Copper cables with approx. 70% conductor content – strong cross-sections with little insulation – achieve a high cable price. The copper cable 70 price is calculated daily per kg.

What counts to copper cable about 70%

Copper cables are about 70% wires, with around 70 percent of the weight attributable to the copper core. Marks are strong cross-sections and a comparatively thin sheath. In the case of cable scrap, only the conductor's share decides on the grade – not the colour of the coat and not the length.

Typical seizure sites

High-power installations with thin sheathing, earth cables and mains cables with large cross-sections, industrial and machine cabling, weak current and telecommunications technology, remains from cable construction. Such scrap metal is produced in larger quantities during dismantling, renovation and operational resolutions.

Which lowers the classification

Double and triple coats, filling material, steel reinforcement, aluminium shield mesh as well as screwed-on clamps and plugs. Ground and moisture also have an effect. Which carries significantly more plastic than copper, one step goes deeper.

Delimitation to neighbouring grades

Coat cable with balanced ratio we lead as Copper cable approx. 60 %, thin and multi-coated lines as Cu cable mixed (38–40% Cu). If you have exposed the ladder yourself, sell bare wire as Millberry copper. Whether stripping is worthwhile depends on the cross-section – with strong lines almost always.

Copper cable about 70 % send in throughout Germany

This is how the parcel shipment works

Choose grade, specify quantity, receive shipping label, deliver package. You can send in cables up to 1,000 kg. After the entrance, we weigh and pay. If you roll the cables closely, then more weight fits into the package.

From what amount is the collection worthwhile

From 500 kg onwards we pick up Germany-wide with our own fleet – with cable drums and big bags usually the easier way. The collection costs are staggered after distance and are fixed before the journey.

Delivery to Ludwigshafen

Industriestraße 4, 67063 Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm, without appointment. In case of doubt, we cut a piece and determine the conductor portion before weighing. You can see the daily price at Copper scrap. Further delivery points will follow.

Weighing and disbursement

Weighing on calibrated scales, the weighing is yours. Payment is made within 24 hours, cash or by bank transfer. In the event of major disbursements, the Money Laundering Act requires an ID card. In the case of commercial delivery, the tax liability is governed by § 13b of the UStG. We buy from private and commercial, as a family business with our own recyclable farm in Ludwigshafen.

Frequently asked questions about buying copper cables approx. 70%

Does each thick cable automatically count about 70% as a copper cable?

No, the rash gives the weight ratio from conductor to case, not the diameter. An armed earth cable with steel tape can fall deeper despite strong cross-section, while a slim-coated feed line can lie clean in this grade. If cables of different types are combined, we sort out before weighing; thin, multi-coated goods then run as Cu cable mixed (38–40% Cu).

Is it worth the way if after a conversion only one drum of copper remains for sale?

A full drum of powerful wires weighs more than the eye can suspect – often it reaches the collection limit of 500 kg. Below this you give up a package, up to 1,000 kg is possible. If it remains with the one drum, the delivery without appointment in Ludwigshafen am Rhein is usually the fastest way, This is how the delivery works.

Can I estimate what copper is worth before the cables come to the scales?

Yes, as soon as the grade is established: For each copper grade the price of the day is below Copper price current. Because the quotation changes daily, this information is only available as a daily price. When you sell the grade yourself, we determine the actual one at the time of arrival – the proceeds are based on the weight and daily price of this grade.
