Equipment Introduction

Motor Rotor Crusher

The motor rotor crusher is a high-speed crushing machine used to process prepared electric motor rotors, generator rotors, stator sections and other suitable copper-iron or aluminum-iron composite scrap.

Complete motors must be dismantled before crushing. Housings, bearings, long steel shafts, lubricating oil, capacitors, electrical accessories and other easily removable components should be separated according to the selected recycling process.

A high-speed rotor drives the crushing components to repeatedly impact, deform and break the prepared motor material. The crushing process reduces the material size and helps expose copper windings, aluminum conductors and ferrous core components for downstream separation.

Prepared rotor and stator sections that meet the crusher feeding limits may be processed directly. Large, heavy or irregular motor components may require dismantling, hydraulic breaking or primary size reduction by a twin shaft shredder before entering the crusher.

After crushing, a magnetic separator can recover liberated iron and steel from the processed material. The separation result depends on how effectively the copper or aluminum conductors have been released from the ferrous core.

After ferrous metal removal, screening and suitable material preparation, an eddy current separator may recover conductive non-ferrous metals from an appropriate non-metallic material stream. It does not normally separate copper from aluminum or recover copper that remains attached to iron.

When separate copper, aluminum and ferrous fractions are required, screening, density separation, sensor-based sorting or manual sorting may be added according to the processed material and required products.

The motor rotor crusher can operate as an individual machine or form part of a non ferrous metal sorting line with dismantling, controlled feeding, crushing, magnetic separation, screening, additional sorting, dust collection and centralized control.

The final configuration depends on the motor type, rotor dimensions, shaft condition, copper or aluminum content, required capacity, expected output size and target recovered fractions.

Working Principle

Motor Rotor Crusher Crushing and Sorting Process

Motor Rotor Crushing and Separation Process

Motor Dismantling and Material Preparation

Complete motors should be dismantled before crushing. Motor housings, bearings, long shafts, lubricating oil, capacitors, electrical accessories and other easily removable components should be separated according to the selected recycling process.

The intended feed material is a prepared rotor, stator section or copper-iron composite component that meets the feeding limits of the selected crusher.

Controlled Feeding

Prepared motor rotor and stator material is transferred into the crushing chamber by a conveyor or suitable loading device. The feeding rate should match the material dimensions, individual weight and crusher load.

Large shafts, thick steel components and oversized motor parts require dismantling, hydraulic breaking or another preparation method before crushing.

Crushing and Material Liberation

A high-speed rotor drives the crushing components to repeatedly impact, deform and break the prepared motor material. The process reduces the material size and helps release copper windings, aluminum conductors and ferrous core components.

The degree of material liberation depends on the rotor or stator structure, conductor type, output size, crusher configuration and number of processing passes.

Screen-Controlled Discharge

When the crusher includes a screen or grate, material that meets the selected opening is discharged from the crushing chamber, while oversized pieces remain inside for further processing.

Actual output depends on the incoming component structure, screen opening, crushing configuration and feeding conditions.

Magnetic Separation

After crushing, magnetic separation can recover liberated iron and steel from the processed material. Copper and aluminum components that remain attached to iron may report to the ferrous fraction.

Effective material liberation is therefore important before magnetic separation.

Screening and Material Classification

Screening can divide the crushed mixture into different particle-size fractions and remove excessive fine material. Separating narrower particle-size ranges may improve the stability of subsequent sorting equipment.

Copper and Aluminum Recovery

Copper and aluminum are both conductive non-ferrous metals. Eddy current separation may recover conductive metal particles from suitable non-conductive residues, but it does not normally separate copper from aluminum as two high-purity products.

Density separation, sensor-based sorting or manual sorting may be required when separate copper and aluminum fractions are expected.

Dust Collection

Dust collection can be configured around the crusher, screening equipment and conveyor transfer points according to the insulation material, coating, contamination level and workshop requirements.

Material Collection

Ferrous material, copper-containing fractions, aluminum-containing fractions and residual material are transferred to separate collection areas according to the selected sorting process.

Features and Advantages

Motor Rotor Crusher Features

Designed for Motor Rotor Recycling

The motor rotor crusher is designed to process scrap motor rotors, stator windings and other copper-iron mixed materials. It breaks the rotor structure and prepares the copper and iron components for subsequent separation.

High-Speed Hammer Crushing System

The crusher uses a high-speed rotor and hammer system to impact, tear and crush scrap motor rotors. The hammers, liner plates and screen work together to reduce the material into smaller mixed particles.

Preparation for Copper and Iron Separation

Crushing helps release copper windings from iron cores and other ferrous components. Magnetic separation, air classification, screening or additional sorting equipment can then be selected according to the material condition and separation requirements.

Magnetic Separation Available

The crushed mixture can pass through a magnetic separator to remove ferrous materials, including iron cores and silicon steel pieces, from the copper-rich material stream.

Optional Air Classification

An air classifier can be installed after magnetic separation. It separates materials according to particle size, density and airflow settings, supporting further sorting of copper-rich particles, iron residues and light impurities.

Wear-Resistant Hammers and Liners

The hammers and liner plates can be made of wear-resistant alloy materials according to material hardness and operating conditions. These wear parts can be inspected and replaced based on actual operating conditions.

Compact Crushing and Sorting Line

The complete line can integrate feeding, crushing, conveying, magnetic separation, air classification and dust collection. The equipment layout can be adjusted according to the available workshop space, material flow and production requirements.

Customizable Configuration

The machine and line configuration can be customized according to rotor size, material composition, required capacity and site layout. Available customization options include:

  • Crusher model

  • Motor power

  • Screen opening

  • Conveyor layout

  • Magnetic separator configuration

  • Air classifier configuration

  • Dust collection system

  • PLC control system
