Photovoltaic panel aluminum frame removal machine: the first key to "green rebirth" of decommissioned components

#Industry ·2025-11-30

Under the pressure of the "double carbon" goal, China's photovoltaic power stations are facing the first wave of decommissioning. Rows of photovoltaic panels stand like veterans awaiting inspection, while their aluminum frames resemble stubborn armor, tightly encasing the glass and battery cells. If relying on manual disassembly, a screwdriver and a hammer would only allow two people to disassemble a few dozen panels per day, with aluminum chips flying, glass shattering, and ear-piercing noises ringing out. This is where the aluminum frame disassembling machine comes into play—it's not particularly tall, but it features a movable "double arm" that operates with surgical precision: a conveyor belt feeds the components into the clamping area, where rubber pads gently secure them. Six hydraulic clamps simultaneously strike, emitting clicks as the rivets are severed, and the aluminum frames snap apart at all four corners in just fifteen seconds. Even better, the blade glides along the glass edge, leaving only a hair-thin scratch, with a completion rate of 98%. The dismantled aluminum frames are compressed into one-meter-square "tofu blocks" and fed directly into the ingot furnace, while the glass and battery cells are sent to the next sorting line, embarking on a new cycle. Painted in sunshine orange, the machine from a distance resembles a monster devouring past sunlight, yet spewing out clean metal and silicon materials. Engineers adjust the pace on the touchscreen to four panels per minute, allowing the machine to disassemble 2,000 panels daily—equivalent to 20 days of manual labor. They say the aluminum frame disassembling machine isn't the end, but the starting line of photovoltaic circular economy. Only by first "unshackling" the frames can subsequent processes like glass separation, silver paste recovery, and silicon remelting proceed smoothly. At night, the factory's LED lights illuminate, and the disassembling machine continues its rhythmic "breathing," like performing a quiet surgical operation on the earth. Those dismantled aluminum frames will become new window frames, car hubs, or next-generation photovoltaic supports within a week. Meanwhile, the battery cells they once protected will be crushed, melted, and reborn on the slopes of mountains to continue capturing sunlight. The photovoltaic panel aluminum frame disassembling machine, with its steel-like calmness and electro-hydraulic gentleness, enables decommissioned components to complete their green rebirth at the first stop and writes the first chapter in humanity's energy cycle.
