After frame dismantling, the photovoltaic panel is transferred to the glass separation unit. In this stage, heat is applied to soften the EVA encapsulant, allowing mechanical systems to safely and effectively separate the glass layer from the rest of the module components. This process ensures high glass recovery rates with minimal material damage.

Once the glass has been separated, the photovoltaic panel is fed into a shredder for further size reduction. This process breaks the module into finer, more uniform fragments, typically measuring around 3 to 4 centimeters.

Following initial classification by the vibrating screen, materials are sorted by particle size. However, to meet higher precision requirements, further grinding is necessary for certain fractions. This critical step refines the particles to a finer scale, significantly improving material purity and enhancing the overall recovery value.

After gravity separation, the material moves on to the electrostatic separation stage. This process exploits differences in electrical charge properties and intensities among materials within an electrostatic field. As materials enter the field, they acquire varying polarities and charge levels through contact with electrodes, friction, or corona discharge. Under the combined effects of electrostatic forces, gravity, and centrifugal forces, charged particles follow distinct trajectories according to their charge characteristics and magnitudes, enabling effective material separation.

Contains heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, which pollute the soil and water sources and harm the ecology.
Burning EVA film releases toxic gases: hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen cyanide, etc.
EU data: The cost of environmental restoration is 3 to 5 times the cost of recycling.
Global photovoltaic waste is expected to reach 78 million tons by 2050. If it is not recycled, silver and copper worth more than $10 billion will be lost.
