Key Features

Unlike smelting-based copper recovery, this system operates at ambient temperature using a low-concentration acid electrolyte. No toxic gases are released during operation, eliminating the need for expensive fume extraction systems and protecting worker health on the shop floor.

The electrolytic approach consumes significantly less energy per ton of recovered copper than thermal alternatives. With five dedicated recycling cells operating in parallel, the system maximizes throughput while keeping per-unit electricity costs low — a critical factor for operations processing large volumes of etching waste.

Cathode copper produced by this machine can be placed directly into anode frames for secondary electrolysis without an intermediate smelting or casting step. This shortens the recycling workflow, reduces handling, and lowers overall processing costs.

The system is not limited to etching solutions. It processes crushed copper powder, copper alloy granules, and scrap copper recovered from electroplating lines (gold, silver, nickel), making it a single investment that serves multiple waste streams in a recycling facility.

Corrosion-resistant polypropylene tanks with transparent lids allow operators to visually monitor the electrolysis process without interrupting production. Red-handled quick-connect valves simplify fluid management, and the integrated rectifier with front-panel controls provides straightforward current adjustment across all five cells.
