Electrical & control cabinet construction

Selling copper cables, collecting rails and electric motors

Purchase of copper cables, collection rails, granules and electric motors for electric companies: nationwide collection from 500 kg, billing by credit.

What happens in your company

The cable does not decide the length and not the color of the coat, but the conductor's part. After that, you should sort it out on the construction site.

Copper cable approx. 70 % are strong cross-sections with thin sheathing: supply lines, earth cables, machine cabling. Copper cable approx. 60 % covers NYM from the house installation and control lines from the distributor, 1.5 to 10 mm2. Cu cable mixed (38–40% Cu) is the bag with thin, multi-jacked wires and data cables. Cu plug-in cable (30 % Cu) means device cables with plug housings, extensions and drum cables: the lowest level, because plastic and contact parts weigh along. Copper busbars are solid flat rods from low voltage distributions, transformer stations and control cabinet construction. Even exposed ladders are Millberry copper: bright wire, glossy, without lacquer and oxide layer.

Granules, aluminium and drives

Copper granules from the own small granulation is free-flowing and bright; foil content and moisture in the bag press the classification. Aluminium/copper cables are composite lines from coolers and air conditioning systems, in which aluminium and copper cannot be separated. Aluminium cables NAYY-Earth cable, riser lines and sector ladder without copper. electric motors without attachments we take up to 500 kg per engine, without gearbox, fan hood and clamping box; the value is in the winding, not in the housing.

How pure it must be

This can be checked with three handles. First, the cut: cutting through a piece of cable shows how much conductor is under how much insulation; double coat, filler layers, screen mesh and co-wire reduce the proportion and thus the grade. Secondly, the magnet: steel reinforcement in the earth cable, carrying ropes in the core, bolted steel parts on rails and the steel on the motor console. Thirdly, the ends: terminals, cans, switches, plugs and power supply blocks weigh with and belong to, as far as this goes without effort. Earth on the earth cable, wetness in the roll and mortar on piled wires. Each cable type has its own daily price, see Copper price current.

Pick-up rhythm and container

From 500 kg we collect nationwide with our own fleet; the collection costs are staggered according to distance, lie between 40 and 350 euros and are fixed before the journey. The limit is quickly reached for cables: a full drum of strong wires weighs more than the eye suspects; when disassembly of a distribution, the rails alone carry the weight. Grid boxes, big bags and containers are placed in the appropriate size, see the fleet Logistics. With ongoing construction site we pick up regularly after consultation, according to filling level; see Collection. Smaller things we accept without appointment in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Industriestraße 4, Monday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Have your own pages Machining and Sanitary and heating.

Settlement against credit

The invoice will be invoiced by credit in accordance with § 14 para. 2 VATG: You do not write an invoice, we provide the receipt. He does not show VAT because the beneficiary owes the tax on scrap metal, § 13b para. 2 no. 7 VATG. Each delivery runs via a calibrated scale, separated by grade; the weighing slip is yours. Payment is made within 24 hours of receipt. For more information, see Metal purchasing.

That's how we start

  1. Record what happens: installation cables, mixed cable, plug cables, collecting rails, motors.
  2. Container on the yard or to the construction site, labeled, so that the fitters throw off properly.
  3. Collect up to 500 kg, then the collection; return smaller posts without appointment in Ludwigshafen.
  4. Weighing, credit, payout within 24 hours: Request a quote.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about electrical & control cabinet construction

How many times do you pick up?

From 500 kg, and the clock depends on your level, not on the calendar. With chips from ongoing production, these are often a few weeks, and with carbide it takes longer because the weight is stuck in a bucket. We agree to regular pick-up by arrangement. Depending on the distance between 40 and 350 euros, the pick-up costs are fixed before the trip.

Can I get a credit for the bookkeeping?

Yeah. We charge for commercial deliveries by credit in accordance with § 14 para. 2 VATG, so you do not write an invoice. VAT is not based on the fact that the recipient of the benefit owes the tax on scrap metal, § 13b para. 2 no. 7 VATG. In addition, the weighing slip of the calibrated scale with grade, weight and date; is paid within 24 hours.

What about cable with plugs?

Device and connection cables with plug housing run as Cu plug cable with around 30 percent copper, the lowest cable stage because housing and contact parts are important. You better cut off heavy power supply blocks and roll-on housing. If plug cables are in the bag with mixed cable, we sort them out before weighing.

How do you classify when cables of different design are combined?

By conductor part, not by diameter. An armed earth cable with steel tape falls deeper despite strong cross-section, a slim-coated feed line is clean at 70 percent. If everything is together, we sort it out in front of the scales and weigh each type separately. The actual grade shall be invoiced, not on the date of sale.

Is stripping worth it in your own company?

This is decided on the cross-section: With strong supply lines almost always, because bare ladders as copper Millberry is the highest copper grade. With fine strands and multiple enveloped data lines rarely, there the working time eats the difference. The comparison of daily prices of cables and bare wire shows it in your case.

Do engines have to be disassembled?

Do not disassemble, already decompose: gearboxes, flanged pumps, fan hoods, clamping boxes with electronics and loose cable remnants belong to, remaining stator, rotor and housing. So they run as electric motors without attachments, up to 500 kg per engine. Rust, oil and bolted steel consoles lower the classification, we calculate separated composite lines separately.
