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为电动汽车（EV）重型牵引应用制造高性能、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）金属制成的，但它们的环境影响被其无限回收的能力所抵消。该项目旨在研究重新使用Magtec自己的旧永磁电机的可行性，以打入并利用REE循环经济。我们的技术差距在于磁铁的退磁，测量和识别磁铁和电机状态，以便我们拆卸，重新使用和重新磁化磁铁以重复使用。赫斯特团队是磁性仪器和制造定制磁化和退磁夹具的行业专家，适用于所有当前电机拓扑结构，包括内部永磁体（IPM），表面永磁体（SPM），通过Magtec和Hirst之间的合作伙伴关系，该项目旨在研究利用Hirst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，以及从下游开始的稀土供应链循环经济的开放机会。
