I made and ran one of those, complete setups that was one of my jobs at scrapyd, with the setup we could produce a ton or more an hour, of clean bright copper granules out of swa, less on thinner multi strand etc. A ton then was £7/800 up to maybe 1k depending on prices , We had a literal mountain of chopped plastic 20 metres tall that used to get used by horse people for paddocks etc
The pre chop used 100 KW motor and the fine used 60kw, the dust extraction 50kw which used a cyclone 10 m x4 m dia. plus hundreds of small motors for conveyors, magnets , separator tables, shakers etc, the setup took up a complete shed 30m x15m but--- the prechop was outside, so we could load it with poclain grabhandler. We could sell some of the outer plastic back to bicc for reuse, especially when it was sent on drums.
I had the job of designing implementing and running it, That's one of the reasons I'm deaf... EH
Pardon ?
