Main constituents of a proper disposal procedure
● Complete demagnetization of the components that contain permanent magnets
● Components that are to be recycled should be separated into:
– Electronics scrap (e.g. encoder electronics, Sensor Modules)
– Electrical scrap (e.g. motor windings, cables)
– Scrap iron (e.g. laminated cores)
– Aluminum
– Insulating materials
● No mixing with solvents, cold cleaning agents, or residue of paint, for example
11.3.2 Disposal of rotors in synchronous version
This chapter provides instructions on disposal of the synchronous rotor with permanent
magnets.
Dispose of magnetized rotors by an appropriately specialized disposal company.
Precondition
For transport, pack the rotors individually in the original rotor packaging.
Procedure for disposal of rotors with permanent magnets
Make sure that rotors equipped with permanent magnets are demagnetized so that they do
not pose any danger when disposed of.
11.3.3 Disposal of packaging
Packaging materials and disposal
The deployed packaging and packing aids contain no problematic materials. With the
exception of wooden materials, they can all be recycled and should always be disposed of
for reuse. Wooden materials should be thermally recovered.
Note
Original rotor packaging
Retain the original rotor packaging for transport to the disposal company.
Only recyclable plastics are used as packing aids:
● Code 02 PE-HD (polyethylene)
● Code 04 PE-LD (polyethylene)
● Code 05 PP (polypropylene)
● Code 04 PS (polystyrene)
