01
Relevant feedstock
NdFeB and SmCo magnets, magnet swarf, voice-coil assemblies, motor and generator magnets, and production scrap. The relevant boundary is loose, coated or bonded magnets versus installed magnet modules and mixed metallic assemblies. Typical source sectors include electric mobility, wind energy, electronics, robotics and medical imaging. A useful description records physical form, condition, origin, visible markings, coatings, attachments and separation within the lot. Components, residues, powders, liquids and composite structures should not be presented as equivalent feedstock. Naming a form does not confirm acceptance or suitability for a particular recovery route.
02
Classification and sorting
Classification records the material family, visible form, condition, origin and markings as separate facts. For NdFeB, SmCo, alloy, coating, carrier material or removable attachments may affect the next review step.
03
Process
Relevant technical steps may include document magnet type, coating and adhesive, consider liberation, review demagnetisation needs, and distinguish short-loop from long-loop routes. The method boundary is clear: short-loop and long-loop are technical options, not an availability commitment for a specific lot. Safe handling, interfering materials, waste classification and available records are reviewed before further classification. Markings or screening results do not provide representative evidence for a heterogeneous lot. Sampling, analysis, collection, treatment and a process route are not assumed; each requires separate agreement and a method suited to the specific material.
04
Logistics and transfer
Logistics for this specialist topic depend on material type, condition, packaging, potential hazards and waste classification. For sites in Metal recycling for industrial sectors, Rare earth recovery and recycling, Industrial scrap and residue recycling, Electronics and component recycling, EV motor and magnet assembly recycling, the consignor, origin, proposed handover method and available supporting information should be clarified early.
05
Individual assessment
Assessment for this specialist topic is specific to the material actually offered.
06
Next steps
For a no-obligation enquiry, describe the lot as specifically as possible. Useful details include photographs, estimated scale, condition, origin, markings, country of storage and information about the generating process.
