ACSR wire recycling systems from ERS separate aluminum from steel in reinforced cables, engineered for high‑purity recovery, dry separation, and efficient processing of power transmission scrap. At Engineered Recycling Systems, our ACSR Wire Chopping Systems are designed to isolate aluminum from steel with precision, ensuring optimal material recovery and consistent purity. Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) cables are widely used in power transmission, and their composite structure makes them valuable but challenging to process without specialized equipment. ERS systems are engineered to break down this reinforced cable design, separate the metals cleanly, and deliver high‑quality output ready for resale or refining.

ERS ACSR processing systems integrate advanced shredding, controlled material reduction, and high‑efficiency separation technologies to streamline operations. Through the use of dry separation tables, magnetic separation, and pneumatic transport systems, aluminum and steel are isolated effectively without excessive material loss. This dry‑process approach eliminates the need for wash systems, reduces environmental impact, and increases operational efficiency. By maximizing the recovery of both metals, recyclers gain stronger profitability and improved downstream purity.

ACSR cables are engineered with a steel core for strength and aluminum strands for conductivity. This combination is ideal for long‑distance transmission but requires a purpose‑built system to separate efficiently. ERS systems are designed specifically for this challenge, ensuring that the steel core is removed cleanly and the aluminum fraction remains uncontaminated. The result is a stable, high‑purity output that meets the demands of modern metal markets and supports sustainable recycling practices.

ERS remains at the forefront of metals recovery innovation, delivering high‑performance solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the recycling industry. Our ACSR systems are built for long‑term reliability, consistent throughput, and minimal maintenance requirements. Whether processing utility scrap, demolition cable, or mixed transmission lines, ERS provides the engineering expertise and technology required for efficient, sustainable recovery.

Next Steps for Your ACSR Recycling Project

If you’re evaluating ACSR wire recycling systems or planning an upgrade to your current operation, our engineering team can help you determine the right approach for clean aluminum and steel recovery.
