In the recycling process of photovoltaic panels, the disassembly of the aluminum frame and glass is a crucial step. Proper operation not only helps improve material recycling rates but also reduces safety risks during the process.

In the removal of the aluminum frame from the photovoltaic panel, the common method is to first remove the frame's fixing structure and then separate the aluminum frame from the glass layer. Relying solely on manual operation may be inefficient, and the aluminum is prone to deformation, affecting subsequent reuse. At this point, using aluminum frame disassembly machine with positioning and cutting functions can help to smoothly separate the connecting parts, maintaining the integrity of the aluminum frame and facilitating subsequent recycling processing.

Next is the removal of the photovoltaic panel glass layer. The adhesion between the glass and the internal materials is usually quite strong; improper handling can lead to breakage, posing safety hazards and reducing recycling value. The ideal approach is to use controlled separation technology to allow the glass to detach from the underlying material relatively completely.

For large-scale photovoltaic (PV) panel recycling operations, manually disassembling aluminum frames and glass often fails to meet efficiency and safety requirements. In such cases, specialized equipment with a rational structure and stable operation can provide significant assistance. For example, DOING's specially designed PV panel aluminum frame removal machine and glass removal machine feature adjustable operating parameters to adapt to the processing needs of solar panels of different sizes.

Through fully automated solar panel disassembly and recycling process, high efficiency is ensured while prioritizing material protection, aiming to improve the recyclability of aluminum frames and glass from PV panels.

Photovoltaic Panel Aluminum Frame Removal Machine: Fast Removal, Doubled Efficiency

In DOING's solar panel recycling machine, the aluminum frame remover uses intelligent recognition technology to accurately identify the frame position of the PV panel, performing fast and accurate frame removal. It can process the aluminum frames of 50-60 photovoltaic modules in half an hour, significantly improving recycling efficiency. This intelligent and innovative design not only reduces manual operation time but also lowers the risk of damage to photovoltaic module materials, laying a solid foundation for subsequent recycling processes.

Photovoltaic Panel Glass Removal Machine: Dual-Effect Combination, Precise Glass Removal

The whole glass separation technology is the core of DOING's glass removal machine, consisting of two main parts: heating and crushing. The heating section effectively softens the EVA adhesive in the module through precise temperature control, allowing the glass to easily separate from the plastic backsheet; the crushing section then thoroughly removes the photovoltaic panel glass, ensuring the purity of the recycled material. This dual-effect combination ensures complete separation of glass from the photovoltaic module while protecting other materials from damage.

In addition, DOING also offers complete solar panel recycling production line. Building upon aluminum frame dismantling and glass removal machines, these lines further integrate multi-stage conveying, material sorting, and environmental dust removal modules, all coordinated through PLC automated control system. This recycling line design emphasizes process continuity and stability, aiming to achieve continuous operation from photovoltaic panel input to the classified recycling of various materials (aluminum, copper, glass, and silicon), while also considering environmental requirements during the processing.
