Sell Scrap Electric Motors
Recyclers who sell scrap electric motors know that electric motors are common items to recycle. Interco processes more than 1,000 tons of scrap electric motors each month.
Electric motors are often collected for scrap metal recycling. Recyclers sell scrap electric motors because they are heavy and contain a large amount of copper wire.
These components include the shaft, copper windings, bearings, armature, stator, and more.
Electric motors are fully recyclable since most of its components are metallic. The valuable and recyclable metals include:
- Copper
- Aluminum
- Iron
- The steel case around the motor
Scrap Electric Motors
Most motors comprise of valuable copper and aluminum components. However, the exterior of most motors is comprised of steel with a strong shell which protects the more fragile wiring and parts within.
Interco buys domestic loads of scrap electric motors in mixed or straight loads in combination with any other nonferrous metals or eScrap. The Interco facility is comprised of five buildings on more than 40 acres. The 40-acre facility has more than 20 docks and can receive loads by van trailer or dump.
The material can be found in a variety of items like vacuums, computers, ceiling fans, air conditioners, and more. An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
These scrap electric motors generate mechanical energy (force) through the interaction of its windings and magnetic field. Electric motors contain several components that are used to support converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
- Small motors usually fit about the size of a basketball and not much larger than an apple.
- As a result, recyclers classify motors larger than a basketball, but less than 2,000 pounds as large motors.
- Motors weighing more than 2,000 pounds over-sized motors. These motors vary in demand due to their size and nonferrous metallic content.
Interco Buys Scrap Electric Motors
Overall, an electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Products like industrial fans, blowers, pumps, and more need electric motors to work.
There are small, large, and over-sized motors that can be found in common items such as microwaves, hand tools, air conditioners and more. Electric motor recycling reuses valuable materials, reduces solid waste, reduces overall pollution and more.
