Scrap Electric Motor Recycling Machinery & Solutions

Scrap electric motors are a hidden source of high-value metals. Inside each motor are copper windings, steel, aluminum, and sometimes rare-earth magnets. Among them, copper stands out for its high value and strong market demand. With the right recycling process, scrap motors can deliver stable and attractive returns, making motor recycling one of the most promising segments in the metal recycling industry. Recovered copper from electric motors is known for its high purity and easy resale. As a result, discarded electric motors—one of the richest sources of recyclable copper—have become a priority feedstock for professional recyclers.

The electric motor recycling line, also known as a scrap motor crushing and separation line, is designed to maximize metal recovery while minimizing labor and operating costs. The system utilizes mechanical crushing in conjunction with advanced separation technology to release and separate metals with high accuracy.

In operation, scrap motors are fed into a hammer crusher, where the motor housings and internal components are crushed into uniform fragments. The crushed material then passes through a three-stage magnetic separation system, which efficiently removes iron and steel components. Non-ferrous metals are further processed by an eddy current separator, allowing for the clean separation of copper and aluminum. The final output consists of high-purity copper and aluminum fractions suitable for direct sale or further refining.

The complete recycling line typically includes a feeding conveyor, hammer crusher, multi-stage magnetic separation system, and eddy current separator. This integrated configuration ensures stable performance, high separation efficiency, and consistent material purity. Compared with manual dismantling or basic shredding methods, the system significantly improves throughput, safety, and overall profitability.
