The SUNY GROUP Solar Panel Glass Removal Machine is an advanced and essential piece of equipment designed for the modern photovoltaic recycling industry. As solar panels reach the end of their lifecycle, efficient separation of the glass layer becomes a critical step for maximizing material recovery and ensuring sustainable handling of renewable-energy waste. This machine is specifically engineered to detach the front glass layer from silicon cells, EVA, and backsheet components safely and effectively.
Using a combination of controlled heating, mechanical peeling, and precision separation technology, the machine delivers clean glass removal without shattering or damaging the valuable internal materials. This greatly improves recovery rates for glass, silicon wafers, and metal conductors, while reducing the amount of residual waste. The system is equipped with a stable feeding structure, temperature-controlled processing, and intelligent monitoring to guarantee consistent performance during long-term operation.
The glass removal machine is suitable for small, medium, and large recycling plants and integrates seamlessly into fully automated PV recycling lines that include frame removal, junction box removal, crushing, magnetic separation, and material refining. By optimizing glass separation efficiency, the machine significantly enhances the overall recycling workflow, lowers labor dependence, and helps companies meet strict environmental protection standards.
SUNY GROUP’s Solar Panel Glass Removal Machine represents a reliable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective solution for companies looking to extract maximum value from waste solar panels while supporting global sustainability goals.
