Aluminum alloy frames account for approximately 15%–18% of the total weight of spent photovoltaic (PV) modules, offering significant economic value for direct recycling. Removing these frames is a crucial first step in the overall PV module recycling process.
The PV panel frame removal machine developed by SUNYGROUP is becoming the ideal pre-processing equipment for PV recycling companies worldwide, thanks to its high separation efficiency, compatibility with a wide range of panel sizes, and excellent return on investment.
To address the challenge posed by the high-strength silicone sealant used inside the frames, the machine employs a unique design featuring specialized cutting tools and pushing claws. This design enables the powerful stripping of the aluminum frame while maximizing the integrity of the internal PV laminate; it prevents the tempered glass from shattering or scattering and ensures the recovered aluminum is clean and free of impurities, thereby directly increasing its resale value.
Requiring only two workers for loading and unloading, the semi-automatic machine offers low investment costs, a compact footprint, and high flexibility, making it an excellent choice for recycling enterprises with small-to-medium daily processing volumes or limited budgets.
