The Suny Group Semi-Automatic Solar Panel Frame Removal Machine offers an efficient and economical solution for dismantling end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules. Designed for solar panel recycling operations that require a balance between automation and cost-effectiveness, this semi-automatic machine simplifies the removal of aluminum alloy frames from waste solar panels.

In operation, workers manually load discarded PV modules into the machine, after which the equipment automatically clamps and removes the aluminum frame — delivering precise separation while preserving the integrity of glass, silicon cells, and other internal components.

The semi-automatic mode combines human flexibility (for loading and handling) with machine efficiency (for dismantling), reducing labor intensity while improving throughput compared with purely manual methods.

Because of its compact and robust design, the machine is well suited for small to medium-sized recycling facilities, or for enterprises just starting solar-panel recycling operations.

It supports a variety of conventional PV panel sizes and types, making it versatile for a wide range of scrap solar panels from different sources.

By efficiently removing aluminum frames (and in some configurations also separating junction boxes), the machine lays the groundwork for subsequent recycling processes such as glass separation, silicon recovery, plastic extraction, and metal reclamation. This improves overall material recovery rates while reducing manual labor costs.

In essence, SUNY GROUP’s Semi-Automatic Frame Removal Machine offers a practical, cost-effective entry point into PV module recycling — blending automation efficiency and operational simplicity to support sustainable solar panel recycling and resource recovery.

Equipment Structure

Compatible with Various Sizes of Solar Panels

• Cost-effective dismantling solution – Offers a lower investment cost compared with fully automatic machines, ideal for small and medium recycling plants.

• Semi-automatic operation reduces labor intensity – Workers only need to load and position PV modules; the machine completes frame removal automatically.

• High precision separation – Designed to remove aluminum frames cleanly without damaging glass, silicon cells, or EVA layers.

• Wide compatibility with panel sizes – Adjustable design allows processing of various PV module dimensions and thicknesses.

• Stable structural design – Heavy-duty frame and reliable clamping system ensure continuous, stable performance.

• Lower maintenance requirements – Fewer complex automation components lead to easier maintenance and reduced operational costs.

• Improved safety for operators – Mechanical clamping and controlled removal minimize cutting hazards and manual-tool risks.

• Compact footprint – Smaller size than full-automatic equipment, suitable for recycling plants with limited space.

• High aluminum recovery quality – Cleanly detached frames maintain high metal purity for downstream recycling.

• Customizable configuration – Can be upgraded or adjusted based on customer capacity, workflow, and panel types.

The Suny Group Semi-Automatic Frame Removal Machine is widely used in the pre-treatment stage of solar panel recycling lines. Its main application is to remove the aluminum alloy frame from end-of-life photovoltaic modules before they undergo glass separation, crushing, silicon recovery, or pyrolysis processes. The machine is suitable for recycling companies, renewable-energy waste processing centers, environmental protection facilities, and PV dismantling stations that process mixed types of old solar panels.

By combining manual loading with automated frame separation, the machine offers a practical and efficient solution for facilities requiring moderate throughput and flexible operation. It helps recover aluminum materials with high purity and prepares solar panels for the next steps of the recycling process, improving overall recovery efficiency and reducing labor costs.
