As the wave of solar panel retirements grows, the de-glazing machine has become a core piece of equipment for recycling end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) panels, making green circularity more efficient and resource recovery more complete.
Precision Separation, Releasing Core Value
Using intelligent temperature control and mechanical peeling technology, the de-glazing machine achieves non-destructive separation of the glass layer from solar cells, silver paste, and other high-value components. Glass recovery rates exceed 99% with high purity, allowing it to be directly reused for new photovoltaic glass. Meanwhile, the recovery rates of silicon and precious metals like silver are significantly improved, turning “waste” into high-value recycled raw materials.
Higher Efficiency, Lower Costs, Enabling Large-Scale Recycling
With a modular design, the de-glazing machine can process up to 800 panels per day, increasing efficiency by 50% compared to traditional methods and significantly reducing dismantling costs. By avoiding the resource waste caused by high‑temperature crushing, it lowers the industry’s break-even point and supports large-scale, compliant recycling operations.
Green and Environmentally Friendly, Protecting the Circular Economy
The fully enclosed process tightly controls exhaust gas and dust emissions, keeping organic gas releases far below environmental standards. It reduces silicon dust pollution and energy consumption during purification, significantly lowering the carbon footprint across the entire lifecycle. By preventing landfill pollution from discarded modules, it ensures a low‑carbon approach throughout the recycling chain.
The de-glazing machine uses technological strength to open the “first gate” of PV recycling, helping every end-of-life solar panel regain value and laying a solid foundation for the green, full-lifecycle development of the photovoltaic industry.
