What is a cable stripping machine?
A cable stripping machine removes the insulation from copper, aluminium, and other metal cables, leaving the bare metal ready for resale or further processing. By separating the metal from its casing cleanly and efficiently, a cable stripper significantly increases the value of your recovered material compared to selling unstripped cable.
JMC Recycling supplies cable strippers to suit operations of all sizes, with both new and used machines available across a range of specifications and throughput capacities.
What are the benefits of using a cable stripper?
Investing in a cable stripping machine delivers measurable advantages for any recycling or scrap metal operation.
- Maximises material recovery. A cable stripper efficiently separates copper or aluminium from its insulation, ensuring you recover the maximum amount of clean, sellable metal from every cable you process.
- Boosts recycling profits. Cleanly stripped metals command higher prices on the scrap market than unstripped cable. The better your recovery rate, the better your return.
- Reduces waste. By separating and recycling cable insulation as well as the metal core, a cable stripper helps divert material from landfill and supports your compliance with UK waste regulations.
- Improves efficiency. Automating the stripping process reduces reliance on manual labour, speeds up throughput, and frees your team up to focus on other tasks.
- Handles a wide range of cable types. From household wiring and automotive cables to heavy industrial cables, our range covers a broad variety of diameters and insulation types.

Stripping capacity varies by model, with machines available to suit small diameter household and automotive wire through to larger industrial cables. Our team can help you identify the right capacity for your expected volumes.
