As the volume of discarded electric motors continues to increase, efficient recycling has become more important than ever. Scrap motors contain high-value materials such as copper windings, silicon steel laminations, and iron casings. Recovering these resources not only generates higher profits but also supports sustainable recycling practices.
The Electric Motor Cutting and Copper Extractor is specifically designed to dismantle waste electric motors quickly and efficiently. By combining motor cutting, stator separation, and copper wire extraction, the machine enables recyclers to recover clean copper with minimal material loss while significantly reducing manual labor.
How Does the Electric Motor Cutting and Copper Extractor Work?
The recycling process is simple, efficient, and highly automated.
1. Motor Cutting
The machine first cuts open the motor housing, allowing easy access to the internal stator. The hydraulic cutting system provides stable and precise cutting without damaging valuable copper windings.
2. Stator Cutting
After the motor casing is removed, the stator is positioned for circular cutting. The cutting unit creates an opening that separates the copper winding from the silicon steel core, preparing it for extraction.
3. Copper Wire Extraction
The extraction mechanism grips and pulls the copper winding from the stator in one complete process. This method helps maintain the integrity of the copper wire while achieving high recovery rates and excellent material purity.
The entire workflow is designed to maximize efficiency while minimizing waste, making it an ideal solution for modern motor recycling facilities.

Main Features
High Copper Recovery Rate
