Disposing of 1FW6 rotors
Disposing of and demagnetizing 1FW6 rotors
The magnetized rotors must be subject to a special thermal disposal procedure so that they
do not pose any risk during or after disposal. For this reason, they must be disposed of by a
specialist disposal company.
Once the motor has been dismantled, the rotors must be packaged individually in the
undamaged original packaging in accordance with the relevant guidelines.
Demagnetizing the rotors
Disposal companies who specialize in demagnetization use special disposal furnaces.
The interior of the disposal furnace is made of non-magnetic material.
The secondary sections are placed inside a solid, heat-resistant container (such as a
skeleton container), which is made of non-magnetic material and left in the furnace during
the entire demagnetization procedure. The temperature in the furnace must be at least
300 °C over a holding time of at least 30 minutes.
Escaping gases must be collected and decontaminated without damaging the environment.

The packaging and packing aids we use 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 burned.
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)
