Main constituents of a proper disposal procedure
• Complete demagnetization of the components that contain permanent magnets
• Components that are to be recycled should be separated into:
– Electronics scrap (e.g. encoder electronics, Sensor Modules)
– Electrical scrap (e.g. motor windings, cables)
– Scrap iron (e.g. laminated cores)
– Aluminum
– Insulating materials
• No mixing with solvents, cold cleaning agents, or residue of paint, for example
10.2.1
Disposing of secondary sections
Demagnetization of the secondary sections
Disposal companies specialized in demagnetization use special disposal furnaces. The insides of
the disposal furnace consist of non-magnetic material.
The secondary sections are put in the furnace in a solid, heat-resistant container (such as a
skeleton container) 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 during a
holding time of at least 30 minutes.
Escaping exhaust must be collected and made risk-free without damaging the environment.
10.2.2
Disposal of packaging
Packaging materials and disposal
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)
