How to Recycle Photovoltaic Panels from A to Z

Photovoltaic panel recycling equipment uses specific technology to separate and recycle various valuable materials in waste photovoltaic panels, achieving both economic and environmental benefits. And it is widely favored by investors and has become a popular investment project. When investors purchase related equipment, they will want to know what its recycling process is.

Top mechanical solar panel recycling solution

The mechanical photovoltaic panel recycling and processing equipment consists of multiple parts such as frame removal machine, glass removal machine, crushing and separation system, etc.

Fully automatic frame removing machine

Aluminum frame removal machine

The frame removal machine is responsible for separating the aluminum frame around the photovoltaic panel. And you can collect and sell the separated aluminum frame. YUSHUNXIN’s frame removal machine has no restrictions on the specifications and damage degree of various photovoltaic panels. So, it can process photovoltaic panels of various forms, regardless of their size or degree of damage, they can be effectively processed.

Photovoltaic panel glass removing machine

linear vibrating separator working principle

The glass removal machine is responsible for separating the solar cell and the glass panel. And it can separate the glass particles through the heating module and the scraping module. Our glass removal machine is fully automated, with a glass removal rate of up to 98%. Moreover, most of the glass obtained is glass particles with higher market prices, rather than powder.

Mechanical solar panels crushing and separation line

Crushing and separation system

Crushing and separation system is responsible for crushing, grinding and multi-stage screening of the remaining photovoltaic panel waste to separate useful materials such as aluminum frames, glass particles, copper, plastic, silicon, etc. And our multi-stage screening uses gravity separation, electrostatics separation and other methods to finely separate various products, with a separation rate of up to 99%. After proper treatment, such as refining, purification, reprocessing, etc., these materials can be put on the market again for the manufacture of new photovoltaic products or other electronic devices.

Solar panel pyrolysis plant for sufficient budget preparation

If you have enough budget, the photovoltaic panel pyrolysis production line is the best choice. It is an efficient process that recycles glass, silicon, silver, aluminum, copper and other materials in photovoltaic modules through high-temperature pyrolysis and physical separation technology.

This process includes frame removing, glass removal and shredding. And the first shredding can grind solar panels into 5-10cm; the second crushing can crush them 1-3cm. The finer the crushing, the better the pyrolysis effect.

It heats the photovoltaic panels in a high-temperature, oxygen-free environment to a temperature of 600°C. At this time, the EVA glue decomposes into gaseous organic matter, and you need to carry out additional treatment for the remaining debris that has not turned into gas.

You can use a vibrating screener (cylindrical screen or linear screen) to separate silicon, glass, and a mixture of glass and copper. Then the glass and copper mixture is separated by a color sorter. Repeat the process for the unseparated ones.

No matter which method you choose to recycle solar panels from A to Z, you need to know the advantage of photovoltaic panel recycling machines.

solar panel disposal number one

High working efficiency

A photovoltaic panel recycling equipment can process 500kg-2000kg of waste photovoltaic panels per hour. This means that a large number of waste solar panels can be processed in a short time, which improves the recycling and processing efficiency. For customers who face a large number of waste photovoltaic panel processing needs, it is undoubtedly a very advantageous feature.

solar panel disposal number two

Extremely long service life

Solar panel recycling machines uses more durable materials and more advanced manufacturing processes, making its service life longer.

solar panel disposal number three

Safe and environmentally friendly

Photovoltaic panel disposal plant uses physical crushing and separation technology to recycle solar panels without secondary pollution, even if you choose the pyrolysis method. In addition, our equipment is equipped with cyclone dust collectors and pulse dust collectors to effectively suppress dust volatilization and meet environmental protection requirements.
