Home Appliances Solar Panel Recycling Photovoltaic Cell Crushing Separating Plant
Now that solar has been a widespread, mainstream source of energy for a few decades, many solar panels are reaching the end of their lifetimes. Ideally, we'd want these clean energy technologies, which have played a huge role in slowing the pace of climate change, to be just as benign when they're done harvesting the power of the sun.
Product Description
Can solar panels be recycled?
Yes, but it's a money-losing enterprise. Boosting recycling rates will take a mix of new solar panel designs, recycling technologies, and policy.
2.5% of all homes in the U.S. will have solar installation. New homes install PV within the initial building plans. Large solar farms are providing power to the power grid. Panels are used to provide power computers, mobile phones, household devices, cars, trucks and Power Supply Units in facility management. Installations vary in size from a couple of panels on residential home to a complete commercial solar farm, covering acres of ground.designed around the safe recovery, transportation and processing of Photovoltaic equipment (PV), or Solar Panels.
In the recycling of solar photovoltaic equipment, crushing is the core pretreatment step for achieving efficient separation and recycling of materials. Photovoltaic modules are composed of various materials such as glass, aluminum frames, silicon wafers, EVA films, and back sheets. They have a dense structure and complex composition. Different types of crushers need to be used in combination to gradually disassemble the modules and separate the materials, laying the foundation for subsequent sorting (such as physical sorting and chemical purification).
Product Parameters
Able to safely recycle the following PV equipment:
PV modules (mono or polycrystalline, shingle-type, etc.)
Inverters or microinverters
Racking equipment or trackers
Recycling a solar panel can be broken down into three basic steps:
Remove the frame and junction box (a mechanical process)
Separate the glass from the silicon wafer (a thermal, mechanical or chemical process)
Separate and purify the silicon and various metals (a chemical and electrical process)

Working Process
What Happens When a Solar Panel is Recycled?
Solar panel recycling requires careful handling of these different components. Glass, silicon, metal, and plastic need to be separated and reused as much as possible. The entire process takes time and expertise because there are different steps to prevent contamination and safely dismantle the panel into raw components.
Solar Panel Crushing and Sorting
1.Shredding: Use a shredder to shred the solar back panel after removing the aluminum frame and glass.
2. Crushing: The shredded materials enter the crusher to separate the battery cells, back plates and metal.
3. Grinding: The crushed materials enter the mill and are ground into uniform particles.
4. Screening: The ground material enters the screening machine to separate the EVA and the backing plate, and first collect the silver silicon powder.
5. Magnetic Separation: Use a magnetic separator to screen out the ferrous metals in the remaining materials.
6. Specific Gravity Sorting: The remaining materials enter the specific gravity sorting machine to sort out EVA glue and pure copper particles respectively.
7. Dust Removal: Each of our production lines will be equipped with dust removal equipment to avoid environmental pollution during the recycling process.

FAQ
What types of frames is the frame dismantling machine mainly used for?
It is mainly used to dismantle metal frames (such as iron and steel frames) of equipment like copper-aluminum water tanks, air conditioner outdoor units, and waste home appliances. It is especially suitable for removing welded or riveted fixed frames to prepare for subsequent material separation.
What is the dismantling efficiency of the frame dismantling machine?
A conventional model can dismantle 3-5 frames per minute, with specific efficiency depending on the frame size and connection strength. Compared with manual dismantling, the efficiency is increased by 5-8 times, significantly reducing labor input.
Will the internal materials be damaged during the frame dismantling process?
No. The equipment uses precise positioning and hydraulic/mechanical shearing technology, applying force only to the frame connection parts, which can avoid damaging core materials such as copper and aluminum inside and ensure the purity of subsequent recycling.
