At Ivory Phar Inc., we pride ourselves as a leading and trusted supplier of scrap metals, with a strong focus on starter scrap motors and alternators. Our company continuously supplies high-quality scrap materials that are essential for recycling industries worldwide, and we are actively seeking potential buyers across the globe.
Each year, nearly 8 million cars are scrapped in the United States alone, and processing these end-of-life vehicles generates a significant volume of valuable metals. There are two main methods of scrap vehicle processing. The first method involves shredding, where automobiles—after removing radiators, batteries, engines, gas tanks, and seats—are broken down into fist-sized fragments. These are then magnetically separated to produce both ferrous scrap and non-magnetic fractions. The second method relies on manual dismantling, where nonferrous, steel, and cast iron components are carefully removed from burned or unburned vehicles, followed by baling or shearing of the stripped hulks.
In both methods, starter motors and alternators are generally removed due to their high recycling value. Historically, generators were more common, but since the late 1960s, alternators have become the standard in automobiles, gradually shifting the balance of scrap material available. Today, it is estimated that scrapped starters, generators, and alternators collectively yield over 20,000 tons of copper and 130,000 tons of iron annually—critical raw materials for various manufacturing sectors.
With the adoption of advanced incineration and dismantling technologies, scrap processors are now achieving greater efficiency and sustainability in recovery operations. At Ivory Phar Inc., we ensure that our scrap supply chain aligns with these modern practices, making us a reliable partner for recyclers and industries worldwide.
If you are a trader, recycler, or manufacturer seeking a consistent and reliable source of starter motor and alternator scrap, Ivory Phar Inc. is here to serve your needs with professionalism and commitment.
