Motor

Motors are widely used in printers, fans, drives, projectors, appliances, and many other electronic or electromechanical products. In recycling operations, small motors are often recovered from dismantled office equipment, cooling assemblies, and peripheral devices. A motor may contain copper windings, steel or iron housings, shafts, magnets, and support components. Because of their material composition and broad presence across equipment types, motors are an important part of electronics recycling programs. Recovering motors improves metal separation, supports more complete dismantling, and helps capture useful value from electromechanical assemblies that might otherwise remain buried in mixed waste streams.
