SWEED WIRE INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS

CABLE CUTTERS

SWEED cable cutters are powerful hydraulic units used for despooling and powering through tough cables and rods to obtain manageable cut lengths and higher valued scrap.

SHREDDERS | PRECHOPPERS

SWEED shredders and prechoppers are used as stand-alone components for reducing bulk cable to prepare for recycling, or can be married into a SWEED wire chopping line to recover copper and aluminum from wire and cable.

SLITTERS

SWEED slitters are used for separating jacketed material from the valuable copper or aluminum.

SWEED slitters can also be used in conjunction with a linear scrap chopper for companies wanting to remove the jacketed material and further prepare the non-ferrous material.

SWEED’s line of linear scrap choppers easliy despool wire and cable off reels and prepares the scrap into easy-to-manage chopped pieces; the solution for maximum compaction when shipping scrap to processors.

They can also be integrated into a wire chopping line for full copper and aluminum recovery.

SWEED’s ACSR/ACSS system despools and separates the non-ferrous from ferrous material.

This system can be set-up as a stationary, skid-mounted, and mobile unit, depending on your processing needs.

Our History

It all started with an imported gang saw. After WWII, three brothers from Germany migrated to the United States and built a sawmill on Galls Creek in Gold Hill, Oregon. Dissatisfied with the imported gang saw they were using, they decided they could make a better saw themselves.
