Wire Chopping Services

Wire chopping, or mechanical wire recovery, is a form of wire recycling that chops and granulates wire in order to separate out different metal commodities from non-metallic, foreign materials such as plastic.

Wire scrap sources are:

• Demolition projects
• Dismantling sites
• Public utilities
• Wire and cable manufacturers

Sims Metal Management's wire chopping capabilities include: grinding copper and aluminum wire into small pellets, inspecting for foreign matter and separating plastic wire casings.
