Photovoltaic panel aluminum frame removal machine: a "green disassembler" for decommissioned photovoltaic panels

#Industry ·2025-12-11

When photovoltaic panels complete their 25-year power generation mission, recycling and processing them after retirement has become a key link in the closed-loop development of the photovoltaic industry. The photovoltaic panel aluminum frame disassembling machine is precisely the core tool that gives these "retired veterans" a new lease of life. The aluminum frames in photovoltaic panels account for about 15% of the total weight and are an important recyclable resource. Traditional manual disassembly of aluminum frames is not only inefficient—with an average daily output of only 30 to 50 panels—but also prone to scratching silicon wafers and damaging internal components due to improper operation, resulting in a waste of resources. The emergence of the photovoltaic panel aluminum frame disassembling machine has completely broken this dilemma. This "disassembler" is equipped with a precise "eye" and a flexible "arm": the vision positioning system can quickly identify the location of the aluminum frame's seams, and the mechanical arm automatically clamps the frame. Using low-temperature plasma cutting technology, it can separate the aluminum frame of a photovoltaic panel in just 30 seconds without damaging the silicon wafer. One machine can process 500 photovoltaic panels per day, with an efficiency more than 10 times that of manual labor. More importantly, it achieves "lossless recycling": the separated aluminum frames can be directly sent to aluminum factories for remelting and recycling, and the silicon wafers can also be kept intact, preserving the value for subsequent purification and utilization of silicon materials. After a photovoltaic recycling company in Jiangsu introduced this equipment, the aluminum frame recycling rate increased from 85% to 98%, and the silicon wafer intact rate reached 95%, saving more than 2 million yuan in recycling costs annually. The photovoltaic panel aluminum frame disassembling machine is not just a piece of equipment, but also a "booster" for circular economy. It transforms the recycling of retired photovoltaic panels from "rough disassembly" to "precise utilization", promoting the formation of a green closed-loop in the photovoltaic industry: production—use—recycling—remanufacturing. Guided by the "double carbon" goals, such small innovations are converging into great forces, allowing every retired photovoltaic panel to release its final value and contribute to sustainable development.
