How to remove copper from scrap motor stator?

The stator is an important part of the motor and usually contains copper windings. Therefore, for scrapped motors, we can increase its reuse value by recycling the copper inside. This article provides a detailed step-by-step guide on how to remove copper from the stator.

Copper Motor Recycling Machine

Step 1: Safety Precautions

Before starting the disassembly process, make sure you have proper safety gear such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Also, make sure the stator power is disconnected to prevent accidents.

Step 2: Disassembly

First remove the motor housing or cover to gain access to the stator. Depending on the motor type, this may involve loosening bolts or removing clips or clamps. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully or consult a professional if needed.

Step 3: Remove Copper Wire

Locate the copper windings inside the stator. They are usually wound tightly around an iron or steel core. At this time, we need to use special motor copper wire extraction equipment to extract and recycle the copper wire on the fixed surface. The following is a three-in-one machine developed and manufactured by SUNY GROUP that is specially used for copper recycling in the motor.

Step 4: Separating the Copper from the Iron or Steel Core

After removing the copper wires, you will need to separate them from the iron or steel core. This can be done by carefully unwrapping or unrolling the copper from the core or using a specialized tool such as a coil stripper. To improve work efficiency.

Step 5: Copper Recycling or Replacement

After successfully removing the copper from the stator, we can gather a large amount of copper wires together and sell them directly or carry out further processing, such as copper electrolytic refining.

Removing copper from a stator can be a delicate process that requires attention to detail and the use of the proper tools. Reasonable use of relevant tools and equipment in the recycling process will not only be safer, more reliable and more stable, but also greatly improve efficiency.
