Top 5 Scrap Cable Strippers Suppliers in Russia [2025]

Headquartered in Yekaterinburg, UralRecycleTech has been a staple in the Russian recycling scene since 2008. What started as a small workshop fixing old stripping machines has grown into a full-scale manufacturer trusted by over 300 recycling yards across the Urals and Siberia. Their claim to fame? The scrap cable stripper D01-6B (also known as the Cable Peeling Machine) —a mid-sized workhorse that’s become a favorite for medium-volume operations.

What really sets the D01-6B apart is its balance of power and precision. We visited a recycling yard in Chelyabinsk that’s been using three of these machines for five years, and the owner, Dmitry, summed it up: “We process everything from thin telephone cables to thick industrial ones, and this machine handles them all without complaint. The blades last 6-8 months even with daily use, and when we need parts, UralRecycleTech gets them to us in 2 days—no waiting around for imports.”

Key specs? It handles cables from 5mm to 60mm in diameter, strips both plastic and rubber sheaths, and churns out 150-200 kg of stripped cable per hour. Plus, it’s designed with Russian winters in mind—insulated wiring and a heating element for the control panel mean it starts up smoothly even when temperatures hit -20℃. If you’re in the Urals or Siberia, their local service team is a huge plus; they offer on-site repairs within 48 hours, which is a lifesaver when downtime costs money.

One minor downside? It’s not the fastest machine on the market, but for most recyclers, the trade-off between speed and durability is worth it. As Dmitry put it: “Better a machine that runs reliably for 5 years than one that breaks down every month—even if it’s a bit slower.”

When it comes to experience, MoscowMetallurgyEquipment (MME) is the granddaddy of Russian cable recycling equipment. Founded in 1995, they’ve weathered economic ups and downs, sanctions, and shifting environmental laws to emerge as a leader in high-end, automated solutions. Their flagship model, the scrap cable stripper D01-8A , is the top choice for large-scale recycling plants that need to process tons of cable daily.

Walk into their Moscow factory, and you’ll see why they’re trusted by giants like Gazprom’s recycling division and the Moscow City Waste Management Department. The D01-8A is a beast—fully automated, with a conveyor feed system, laser sensors to adjust blade pressure for different cable types, and a touchscreen interface that even a first-time operator can master in an hour. We watched it process 300 kg of mixed cables in an hour—no jams, no mis-strips, just a steady stream of clean copper and aluminum.

“The best part is the data tracking,” says Anna, an operations manager at a Moscow recycling plant. “We can monitor how much we’re stripping per shift, track blade wear, and even get alerts when maintenance is due. It’s like having a smart assistant for our cable line.” And if you need customization? MME does that too—they recently built a modified version for a Siberian client that includes a cold-resistant hydraulic system for -35℃ conditions.

Of course, all that tech comes with a higher price tag—about 30% more than the UralRecycleTech model. But for operations processing over 500 kg/day, the ROI is clear: faster processing, less labor (one operator can run two machines), and lower long-term maintenance costs. Just be prepared for a longer lead time—custom builds take 8-10 weeks, but MME’s reputation for quality makes the wait worthwhile.

If sustainability is your top priority, SiberianEcoTech (SET) is the supplier to watch. Founded in 2012 by a team of environmental engineers, this Novosibirsk-based company has made a name for itself by designing cable stripping machines that are as green as they are efficient. Their star product, the MX-D01-6Y6, is a modular system that uses 15% less energy than competitors and produces 30% less noise—music to the ears of recyclers near residential areas.

What’s clever about the MX-D01-6Y6 is its modular blade system. Instead of replacing the entire blade assembly when one part wears out, you just swap the worn blade segment—saving on parts and reducing waste. “We used to throw away $500 worth of blades every 3 months,” says Ivan, who runs a small recycling yard in Omsk. “Now we ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ just the worn bits for $100, and the machine still works like new.”

It’s not just about blades, though. The machine’s motor is designed to automatically adjust power based on cable thickness—no more wasting electricity on thin cables. And the sound-dampening casing? It brings noise levels down to 75 decibels (about the same as a vacuum cleaner), which means Ivan could expand his yard closer to town without upsetting neighbors. Processing speed is 200-220 kg/h, and it handles diameters from 3mm to 80mm, making it versatile for small to medium operations.

SET’s biggest challenge? Brand recognition. They’re newer than MME or UralRecycleTech, so some recyclers are hesitant to switch. But those who do rave about the customer service—their engineers will even visit your yard to help optimize your workflow, not just sell you a machine. If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and save on energy bills, the MX-D01-6Y6 is worth every ruble.

Headquartered in Rostov-on-Don, VolgaRecyclingSolutions (VRS) has carved out a niche serving the southern regions of Russia—Krasnodar, Stavropol, and even parts of Ukraine and Kazakhstan. What makes them stand out? A focus on portability and flexibility, perfect for recyclers who collect cables from multiple sites or have limited space.

Their best-seller, the scrap cable stripper MX-A02-8F3 , is a compact, wheeled machine that you can tow with a pickup truck. We met Sergei, who runs a mobile recycling service in Krasnodar, and he showed us how he loads the MX-A02-8F3 into his van and sets up at construction sites. “Builders hate dealing with old cables, so I go to them, strip on-site, and pay them by the kg. This machine is light enough to carry with two people, but tough enough to process 100-180 kg/h. The battery lasts 4 hours on a charge, or I can plug it into a generator.”

Don’t let its size fool you—the MX-A02-8F3 is built for the south’s unique challenges. It has a dust-resistant casing (essential for Rostov’s dry summers) and a corrosion-proof frame to handle the humidity along the Black Sea coast. The blade adjustment is manual, but that’s a plus for Sergei: “I can tweak it on the fly if I hit a cable with a tricky sheath—no waiting for the computer to recalibrate.”

VRS also offers a unique “try before you buy” program—they’ll loan you a machine for a week to test in your own yard. “We had nothing to lose,” says a recycler in Volgograd. “After three days, we knew it was exactly what we needed.” Their prices are mid-range, and they offer flexible payment plans, which is helpful for small businesses just starting out.

Last but definitely not least, FarEastTechMachinery (FETM) is the go-to for recyclers in Russia’s Far East, where temperatures can plummet to -40℃ and importing equipment is a logistical nightmare. Based in Vladivostok, this company was founded in 2010 specifically to serve regions like Kamchatka, Magadan, and Sakhalin—places where “standard” machines from European suppliers freeze up or break down.

Their flagship model, the FETM-900, is a beast built for the extremes. We spoke to a recycler in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky who’s used one for four winters: “Last January, it was -38℃ outside, and the machine started on the first try. The hydraulic fluid is specially formulated to stay viscous in the cold, and the control panel has a heated glass screen so I can actually see what I’m doing. We’ve never had a breakdown, even when processing frozen cables that other machines would snap.”

While it’s not the fastest (180-250 kg/h), the FETM-900 makes up for it in durability. It’s built with thicker steel frames, reinforced gears, and blades made from a local alloy that resists chipping in cold temperatures. And since FETM sources 90% of its parts from Russian suppliers (including UralVagonZavod for metal components), lead times for repairs are under a week—unheard of in the Far East.

They also offer a unique “Arctic Package” for the coldest regions: extra insulation, battery warmers, and even a small heater for the operator’s area. It adds about 10% to the cost, but for recyclers north of the Arctic Circle, it’s non-negotiable. As one customer put it: “In Magadan, you don’t just buy a machine—you buy survival gear. FETM gets that.”
