PV panel aluminum frame removal machine: allowing decommissioned components to "start afresh with a lighter load"

#Industry ·2025-11-28

Under the "Double Carbon" wave, millions of photovoltaic panels are gradually being installed on rooftops and barren slopes. They convert sunlight into electricity, but also quietly leave a puzzle for the future: After 25 years, when the components age, how will the heavy aluminum frames "break up" gently with the glass and battery cells? At this moment, the photovoltaic panel aluminum frame removal machine is like a patient surgeon, starting its first performance in the recycling workshop.   It may not look impressive—just a 10-meter-long steel frame—but it hides the wisdom of "strength and flexibility in harmony". The conveyor belt delivers the retired components to the workstation. Six laser probes first scan the thickness and feed the data to the servo motor. Then, the hidden alloy blades probe into the frame seams and perform cold cutting with a precision of just 0.2 millimeters, with the aluminum chips being instantly sucked away by negative pressure. In one minute, the aluminum frame of a 1.2-square-meter panel is completely removed, like taking off an old coat, with the glass panel intact. In the past, it took four workers half an hour of violent hammering, but now it only requires one person to press a button.   What's more impressive is its "meticulous attention to every detail" in terms of economy. The purity of the aluminum frame recycling can reach 98%, directly melting and casting into new materials, saving 8,000 kW of electricity per ton; the micro-cracks in the glass panel are also reduced by 60% due to uniform stress, paving the way for subsequent extraction of silver and silicon. A pilot plant that processes 5,000 tons per year has calculated that using this machine can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.8 tons per ton of components processed, equivalent to planting 100 tamarisk trees.   As night falls, the removal machine is still humming softly, like singing a lullaby to the photovoltaic panels. The aluminum frames are compressed into shiny silver squares, waiting to return to the furnace; the glass fragments lie on the other side, ready to become the next urban glass curtain wall. The machine can't write poetry, but it makes the rhyme of circular economy resound loudly—it turns out that the answer to making green energy truly "green" to the end lies in every precise cut.
