BANO: NEW FRONTIERS IN WIRE RECYCLING Innovative systems designed by Bano Recycling cross previous thresholds in maximizing metals recovery from wire and cable scrap. ecyclers who process wire and cable scrap have longstanding expectations and formulas regarding how much effort and cost can be expended to extract metal from the many different types of wire scrap they encounter. These same limitations also exist in the motor recycling sector. Bano Recycling, headquartered in Padua, Italy, looked at these limitations and saw thresholds that could be crossed and adjusted forever. The firm’s engineering knowledge and persistence have resulted in Bano now offering wire processing systems that allow metals recyclers to think differently about their options in the 2020s. “We have been developing specific technology that is different from the others,” Bano Sales Project Manager Laura Minotto says. Via rigorous attention to machine design, durability and operating costs, Minotto says owners of a Bano system can profitably handle not just production scrap or another uniform cable stream, but also “difficult wires like steel-armored cable, telecom or coaxial cables, undersea cables, auto shredder insulated copper wire (ICW) and even elmo and shelmo mixed motors.” With the latest Bano systems, Minotto says, “The customer is not forced to just feed proper clean cable, but is able to take from the market what the market offers now.” In an era when overseas options that accept baled wire and cable have greatly diminished, the processing solutions offered by Bano come at an ideal time for the nonferrous recycling sector. The advances forged by Bano involve several techniques, with systems typically containing more than one piece of equipment. Two are critical devices in the Bano system: the refiner mill and the turbo mill (vertical and horizontal).
