The invention belongs to the technical field of waste cable treatment, and particularly relates to a method of recycling waste thin cables. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) winding a waste thin cable into a bundle and conducting standing for not less than 24 hours, (2)
cutting off the waste thin cable which is wound into the bundle section by section to obtain
cut-off waste thin cables, then transferring the
cut-off waste thin cables into a centrifugal
machine to separate plastic wire sheaths from
metal wire cores, wherein the length of the
cut-off waste thin cable is less than0.5 cm. By winding the waste thin cable into a bundle, certain stress can be formed between the plastic wire sheath and the
metal wire core, certain space is formed at the
critical position of the plastic wire sheath and the
metal wire core to facilitate separation of the plastic wire sheath and the metal wire core, the waste thin cable wound into the bundle can be conveniently
cut off to form short and small waste thin cables, the plastic wire sheaths and the metal wire cores are separated by utilizing the
centrifugal force of the centrifugal
machine, and thus, the plastic wire sheaths and the metal wire cores can be respectively obtained, and the waste thin cable can be recycled.
