What are the requirements for storing waste wires and cables

Nowadays, the trend of recycling and reusing waste cables is becoming increasingly strong, but it cannot be ignored how to store these waste cables, as even a little carelessness can lead to danger. Due to external force damage and long-term overload operation, many cables nowadays suffer from mechanical failure and damage. If immediately buried in an area with strong acid and alkali effects, it usually causes the armored cable, tin sinker, or outer protective layer of the cable to be corroded. In addition to the influence of the surrounding environment and temperature, the environment and heat source in which the cable is located can also cause the cable to overheat or even explode and catch fire.

To safely and correctly store waste cables that have been stored for a long time, it is important to remember these points: do not bend them excessively, do not place them in damp environments, keep them suspended, and do not expose them to high temperatures or direct sunlight.

Due to the fact that the main materials of cables are polyvinyl chloride and copper, if cable products are coiled together in a relatively low temperature environment, it may damage the outer or inner surface of the cable. Therefore, for the recycling of waste cables, it is advisable to avoid storing them in trays and instead choose to store them in plastic or metal pipes. When recycling waste cables in plastic pipes, attention should be paid to the temperature conditions of the storage environment to avoid excessive temperature and damage to the stability of the cables caused by thermal conductivity in the plastic pipes.

If it is a corrosive chemical substance such as acid, alkali, mineral oil, etc., it is strictly prohibited to come into contact with wires and cables, and strict isolation must be maintained to avoid corrosion and accidents to the cables. Regularly flip the wires and cables to prevent moisture absorption and corrosion on the bottom surface, while checking whether the wire and cable heads are intact and undamaged. When using special logistics transportation routes, cable reels should be reinforced and designed to prevent multiple reels from being lifted and lifted at the same time to prevent collision or tipping over.

There is a significant difference between cables and other discarded items. Improper storage may release harmful substances, and many of the cable products recovered by waste cable recycling stations can be reused. Improper storage can even affect the quality or reuse rate of cables. Therefore, storing waste cables for recycling can excavate a dedicated cable trench, and then recycle and lay the waste cables into the cable trench, while strictly monitoring the dry and humidity conditions of the cable trench.
