What is the function of transformer recycling? What is the purpose of transformer recycling?
There are copper coils in the transformer. The copper inside can be obtained by disassembling the transformer. The price of copper metal is relatively high, and the copper metal inside can be sold by recycling transformers. Another use is for second-hand transformers that have expired but can still be used. Unscrupulous traders will recycle these second-hand transformers, refurbish them, label them with well-known brands, and resell them for profit. Old transformer silicon steel sheets can also be sold and recycled by KG. The price depends on the material, quantity, and quality of the silicon steel sheets. Generally, the price ranges from 3 yuan to 6.5 yuan per KG. In large quantities, we can collect them at your doorstep. Even transformer oil can be sold.
The outer casing is generally sent to a steel-making furnace for reprocessing, and there are several current transformers inside. The main materials, coils and silicon steel sheets, can also be reused. Therefore, after the transformer retires, his whole body is a treasure.
After recycling large transformers, iron cores, silicon steel sheets, copper wires and other materials can be processed to make small transformers. The insulating oil can be reused if it passes the inspection or is filtered and dehumidified. The bushing can also be reused if it meets the standards for anti-fouling and creepage distance. The tap copper rod is also very valuable.
The only function of a transformer is to make the voltage higher or lower in the power grid. As for which loads the transformed electricity is supplied to and what it is used for, it has nothing to do with the transformer, so it cannot be regarded as the purpose of the transformer. Of course, in signal systems and computer networks, transmitters are used (actually the principle of transformer), but the fundamental is to change the voltage.
Transformer recycling mainly recycles transformer materials: the windings are made of copper wire, which is very expensive and can be directly used as a raw material for copper smelting. The iron core is made of silicon steel sheets and can be recycled as scrap steel. The casing can also be recycled as scrap steel. There is also cooling oil, which can be recycled for industrial use after filtration and purification.
