Decommissioning and disposal
11.1 Decommissioning
Copper recovery
Some components (e.g. stator) contain a considerable amount of copper. This copper can
be recovered from the electrical insulation in a heat treatment process, which involves
gasifying the organic binding materials. To ensure that the vapors burn properly, the oven
must be equipped with a suitable afterburner. The following conditions are recommended for
heat-treating and afterburning to minimize process emissions:

NOTICE
Emissions
The emissions mainly constitute O
particles. As the operator, you are responsible for ensuring that the heat treatment process
complies with local regulations.
Anti-corrosion agent
Anti-corrosion agents that cover the surface of the motor can be removed by means of a
gasoline-based cleaning agent and a rag. Dispose of the rag in accordance with local
regulations.

Once 90% of the target temperature has been reached, the
object must be kept at that temperature for at least five hours.
850 ... 920 °C (1562 ... 1688 °F)
The binding material vapors must remain in the combustion
chamber for at least 3 seconds.
