Complete Solar Recycling SolutionTo maximize the ROI (Return on Investment) of your recycling business, we recommend connecting this equipment into a complete Solar Panel Recycling Plant:

Step 1: Component Pre-disassembly: Automated disassembly equipment is used to remove the aluminum alloy frame and back junction box of the waste photovoltaic panels.

Step 2: Mechanical Glass Peeling: Using a glass remover or blade rolling technology, the tempered glass on the surface is peeled off from the internal laminates. This typically removes about 70%-80% of the broken glass from the panel surface.

Step 3: Crushing and Shredding: The pre-treated photovoltaic panels (with aluminum frames and glass removed) first enter a twin-shaft crusher and are torn into strips. Then, the material enters a shredder and is shredded into small pieces of 1-2 cm.

Step 4. Grinding and Air Separation: These fine materials are fed into a fine grinder under negative pressure. Our fine grinder is equipped with a return system to recover any particles that do not meet size requirements. Qualified materials then enter an air separator, where the difference in density between the materials separates the lightweight plastics (EVA, backsheet) from the heavier silicon powder.

Step 5. High-Precision Physical Sorting: The mixture of plastics and trace metals is fed into an electrostatic separator. Electrostatic separators efficiently separate metal particles from plastic debris based on differences in conductivity. This efficient step ensures the precise separation and recycling of pure plastics and high-purity metals, ultimately yielding high-quality products.

Step 6. Silver Extraction from Silicon Powder: Silver and silicon (99.99% purity) are extracted from silicon powder through a precious metals refinery.
