Price of Old Electric Motors

Electric motors are used to power devices or machines and are extremely common in household appliances. Examples include: vacuum cleaners, VCRs, washing machines, hair dryers, computers, cameras, and much more. Electric motors are also widely used in industrial applications. Among other things, they are used to drive (water) pumps, compressors, (hoisting) cranes, fans, air purification systems, and similar equipment.

Value of Old Electric Motors

At first glance, old electric motors may not seem valuable, but they certainly contain valuable materials that can be effectively recycled. An electric motor consists of components such as copper, aluminum , and steel—metals that are still worth money, even after years of use. Recycling isn’t just good for the environment; it’s also good for your wallet. At Krommenhoek Metals, you’ll receive a fair price for your old electric motor, based on current market prices for metals.
