Customer Case - Radiator Recycling Machine – South Korea

The recycling of end-of-life electric motors is not merely about resource utilisation. Recycling one metric tonne of copper saves 85% of the energy required to produce it anew and reduces carbon emissions by several metric tonnes

The recycling of end-of-life electric motors is a project of significant importance for resource recovery. With the widespread use of electric motors in various types of equipment, the number of end-of-life motors generated is set to increase.

The recycling of end-of-life electric motors refers to the process of sorting, collecting, dismantling, shredding and otherwise recycling motors that have reached the end of their service life.

Many machines rely on electric motors. As the power source for a wide range of mechanical equipment, a large number of end-of-life motors are generated every year. Motors contain a variety of metallic materials, such as copper wire.

Every year, a vast quantity of waste electric motors is generated worldwide, primarily resulting from the replacement of industrial production equipment, the end-of-life of domestic appliances, and the decommissioning of vehicles.

The copper content of an electric motor is approximately 8–10% of its total weight. For example, from a 100-kilogram motor, approximately 8–10 kg of copper can be recovered. This estimate is based on the generally accepted range of copper content within t

The prospects for the recycling of end-of-life electric motors are promising, driven by both global resource constraints and environmental policies. As the number of electric motors in circulation continues to grow, and their end-of-life cycle gradually a

The radiator recycling machine is capable of processing various large copper and aluminium radiators, as well as motor rotors (with shafts) measuring less than 15 cm. It utilises dry mechanical crushing and air classification to crush and separate the mat
