13.2.2 

Disposing of 1FW6 rotors 

Disposing of and demagnetizing 1FW6 rotors 

The magnetized rotors must be subject to a special thermal disposal procedure so that they 

do not pose any risk during or after disposal. For this reason, they must be disposed of by a 

specialist disposal company. 
Once the motor has been dismantled, the rotors must be packaged individually in the 

undamaged original packaging in accordance with the relevant guidelines. 

 

DANGER 

 

Due to the strong magnetic fields, unpacked rotors can cause personal and/or material 

damage. 
Read the safety information provided in this documentation. 

 

 

Demagnetizing the rotors 

Disposal companies who specialize in demagnetization use special disposal furnaces. The 

interior of the disposal furnace is made of non-magnetic material. 
The secondary sections are placed inside a solid, heat-resistant container (such as a 

skeleton container), which is made of non-magnetic material and left in the furnace during 

the entire demagnetization procedure. The temperature in the furnace must be at least 

300°C over a holding time of at least 30 minutes. 
Escaping gases must be collected and decontaminated without damaging the environment. 

13.2.3 

Disposal of packaging 

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)
