Introduction
Bartec Varnost d.o.o.is committed to its environmental policy. Bartec Varnost d.o.o. continuously
strives to make its products more environmentally sound by applying results obtained in
recyclability and life cycle
analyses. Products, manufacturing processes and even logistics have been designed to take
environmental aspects into account. Bartec Varnost d.o.o. environmental management system,
certified to ISO 14001, is the tool for carrying out the environmental policy.
The following instructions should only be seen as recommendations for environmentally sound
disposal of machines. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that local regulations are followed.
Some customer-specific items may not be included in this User’s Manual. Additional
documentation will be found in the project documentation.
Average material content
The average material content used in the manufacturing of the electrical machine is as follows:
Cast iron frame
induction machines
Modular steel frame
induction machines
Steel 46 % 82 %
Copper 16 % 11 %
Cast iron 31 % 1 %
Plastics, rubber,
insulation materials etc. 3 % 3 %
Other 4 % 3 %
Recycling of packaging material
Once the machine has arrived on site, the packaging material will need to be removed.
• Any wood packaging can be burned
• For some countries, the packaging used for shipping by sea is made of impregnated wood that
must be recycled according to local regulations
• Plastic material around the machine can be recycled
• Any anti-corrosive agent covering the machine surface can be removed using a petrol based
detergent and a cleaning rag. The rag must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Dismantling of the machine
Dismantling the machine is a basic procedure as it is assembled with bolts. However, due to the
weight, it requires an operator trained in handling heavy components to prevent dangerous
situations.
Separation of different materials
Frame, bearing housing, covers and fan
These parts are made of structural steel, which can be recycled according to local instructions.
All the auxiliary equipment, cabling as well as bearings have to be removed before melting the
material.
Components with electrical insulation
The stator and the rotor are the main components, which include electrical insulation materials.
There are, however, auxiliary components which are constructed of similar materials and which are
hence dealt with in the same manner. This includes various insulators used in the terminal box,
