stripping the insulation. Two metal shafts through which the cable is passed. Under the influence of crushing, the insulation becomes brittle and can be pulled off without any problems. Later the same with the veins. One shaft, of course, must have stroke adjustments. That's the whole machine. I used to work on a copper smelter that paid for the separation of this raw material.

it is also a raw material - steel

Separating the insulation where there is a thick copper wire with such a device will be successful, but how to remove the insulation from car lines, not to mention thin cables to electronics? And there's a big pile of it. Insert untangled cables one at a time? A little pointless.

Put the ropes from the car into the acid.

Think before you start something.

And how to heat the cables in an old oven? The plastic will melt elegantly, and the copper will be fine, no soot ...

It's like this, we either burn or torture the cables and hands with sharp tools, or: there are no other methods.

What about a thin rope?

Are they cables as electric cables and not tension cables? So where does this steel come from?
I am a little surprised - because you can get rid of insulation in industrial terms, you can use long wires - and these are then more valuable as a wire. On the other hand, clippings that are worth processing are not suitable for simple machines, and lines (braids) in particular.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around alternative methods for removing insulation from copper cables without burning. While burning is a common method, it raises concerns regarding the legitimacy of the copper's source. Several alternatives are suggested, including using a mechanical stripping device that crushes the insulation, making it brittle for easy removal. There are also mentions of using acid for stripping insulation from car wiring, although this raises safety concerns. The challenges of stripping insulation from thin electronic cables are highlighted, with suggestions for industrial methods to improve efficiency. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for safer and more effective insulation removal techniques.
