Disposal and recycling
instructions
We are committed to limiting the
environmental impact of our activity. We
continuously monitor our production
processes, material sourcing and product
design to improve recyclability and minimise
our environmental footprint.
These instructions are for information
purposes only. It is the user’s responsibility
to comply with local legislation regarding
product disposal and recycling.
Recyclable materials
Our alternators are mainly constructed from
iron, steel and copper materials, which can
be reclaimed for recycling purposes.
These materials can be reclaimed through a
combination of manual dismantling,
mechanical separation and melting
processes. Our technical support depart-
ment can provide detailed directions on how
to dismantle products on request.
Waste & hazardous materials
The following components and materials
require special treatment and must be
separated from the alternator before the
recycling process:
- electronic materials found in the terminal
box, including the automatic voltage
regulator (198), current transformers (176),
interference suppression module and other
semi-conductors.
- diode bridge (343) and surge suppressor
(347), found on the alternator rotor.
- major plastic components, such as the
terminal box structure on some products.
These components are usually marked with
information concerning the type of plastic.
All materials listed above need special
treatment to separate waste from
reclaimable materials and should be
entrusted to specialist recycling companies.
The oil and grease from the lubrication
system should be treated as hazardous
waste and must be treated in accordance
with local legislation.
Our alternators have a specified lifetime of
20 years. After this period, the operation of
the product should be stopped, regardless
of its condition. Any further operation after
this period will be under the sole responsi-
bility of the user.
