Electric Motor Scrap For Export

Tiger International supplies and exports electric motor scrap — a high-value mixed metal grade containing copper windings, aluminium components and steel casings. This material is in strong demand across recycling and export markets due to its recoverable metal content and consistent quality.

Electric motor scrap comes from end-of-life motors removed from industrial machinery, appliances, vehicles and HVAC systems. These motors are recycled to recover valuable non-ferrous and ferrous metals, primarily copper, alongside aluminium and steel.

Electric motor scrap is often sorted into categories to maximise recovery and pricing:

  • Copper-rich motors: high copper content windings.

  • Aluminium motors: motors with predominant aluminium parts

  • Mixed motors: combination of copper, aluminium and steel

  • Clean motors: free of excessive contamination and foreign materials

Electric motor scrap is widely exported to markets where copper recovery and secondary metal production remain strong. Material is typically shipped in bulk containers after sorting and preparation.
