sourcing and products design to improve
recyclability and diminish our footprint.
These instructions are for information
purposes only. It is the user responsibility to
comply with local legislation regarding
product disposal and recycling.
Recyclable materials
Our alternators are mainly built out of 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 depar-
tment can provide detailed directions on
products dismounting upon request.
Waste & hazardous materials

The following components and materials
need a special treatment and need to 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
(199) 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
plastic type information.
All materials listed above need special
treatment to separate waste from
reclaimable material and should be handed
to specialized disposal companies.
