A.3.2.2
Disposing of rotor segments
Risk of death and crushing as a result of permanent magnet fields
Severe injury and material damage can result if you do not carefully take into consideration
the safety instructions relating to permanent magnet fields of rotor segments.
• Observe the information in Chapter Danger from strong magnetic fields (Page 31).
Disposal and demagnetization of rotor segments
Have a specialized disposal company dispose of rotor segments that are equipped with
magnets and which are no longer to be used.
Professional thermal disposal ensures that during and after disposal the rotor segments do
not represent a risk.
After the motor has been disassembled, ensure that the rotor segments are individually
packaged in the undamaged original packaging as specified.
Disposal companies that specialize in demagnetization use special disposal furnaces. The
interior of the disposal furnace is made of non-magnetic material.
The rotor segments are placed inside a rugged, heat-resistant container (such as a skeleton
container) which is made of non-magnetic material, and placed in the furnace. The rotor
segments remain in this container during the complete demagnetization process. The
temperature in the furnace must be at least 300 °C for at least 30 minutes.
Escaping gases must be collected and decontaminated without damaging the environment.
A.3.2.3
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)
