Magtec manufactures high performance, high-value motors for electric vehicle (EV) heavy traction applications. A key step in motor production is magnetisation of permanent magnets. While many magnets are produced from non-renewable rare earth element (REE) metals, their environmental impact is offset by their ability to be infinitely recycled.This project looks to investigate the feasibility of re-using Magtec's own, old permanent magnet motors, to break into and exploit the REE circular economy. Our technology gap lies in the demagnetisation of magnets, measuring and identifying magnets and motor condition, in order for us to disassemble, repurpose, and remagnetise our magnets for reuse.The Hirst team are industrial experts in magnetic instrumentation and manufacturing bespoke magnetising and demagnetising fixtures for all current motor topologies, including Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM), Surface Permanent Magnet (SPM), and Axial flux designs.Through a collaborative partnership between Magtec and Hirst, this project aims to study the feasibility of demagnetising Magtec's old motors for repurpose using technical know-how and capability developed from Hirst, and open opportunities in the circular economy of REE supply chain nucleating from downstream.

Magtec 生产用于电动汽车 (EV) 重牵引应用的高性能、高价值电机。电机生产的关键步骤是永磁体的磁化。虽然许多磁铁是由不可再生的稀土元素 (REE) 金属生产的，但其对环境的影响可以通过其无限回收的能力来抵消。该项目旨在研究重复使用 Magtec 自己的旧永磁电机的可行性，以闯入并开发稀土元素循环经济。我们的技术差距在于磁体的消磁、测量和识别磁体和电机状况，以便我们能够拆卸、重新利用和重新磁化我们的磁体以供重复使用。赫斯特团队是磁性仪器和制造定制磁化和消磁夹具的行业专家适用于所有当前的电机拓扑，包括内部永磁体 (IPM)、表面永磁体 (SPM) 和轴向磁通设计。通过 Magtec 和 Hirst 之间的合作伙伴关系，该项目旨在研究利用赫斯特开发的技术知识和能力对 Magtec 的旧电机进行消磁以重新利用的可行性，并为以下游为核心的稀土元素供应链循环经济开辟机遇。
