Disposing of electric motors correctly: construction, recyclables & electric motors
Electric motors are the driving force of modern technology – they convert electrical energy into mechanical motion and are indispensable to industry, transport and household. From small household engines to large industrial motors, every electric motor has a grade of valuable metals that can be recycled excellently.
Scientific consideration of electric motors
A Electric motor is physically based on electromagnetic induction. When electrical current flows through a coil, a magnetic field is created that generates mechanical movement. This principle was first introduced in the 19th century. ==History==Faraday was first described by Michael Faraday in the 19th century and still forms the basis of electric drives.
Structure and materials of a typical electric motor:
- Stator: Fixed part with copper windings, produces the magnetic field.
- Rotor: movable part of iron, steel or aluminium alloys.
- Housing & Bearing: mostly made of cast iron, steel or aluminium.
Special Copper plays a central role in the electric motor: due to its high conductivity, it is indispensable for windings. In addition, many electric motors also contain rare earths like neodymium and dysprosium, which are used in permanent magnets.

Recycling and recovery of valuable raw materials
The recycling of electric motors is technically demanding, but ecologically and economically extremely useful. By working on electric motors, Copper, iron, aluminium and rare metals The Commission has also taken the view that this is not the case in the present case.
Modern recycling processes allow:
- Disassembly of electric motors in individual material groups
- Magnetic and mechanical separation Of metals
- Recovery Copper and aluminium with high purity
- Sustainable reuse in new production processes
This closes the material cycle – a decisive step towards resource-efficient electromobility and sustainable industry.
Electric motors Purchase – fair, transparent and environmentally friendly
Old or defective electric motors are not waste, but valuable scrap metal. The Purchase of electric motors the metals contained are evaluated and remunerated according to their proportion of copper, aluminium and steel.
How the E-engine purchase works:
- Bring your electric motors to our reception point in Ludwigshafen (Industriestraße 4).
- Alternatively, we offer a On-site collection for larger quantities.
