With the surge in the amount of obsolete electrical equipment, my country generates over 2 million tons of motor waste annually. These scrapped motors contain large amounts of recyclable materials such as copper, aluminum, and silicon steel sheets, as well as contaminants such as insulating paint and grease. Open-air incineration or simple disassembly will result in serious environmental pollution and resource waste. The use of specialized
motor shredders provides key technical support for the large-scale, harmless treatment of motor waste, becoming a crucial component of the circular economy.
Analysis of the Resource Value of Motor Scrap
Scrap motors are valuable "urban minerals": each ton of scrap motors contains approximately 120-180 kg of copper, 30-50 kg of aluminum, 500-600 kg of silicon steel sheets, and the remainder is plastic and impurities. Copper accounts for over 70% of the total recycled value. Based on current market conditions, the raw material value of each ton of scrap motors can reach 6,000-8,000 yuan. Efficient recycling can effectively alleviate my country's high dependence on imported copper resources.
Specialized Processing Equipment and Technical Processes
Recycling motor scrap requires a heavy-duty shredder production line, which primarily includes: ① a pre-disassembly station to remove the outer casing and connectors; ② a powerful shredder to crush the scrap using a 30-100mm screen; ③ an eddy current separator to separate non-ferrous metals; ④ a magnetic separator to extract the silicon steel sheets; and ⑤ a dust removal and exhaust gas treatment system to ensure environmental compliance. The entire system has a processing capacity of 5-30 tons/hour, with a copper recovery rate exceeding 98% and a silicon steel recovery rate exceeding 95%.
A Win-Win for Both Economic and Environmental Benefits
Investing in a motor shredding production line offers significant benefits: Based on an annual processing capacity of 10,000 tons, the equipment investment is approximately 8-12 million yuan, with an annual output value exceeding 60 million yuan and a net profit margin of approximately 8-12 million yuan. It also offers significant environmental benefits: every ton of scrap motors recycled saves 150 tons of copper ore mining, reduces carbon emissions by 4.8 tons, and saves 85% in energy. This resource recycling model not only creates economic value but also promotes green and circular development in the electromechanical industry.
