PV Module Disassembly Crushing and Sorting Line

PV Module Disassembly Crushing and Sorting Line

This PV module disassembly, crushing and sorting line utilises a combination of physical and thermal processes to efficiently separate the aluminium frames, junction boxes and high-purity glass from solar panels, whilst precisely sorting out metals such as copper and silicon powder. It is a key piece of equipment for achieving the recycling of PV materials.

Automated Front-End Disassembly: Efficient Stripping of Frames and Glass

The primary stage in PV module recycling is the complete separation of the outer casing from the encapsulation materials. The semi-automatic frame and junction box disassembly machine included in this solution enables a ‘one-step’ process for simultaneously removing the aluminium frame and junction box. As it utilises manual loading, the equipment offers exceptional operational flexibility for solar panels within a specific size range.

The subsequent heated adhesive removal and glass peeling machine is central to enhancing material purity. It utilises precise temperature control technology to weaken the adhesive properties of the EVA layer, enabling the tempered glass to peel off in uniform, granular chunks. This not only significantly improves the recovery rate of glass but also prevents glass debris from contaminating the subsequent cell stream, thereby ensuring the recycling value of the downstream materials.

Refined Mid-to-Late Stage Sorting: Pure Extraction of Non-ferrous Metals and Silicon Powder

After the protective layer has been removed, the solar cells enter the cell crushing and sorting line for in-depth resource recovery. The system refines the material through multi-stage crushing and employs a combination of physical processes such as air-classification and electrostatic separation.

The key technology of this production line lies in its precision separation capabilities, enabling the high-purity enrichment of valuable non-ferrous metals—such as copper and aluminium powders—from non-metallic resins and mixed silicon powder. This multi-stage sorting process circumvents the environmental pressures associated with chemical methods, ensuring the recovery efficiency of core precious metals like copper through a low-energy, high-output physical sorting model.

It not only achieves a closed-loop recycling process for photovoltaic modules—from dismantling the casings to extracting the internal metals—but also facilitates industrial-scale PV processing that balances economic benefits with environmental standards.

Dual Shaft Shredder and Magnetic Separator for Scrap Metal Recycling

Dual Shaft Shredder and Magnetic Separator for Scrap Metal Recycling

In the fields of scrap metal recycling, UBC (used aluminium beverage cans) processing, and mixed waste sorting, an integrated system comprising a twin-shaft shredder and a belt-type magnetic separator enables continuous material shredding and metal separation. This effectively increases metal recovery rates, reduces manual sorting costs, and enhances overall processing efficiency.

Dual-shaft shredders ensure uniform shredding, improving subsequent sorting results.

One of the core components of this system is the dual-shaft shredder. Featuring a low-speed, high-torque design, the equipment utilises two sets of counter-rotating cutter shafts to shear, tear, and shred materials. It is capable of processing a wide range of materials, including used beverage cans, scrap metal packaging, wooden pallets, and mixed plastic and metal waste.

Compared to traditional single-stage shredding equipment, the twin-shaft shredder is capable of reducing large-sized materials into particles of a relatively uniform size, thereby creating stable feed conditions for subsequent magnetic separation. Uniform particle size not only helps improve the precision of metal separation but also reduces the risk of blockages during the conveying and screening stages.

Belt-type magnetic separator for automatic separation of ferrous metals

After shredding, the material enters the conveying system directly and undergoes metal separation via a belt-type magnetic separator. The equipment is fitted with a high-strength permanent magnet drum that continuously attracts ferrous materials, enabling the automatic separation of ferrous metals from non-ferrous metals, plastics, wood, and other materials.

In actual production, the magnetic separator continuously recovers steel materials, reducing the workload of manual sorting and improving processing efficiency. For projects involving the recycling of wooden pallets containing nails, the magnetic separator effectively removes iron nails from the wood; in the processing of mixed waste, it rapidly extracts magnetic metals such as scrap steel and iron sheets.

Suitable for a wide range of waste resource recovery scenarios

The combination of a twin-shaft shredder and a belt-type magnetic separator offers strong adaptability and can be widely applied in fields such as the recycling of used beverage cans, the processing of metal packaging, the recycling of wooden pallets, the processing of automotive dismantling waste, and the resource recovery of industrial solid waste.

From a resource recovery perspective, the system achieves rapid recovery of ferrous metals through the coordinated operation of front-end shredding and back-end magnetic separation, thereby improving the utilisation rate of reusable resources. At the same time, the continuous production model reduces downtime, making it suitable for large-scale operations by medium to large recycling enterprises.

Glass Cullet Crusher with Pulverizer System

Glass Cullet Crusher with Pulverizer System

The Glass Cullet Crusher with Pulveriser System processes waste glass bottles and containers through crushing, grading, and pulverisation, transforming them into glass particles of various specifications. This provides a stable source of raw materials for glass remanufacturing, the production of building materials, and the recovery of industrial raw materials.

High-Efficiency Crushing and Three-Stage Screening System

This glass crushing and pulverising equipment employs a design that combines crushing with three-stage screening. Waste glass first enters the crushing unit for preliminary processing, after which the screening system automatically separates the material into three different particle size grades. Compared to traditional single-stage crushing equipment, the graded material can proceed directly to subsequent processes, eliminating the need for secondary screening and thereby improving overall production efficiency.

In actual production, glass cullet with a uniform particle size not only improves the quality of subsequent processing but also reduces energy consumption during the melting process. Industry data indicates that, in glass recycling, the use of qualified glass cullet can effectively reduce raw material pre-treatment costs and enhance furnace production stability.

Compact Structure and Stable Processing Capacity

Despite its compact overall structure, the equipment has a processing capacity of approximately 1 tonne of waste glass bottles per hour. This means that under conditions of continuous 8-hour daily operation, a single unit can theoretically process approximately 8 tonnes of waste glass raw material, meeting the production requirements of most regional glass recycling centres and resource recovery enterprises.

The equipment’s key components feature wear-resistant designs, enabling it to cope with the high hardness and abrasive nature of glass materials. Furthermore, the crushing system can process the glass into finer particles or powder, opening up additional application possibilities in fields such as glass ceramics, building materials, and industrial fillers.

Essential Equipment for Enhancing Resource Utilisation

The value of the glass cullet crushing and grinding system lies not only in reducing material volume and facilitating transport, but more importantly in enabling the standardised processing of waste glass. Through stable particle size control and continuous production, this equipment enhances the efficiency of subsequent recycling and reuse, whilst reducing the need for manual sorting and repetitive processing stages.

For glass recycling enterprises, a system that combines crushing, grading, and pulverising functions not only boosts production efficiency but also creates a more stable raw material base for subsequent deep processing, thereby achieving a dual improvement in resource recovery and economic benefits.

E-Waste Recycling Machinery and Complete Plant Solution

E-Waste Recycling Machinery and Complete Plant Solution

The core function of electronic waste recycling equipment is to effectively separate and recover valuable metals such as copper, gold, and silver from waste PCB circuit boards, while reducing the environmental impact of hazardous substances. Through reasonable equipment combinations and process design, resource utilization can be significantly improved and labor costs reduced.

PCB Pre-processing Equipment: A Crucial Link in Improving Subsequent Recycling Efficiency

Electronic waste recycling typically begins with the dismantling of PCB components. Waste circuit boards often contain a large number of electronic components such as capacitors, resistors, chips, interfaces, and connectors, which typically account for 20% to 40% of the total weight of the circuit board.

PCB component dismantling machines use a combination of heating and mechanical vibration to quickly detach components soldered onto the circuit board. Compared to manual dismantling, this equipment can operate continuously, significantly improving processing efficiency while avoiding metal loss due to forceful dismantling.

After component removal, the copper foil layer and substrate structure in the circuit board can enter the subsequent crushing process more evenly, improving not only the stability of equipment operation but also the accuracy of subsequent metal sorting. The dismantled electronic components can be further classified and recycled according to type, increasing the overall economic value.

PCB Crushing and Sorting Production Line: Achieving Efficient Separation of Copper and Non-metallic Materials

Pre-treated circuit boards enter the PCB crushing and sorting system. This production line typically consists of a shredder, hammer mill, grinding equipment, air classifier, electrostatic separator, and dust removal system.

The equipment first progressively crushes the circuit boards to millimeter-sized particles, then separates them based on differences in density, conductivity, and aerodynamic properties. After multi-stage sorting, the copper recovery rate can typically reach over 95%, with some optimized processes even approaching 98%.

The copper content in waste circuit boards is generally between 15% and 30%, far exceeding the average copper grade of less than 1% in natural copper ore. Therefore, from a resource utilization perspective, PCBs are referred to in the industry as “urban mines.” Mechanical and physical sorting technology not only reduces chemical processing steps but also lowers wastewater and exhaust emissions, aligning with the modern trend of environmentally friendly recycling.

Precious Metal Extraction Systems: Enhancing the Recycling Value of Electronic Waste

For high-value materials such as circuit boards, CPUs, gold fingers, and electronic connectors, simply recycling copper and basic metals often fails to fully realize their economic value.

Precious metal extraction systems are primarily used to recover precious metal resources such as gold, silver, and palladium. After gold layer removal, precious metal enrichment, and refining processes, the overall recycling revenue can be further increased. For example, the gold content of some server circuit boards and communication equipment circuit boards is often much higher than that of ordinary consumer electronics products; therefore, precious metal recycling has become an important source of profit for many electronic waste processing companies.

A complete electronic waste recycling plant typically integrates PCB dismantling equipment, crushing and sorting equipment, and precious metal extraction systems to achieve continuous production from waste circuit boards to metal resource recovery. Compared to single-equipment processing models, the complete plant solution reduces material handling steps, increases automation, and effectively controls operating costs.

The 18650 battery recycling production line utilises processes such as crushing, pyrolysis, and sorting to effectively separate materials such as black powder, steel casings, copper, and aluminium. This not only reduces the risks associated with the treatment of waste batteries but also improves the recovery rate of valuable metal resources.

18650 Lithium Battery Recycling Machine

18650 Lithium Battery Recycling Machine

Crushing and Pyrolysis System: Enabling Safe Pre-treatment of Batteries

The internal structure of 18650 lithium-ion batteries with iron casings is complex, comprising the iron casing, electrolyte, separator, copper foil, aluminium foil, and active materials for the positive and negative electrodes. Before entering the sorting process, safe pre-treatment is required.

The production line first utilises specialised crushing equipment to reduce the volume of waste batteries. A low-speed, high-torque design is employed to minimise safety risks during the crushing process. The crushed material is fed into the pyrolysis system, where the electrolyte, organic binders, and separator materials are treated under controlled temperature conditions. The pyrolysis process not only reduces the difficulty of subsequent sorting but also helps to improve the purity of the black powder.

Following pyrolysis, the bonding strength between the internal active materials and the metal components of the battery is significantly reduced, creating the conditions for efficient separation in subsequent stages.

Multi-stage Sorting System: Obtaining High-Purity Recycled Products

The pyrolysed material proceeds to the multi-stage sorting phase. Based on the physical properties of different materials, the production line employs processes such as magnetic separation, air classification, and fine screening for classification and recovery.

Iron casing material is prioritised for recovery via the magnetic separation system, yielding pure iron; copper and aluminium foils are separated utilising differences in density and electrical conductivity; and the positive and negative electrode powders are collected to form a high-value black powder product.

With appropriate process configuration, the production line can effectively separate black powder, iron casings, copper, and aluminium. The black powder contains important metallic elements such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese, serving as a key raw material source for subsequent hydrometallurgical extraction. High-purity metal products can be directly fed into downstream recycling processes, thereby enhancing the overall value of resource recovery.

Compared to traditional, crude processing methods, this equipment integrates crushing, pyrolysis, and sorting through a continuous process, reducing manual intervention and improving operational stability. It is also equipped with dust removal and exhaust gas treatment systems, meeting the environmental protection and resource recovery requirements of the modern battery recycling industry.

High-Efficiency Solar Panel Recycling Machinery from China

High-Efficiency Solar Panel Recycling Machinery from China

As the number of decommissioned photovoltaic modules continues to rise, solar panel recycling equipment is gradually shifting from simple dismantling towards automation, large-scale operations, and high recovery rates. The photovoltaic panel recycling production line developed by SUNY GROUP, featuring an automated feeding system with robotic arms, can effectively improve processing efficiency, reduce labour costs, and ensure the stable sorting and recovery of aluminium frames, glass, silicon powder, and plastic materials.

Automated feeding system enhances overall line efficiency

In traditional solar panel recycling processes, manual handling and feeding have always been critical factors affecting efficiency and safety. This equipment utilises a robotic arm-based automatic gripping and feeding system, which can continuously convey waste solar panels, reducing the risks associated with manual contact with broken glass and sharp frame edges, whilst ensuring a more stable feeding rhythm.

Depending on the equipment model, the production line offers two processing capacity options: 50–60 panels per hour and 1,000–1,500 kg per hour, making it suitable for both small and medium-sized recycling centres and large-scale photovoltaic module processing projects. The total power range of the equipment is 240 kW–390 kW, capable of meeting continuous production requirements.

Compared to conventional manual feeding methods, the greatest advantage of automated feeding lies not merely in labour savings, but in the reduction of material jams, misalignment, and equipment idling, which has a significant impact on the stability of subsequent crushing and sorting processes.

The multi-stage sorting structure enables efficient material recovery

The entire solar panel recycling line primarily comprises processes such as frame removal, crushing, pulverisation, air classification, and material recovery. The equipment first dismantles the frames of the photovoltaic modules to separate the aluminium; the modules then enter the crushing system for preliminary processing of the glass and backsheet; finally, the fine crushing and air classification systems further separate materials such as copper, plastic, and silicon powder.

Due to the complex internal material structure of photovoltaic modules, simple crushing alone rarely achieves high purity; therefore, the production line typically employs a multi-stage sorting process to improve the recovery rates of different materials. In particular, the separation of glass and lightweight plastics places high demands on airflow control and discharge uniformity; this is also the primary reason why the sorting performance of many lower-specification machines becomes unstable over time.

In actual recycling operations, aluminium frames and glass usually account for the majority of the module’s total weight, whilst silicon powder and metallic materials directly impact the recovery value; consequently, a stable sorting system is more important than simply increasing the crushing speed.

Equipment is better suited to continuous recycling projects

In terms of equipment dimensions, large models can reach lengths of over 10 metres, making them typical examples of continuous industrial recycling equipment. Such equipment is better suited to long-term, stable operation rather than short-term, intermittent production.

For the photovoltaic recycling industry, future competition will focus not merely on ‘whether recycling is possible’, but on energy consumption per unit, material purity, and labour cost control. The higher the level of automation, the more pronounced the operational advantages will be in the long term. Particularly against the backdrop of rising labour costs overseas, solar panel recycling equipment equipped with robotic automatic feeding systems has gradually become a key configuration for large-scale recycling projects.

If you require information on equipment specifications, process flows, or different capacity configuration options, please feel free to contact us at any time. We can further tailor a suitable recycling system based on the specific characteristics of your raw materials.

Paper-Plastic/Tetra Pak Separation and Recycling Machine

Paper-Plastic/Tetra Pak Separation and Recycling Machine

The core function of the paper-plastic/Tetra Pak separation and recycling machine is to effectively separate paper fibres, plastic, and aluminium layers from waste Tetra Pak cartons, paper-plastic composite packaging, and similar materials, thereby enabling resource reuse. Compared to traditional landfill or incineration methods, this type of equipment is more in line with current environmental recycling trends; it not only reduces the cost of processing waste packaging but also increases the recycling value of pulp and plastic. It is particularly suitable for recycling plants, paper mills, and environmental treatment companies.

Working Principle and Core Structure of Paper-Plastic Separation Equipment

The paper-plastic separation and recycling production line is primarily designed to process multi-layer composite packaging materials such as milk cartons, beverage cartons, and Tetra Pak cartons. These materials are typically composed of paper fibres, PE plastic, and a small amount of aluminium foil; whilst traditional shredding makes direct sorting difficult, the paper-plastic separator achieves separation through a combination of wet pulping and mechanical screening.

Paper-Plastic/Tetra Pak Separation and Recycling Machine

Paper-Plastic/Tetra Pak Separation and Recycling Machine

The complete system generally comprises a hydraulic feeder, a hydraulic pulper, a vibrating screen, a screw conveyor, dewatering equipment, and a plastic collection system. During production, waste packaging first enters the hydraulic pulping system. Under high-speed rotation and the impact of water flow, the paper fibres are rapidly dispersed to form pulp, whilst the plastic and aluminium layers are retained due to their structural differences. They are then subjected to secondary separation via the screening system.

The hydro-pulper is the core component of the entire production line. The rotor speed, pulping concentration, and processing time of the equipment directly affect the pulp recovery rate. In actual production, high-quality equipment typically achieves a paper fibre recovery rate of over 90%, whilst effectively reducing residual plastic fibres.

WOperational Characteristics and Practical Value

Compared to traditional manual disassembly methods, automated paper-plastic separation production lines offer more consistent processing efficiency. Small to medium-sized production lines can process several hundred kilograms to several tonnes of composite packaging waste per hour, making them suitable for continuous operation.

The greatest value of such equipment lies not only in ‘separation’ but also in enhancing the efficiency of resource utilisation downstream. The processed pulp can be reused in the production of recycled paper products, whilst the separated plastic-aluminium mixture can be further processed into plastic pellets or recycled into aluminium-plastic composite panels. For recycling enterprises, the stability of the equipment is often more important than mere output, as excessive impurity levels in the pulp directly affect the quality of the subsequent recycled paper.

Furthermore, the equipment’s water consumption and wastewater recycling capacity are also critical. Most mature paper-plastic separation systems are now equipped with water recycling systems, which not only reduce wastewater discharge during production but also lower long-term operating costs.

As global demands for the recycling of composite packaging increase, low-value waste such as Tetra Pak cartons is gradually being transformed into reusable resources. Particularly in regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America, the recycled paper industry’s demand for waste pulp continues to grow, driving the expansion of the paper-plastic separation equipment market. What truly determines profitability is no longer the volume of waste processed, but rather the consistent recovery of high-quality pulp and reusable plastics.

Small Production Line for Recycling Electronic Boards

Small Production Line for Recycling Electronic Boards

For small and medium-sized electronic waste recycling enterprises, a PCB recycling line with a capacity of 100 kg/h not only lowers the threshold for equipment investment but is also better suited for phased implementation and flexible operation. It can be utilized to process a wide variety of electronic waste, including computer motherboards, communication boards, and appliance control boards.

This 100 kg/h PCB recycling production line primarily consists of two components: a thermal dismantling system and a physical separation system. Of these, the thermal dismantling equipment plays a decisive role in determining the efficiency of the subsequent separation process.

The PCB thermal dismantling machine employs natural gas heating to maintain a stable internal furnace temperature of approximately 400°C. This temperature is not arbitrary; it is determined by a balance between the solder’s melting point on the circuit boards and the substrate material’s heat resistance. Most electronic circuit boards use tin-based solder; once the solder reaches its melting point, the electronic components detach from the PCB substrate. Simultaneously, this process avoids the severe oxidation of copper foil that would otherwise result from high-temperature incineration.

Compared to traditional manual dismantling, the thermal dismantling method offers more consistent processing efficiency, making it particularly well-suited for the batch processing of electronic waste. For small-scale recycling facilities, this method also serves to minimize human exposure to hazardous dust, thereby enhancing operational safety.

Once the thermal dismantling process is complete, the remaining PCB substrates proceed to the crushing and separation stage.

This section typically comprises a coarse crusher, a fine crusher, an airflow separator, an electrostatic separator, and a dust collection system. Through a multi-stage crushing process, the equipment gradually reduces the circuit board materials to a particle size suitable for separation, subsequently utilizing the differences in weight, electrical conductivity, and aerodynamic properties between metallic and non-metallic components to effect separation.

Among these components, the electrostatic separation equipment exerts a significant influence on the purity of the recovered copper powder. A stable electric field intensity, combined with a uniform feed rate, effectively enhances the separation efficiency between the copper and the resin powder. Under normal operating conditions, a small-scale PCB physical separation line can achieve a high level of copper recovery purity, while the non-metallic fraction is transformed into a resin fiber powder that can be utilized as filler material in construction or as a raw material for recycled composite materials.

Compared to large-scale electronic waste processing plants, the compact 100 kg/h PCB recycling production line is better aligned with the current market landscape, which is characterized by a large volume of geographically dispersed electronic waste.

On one hand, this small-to-medium-scale equipment occupies a smaller footprint and imposes less stringent requirements on factory infrastructure; on the other hand, its operating costs and energy consumption are relatively manageable, making it an ideal entry-level project for those looking to venture into the electronic waste recycling industry. Particularly in developing countries and regions with concentrated electronics manufacturing, small-scale PCB recycling equipment is more conducive to establishing stable recycling networks.
