Removing insulation from copper wire

Wire Stripper

(affil links)

Q. We are starting a construction demolition recycling center. How do we remove insulation off of copper wire in an economical way.

Thanks,

The most economical and efficient way that I know of stripping copper wire for recycling is by using The Wire Zipper. This product does just what it says it can do - it strips 14 ga. solid to 4 ga. stranded. Look it up on the internet.
