Electric Motor and Compressor Scrap Buying

Motors and compressors contain a combination of copper windings, steel and cast housings. They can also contain oils and refrigerants, so a little preparation and a clear conversation come before any removal.

Equipment that may be suitable

  • Electric motors of different sizes, with or without housings.
  • Stators and rotors from motors and generators.
  • Compressor units from industrial plants.
  • Pumps with motors attached.
  • Transformer cores and similar electrical equipment, subject to confirmation.

Recoverable material and things to watch for

These machines can contain recoverable copper, steel and cast iron. They can also hold lubricating oil, coolants and refrigerants. Sealed compressors in particular may contain refrigerant gas or oil that must be handled appropriately.

Do not release refrigerant, drain unknown fluids or open sealed equipment yourself. Tell us what the unit is and what it contained.

Details to include in your enquiry

  • Equipment type, make and model if visible.
  • Number of units and approximate weight.
  • Clear photographs of the nameplate and the overall machine.
  • Whether fluids are still inside.
  • Accessibility: floor level, plant room, lifting points and doorway sizes.

Removal planning

Heavy equipment often needs lifting gear, a trained crew and a plan for isolating electrical and fluid connections. Industrial machines should be isolated from power and pipework by qualified personnel before anyone touches them.
