When panels of blue photovoltaic (PV) modules supply clean energy to the Earth under the sun, few people realize that years later, they will be decommissioned due to aging and become "green waste" needing disposal. The emergence of PV module aluminum frame removal machines is paving a critical path for these decommissioned PV panels to "reborn." The aluminum frames of PV modules are the core structure supporting the panels and also a high-value resource that can be recycled. In the past, manual removal of aluminum frames was not only inefficient—with a worker only able to disassemble dozens of frames per day—but also often resulted in injuries from broken glass and deformation of the frames due to mechanical impacts, reducing their recycling value. Aluminum frame removal machines address these pain points with automation technology: They use intelligent clamps to precisely fix the PV panels, cut along the seam between the aluminum frame and the glass with high-speed rotating specialized blades, and then gently separate the aluminum frame from the panel with mechanical arms. The entire process takes less than three minutes, with efficiency increased by nearly tenfold, and a complete aluminum frame recovery rate of over 99%. In a PV recycling workshop in Zhejiang, several removal machines are busy at work: Workers simply place the decommissioned PV panels on the conveyor belt, and the machines automatically identify their dimensions and adjust parameters. Then, the clamps gently clamp and the blades move, and moments later, the silver-bright aluminum frames are detached from the panels and sent to the recycling bin. "In the past, we had to wear two layers of gloves when removing the frames. Now, the machine does it quickly and well. All we need to do is monitor the parameters on the screen," said workshop technician Wang, full of praise. The value of this machine goes far beyond efficiency improvement. Fully recycled aluminum frames can be directly remelted, with energy consumption only 5% of that of primary aluminum, equivalent to reducing 9 tons of carbon emissions per ton of recycled aluminum frame. Separated PV panels can also further extract silicon materials, glass, and other resources. It transforms decommissioned PV panels from an "environmental burden" into a "resource treasure," driving the photovoltaic industry to form a green closed-loop of "generation—decommissioning—recycling—reuse." The PV module aluminum frame removal machine, seemingly an industrial device, is in fact a microcosm of technological innovation supporting sustainable development. With its precise "frame removal" action, it tightens a critical link in the global photovoltaic industry's green future. (Word count: approximately 520 words)
