Product Description

The automatic solar panel junction box removing machine is the essential first-stage pre-treatment equipment in a modern solar panel recycling plant. This equipment employs an advanced fully automated robotic arm, automatic positioning sensors, and precise hydraulic shearing technology to remove the junction box without damaging the tempered glass of the solar panels. This clean separation method prevents contamination from plastics and copper, ensuring the highest purity and value of the final recycled materials.

Working principle

This equipment is mainly used to efficiently and completely cut off or remove junction boxes that are attached to the back of photovoltaic modules：

1. Feeding & Positioning: Workers or robotic arms place the solar panels (back side up) on the conveyor belt.

2. Detection: Built-in limit sensors or CCD cameras automatically locate the precise position and height of the junction box.

3. Heating & Softening (Optional): Since junction boxes are typically bonded firmly with strong silicone or epoxy resin, some high-end models are equipped with localized infrared heating or hot air devices to instantly soften the adhesive.

4. Mechanical Peeling: Hydraulic cutting blades extend and smoothly shear the entire junction box off the EVA backing plate.

5. Discharge: The separated junction box falls into a collection bin, and the solar panels enter the next glass removal and recycling stage.

Key Features and Advantages

1. High Automation and Efficiency: Equipped with a fully automated robotic arm and automatic positioning sensors, this equipment can complete the entire peeling cycle for each solar panel within 15 to 30 seconds, significantly saving labor costs.

2. Non-destructive Peeling: The alloy peeling blade adheres tightly to the backsheet, cleanly and efficiently separating the junction box and residual silicone without breaking the glass.

3. Powerful Hydraulic System: Utilizing a high-quality hydraulic drive, it provides strong and stable cutting force, easily handling tough epoxy resin and silicone adhesives.

4. Enhanced Safety Design: A fully enclosed safety guard and emergency stop button protect operators from electric shocks caused by residual photovoltaic energy or flying debris.

5. Seamless Integration: Adopting a modular design, it can be perfectly integrated with solar panel aluminum frame removal machines and solar panel glass removal machines to form a fully automated production line.

6. Strong Compatibility: The equipment pressure, blade height, and stroke are adjustable, enabling it to adapt to various mainstream specifications, thicknesses, and adhesive types of photovoltaic modules on the market.
