The electric motor is a component of modern cars, and they can be found in many different places. You may not realize it when you’re driving, but looking around the inside of your vehicle, some motors make the window go up or down.

What Are the Benefits When You Recycle Electric Motors

Ever wonder how your garage door gets up and running? It’s all thanks to electric motors. Electric motors are found everywhere, from opening a car door or pushing in some groceries at home with one.

This article will give you an in-depth look at the benefits of recycling electric motors. And start recycling for the better in the environment.

Get to Know Electric Motors

Electric motors were invented by the British scientist William Sturgeon, and they have been around since 1825. They have come a long way in 200 years. From the first ‘commutated’ rotating electric machines to today’s powerful and efficient alternative energy sources!

Electric motors are a necessary evil in our everyday lives, but when do they stop working? That is not such an easy problem to fix. It would seem like the simplest solution is just throw away your broken motor and buy another one, right?

But do not do it. You could save yourself some money by taking advantage of recycling programs designed especially for this type of equipment at local scrap yards which will get them back into use again with minimum cost hassle.

Learn How It’s Recycled

When preparing to recycle your electric motor, make sure that all of the pieces and attachments are unscrewed. It will reveal what’s hiding behind them: The actual exterior housing.

The three-step process of this industrial electric motor recycling machine yields a valuable material that can be recovered and used in other products.

Stage One

The operator initiates a high-pressure separation and removal of the outer casing to expose elements in an electric motor.

With this process, aluminum or cast iron housing is cut on opposing sides to separate it from its stator, which can then be peeled away with great force being applied through hydraulic machines compressing air.

Stage Two

The second stage is when the stator or transformer block is opened up to reveal copper coils ready for separation.

Stage Three

The third stage of the process involves pulling a long and winding copper cable through some gears until it is completely unrolled. It grips onto both sides tightly to push away from its housing with rods pushing off from either side, which will then leave you able to see just how much wire there is.

The Result

This pile of scrap metal and plastics will be recycled into a valuable volume of copper wiring.

The Benefits of Having Your Electric Motors Recycled

Electric motors are not just a waste of space. They contain essential components that can be recycled. Most electric motors are 100% recyclable, so we don’t want them sent to landfills.

  • Electric Motors Contain Valuable Materials

The proper way to recycle your electric motor is by taking it apart and then transplanting the pieces into a new one. You can also use scrap metal for some parts, which will save money compared with buying brand-new ones.

  • Helps Reduce Landfill Waste

The amount of waste in landfills is growing at an alarming rate, as electric motors are widely used if they were all put into these pages. It would have a significant impact. Not only environmentally but also financially for taxpayers who pay to maintain them.

By recycling these parts and turning them into something new, we are not just saving the earth from further damage. We are also giving these machines a second life to use.

Its Importance

What happens when your fan stops working? Maybe it got spoiled by an electric surge that damaged all its components – the motor inclusive.

Do you dispose of them or try to fix and save these devices in a house full of mechanical items like air conditioning units, heating ventilation systems, etc.?

Recyclers buy damaged fans, pumps, and blowers as scraps which they take to recycling centers for processing in addition to this recyclable material from being separated from non-recyclables during the sorting process.

All of a fan’s metal components (including the electric motor) can be recycled 100% because it contains 5% plastic parts or shreds.

Recycling electric motors help reduce landfills, solid waste, and pollution. Furthermore, it protects natural resources such as copper that is used for making parts like windings on a motor’s shaft, which produces the majority of devices today, including those with batteries or solar panels.

Without this material being recycled there would be more harm than good done by letting them go out into landfills and take up space forever.

Copper is a precious metal that has been used for centuries. Even though it is valuable, expensive, and found in many electrical devices. Rather than depleting its source, why not recycle?

Gain Extra Income in Recycling

Not many people appreciate the art when you recycle electric motors. Electric Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion.

Electric motors are some of the most commonly used household appliances, and they can be found in various devices, including microwaves, hand tools, and air conditioners. The average family owns at least three different types.

Experts in scrap metal removal will pay good money for the parts from electric motors. They can carefully separate all components. Ensuring that everything recyclable gets recycled, and they are always looking out for our interests.
