Solar Panel Recycling Plant

Photovoltaic panels are made up of a variety of materials, including glass, aluminium frames, plastic encapsulants and silicon wafers. Due to the complexity of the materials and the tight integration of the parts, dismantling and recycling is difficult. The valuable materials contained in PV panels (e.g. aluminium, copper, silver and silicon) have a high recycling potential, but extracting and separating these materials requires specialised technical equipment. In addition, PV panels may contain toxic substances such as lead and cadmium, which can be harmful to the environment if not handled properly. Therefore, safe and efficient recycling equipment is key to the PV panel recycling process.
Different types of equipment perform key tasks at different stages of the PV panel recycling process, from pre-processing and material separation to fining and glass extraction. The role of the main equipment is briefly described below:

This equipment automatically dismantles the various parts in a PV panel, removing and separating the power box, aluminium frame and glass by automatically identifying and separating the different materials, which greatly improves processing efficiency and reduces safety risks.

Crushing equipment:Crushers are used to break PV panels into smaller pieces for easy subsequent processing. Physical crushing first separates the glass, plastic and metal materials in the panels, reducing manual handling and complexity.

Material separation equipment:After pre-processing, the core aspect of recycling is fine material separation, which aims to separate different types of valuable materials.Metal recycling equipment:

PV panels contain large amounts of recyclable metals such as copper, silver and aluminium. Metal recovery equipment physically or chemically extracts these metals from the waste to ensure they can be reused. This equipment typically
