Scrap Electric Motors for Metal Recycling – High Copper Recovery Yield

Maximize your metal recovery with our sorted Scrap Electric Motors. Sourced from industrial machinery, automotive starters, home appliances, and power generators, this motor scrap offers a high concentration of recoverable copper wire encased in heavy-duty steel, cast iron, or aluminum housings.

Ideal for secondary metal refiners, shredding plants, and scrap metal exporters, our motor scrap is sorted to ensure minimal attachments and maximum metal recovery efficiency.

Key Material Features & Industry Yields

High Copper Content
Electric motors represent one of the most lucrative grades of non-ferrous scrap. Recoverable copper windings typically range between 10% and 20% by total weight, providing strong margins for copper secondary smelting.

Diverse Scrap Classifications
Lots include a balanced mix of industrial AC/DC motors, alternator scrap, transformer cores, refrigeration compressors, and loose armatures and stators.

High Purity & Sorting Standards
Sourced and processed to remove heavy attachments such as cast iron gearboxes, pumps, and structural frames. Materials are free from heavy oil contamination and ready for shredding, granulating, or magnetic separation.

Eco-Friendly Supply Chain & Packaging
Recycling scrap electric motors reduces carbon emissions and energy consumption by up to 85% compared to primary copper mining. Supplied in heavy-duty Gaylord boxes on wooden pallets, big bags, or loose bulk container shipments complying with EU waste transport standards.
