Solar Panel Shredder

How to recycle end-of-life solar panels? The process typically involve shredding/grinding and separating. GEP ECOTECH offers solar panel shredder and complete lines for recycling of solar panels.

How to Recycle Used Photovoltaic Panels?How to Recycle Used Photovoltaic Panels?

Usually the service life of solar photovoltaic panels is about 20-30 years, according to statistics, by 2050 the number of end-of-life photovoltaic panels will be tens of millions of tons, such a huge amount, from the starting point of the circular economy to consider, the recycling of end-of-life photovoltaic panels, in order to achieve the green photovoltaic panels from the source to the end of the environmental protection. So how should the end-of-life photovoltaic panels be recycled? A typical crystalline silicon solar PV panel consists of 65-75% glass, 10-15% aluminium frame, 10% plastic and 3-5% silicon. Recycling is the sorting and reuse of these materials in three main steps: first the PV panel module is dismantled, then it is shredded and finally the valuable metals in the PV panel are extracted by pyrolysis. Shredding as an important part of the recycling process, the photovoltaic panels are first shredded to facilitate the next step of recycling and sorting. Usually choose double-shaft shear

AIShred Low Speed Industrial Shredder in Recycling of Solar PV PanelsAIShred Low Speed Industrial Shredder in Recycling of Solar PV Panels

The lifespan of solar photovoltaic panels is about 25 years, and more than 95% of the material can be recycled from scrapped and damaged solar PV panels using the latest technology. Aluminum frames can be recycled and sent to refineries, glass can be recycled into glass products, combustibles such as plastics can be recycled for energy, silicon can be reused in the precious metals industry, and heavy metals can be recycled. Due to the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, a large amount of photovoltaic waste is about to be generated. How to efficiently recycle photovoltaic waste will soon become an important challenge for us. AIShred's low-speed dual-shaft shredder have been successfully applied in solar pv panels recycling plant in a photovoltaic power plant in western China. "This is an experimental photovoltaic waste recycling project. The overall process is to disassemble the aluminum frame, thermally separate the panels, then shred and sort. We chose AIShred among European brands and many

Disposal of Waste Photovoltaic Panels in GermanyDisposal of Waste Photovoltaic Panels in Germany

Generally, the service life of solar photovoltaic panels is about 20-30 years. According to statistics, by 2050, the scrapped number of photovoltaic panels will be in the order of ten million tons. Considering the starting point of circular economy, recycling and reusing the scrapped photovoltaic panels can realize the green environmental protection of photovoltaic panels from the source to the terminal. So how should the discarded photovoltaic panels be recycled? Recently, a German company purchased a set of double shaft shear shredder equipment from our company for the disposal, recycling and reuse of solar photovoltaic panels. Crushing is an important part of the recycling process. The photovoltaic panels are first crushed, which is conducive to the next step of recycling and sorting. Usually, double shaft shredder breaking is used to break the photovoltaic panels, and two relatively rotating cutters are used to form the crushing effect of shearing and tearing the materials. The equipment is designed with
