500kg/h solar panel crushing and separation machine project in UK

Because of the rising demand for environmental recycling and the necessity of waste solar panel disposal, more and more businesses invest in recycling solar panel to get precious metals. For example, on 25th February 2025, a customer from the UK inquired about how to setup a 500KG/H physical e-waste recycling plant for waste solar panel disposal. This client told us “..complete line – from disassembling photovoltaic panels to material separation for getting silicon and metals. With capacity 500 kg/h..send me the layout, quotation…” The following are the specific details of our communication in this case:

This British customer wanted to buy a complete solar panel crushing and separation line – from  disassembling photovoltaic panels to material separation. With capacity 500 kg/h. Then during the subsequent communications, he asked us what equipment is needed in a complete physical solar panel recycling line in detail? In general,it contains the following machines:

This machine can be divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic. Semi-automatic frame removal machine need two workers, one to turn on the equipment with a remote control (the electrical control cabinet has been set up). And the other to place the photovoltaic panels and prepare to remove the frames. After de-framing, workers are still needed to transport them to the glass removing machine for the next step. Then fully automatic frame removing equipment has its own transmission function, so workers do not need to carry it.

It can remove more than 85% of the glass on the solar panel. At the same time, the equipment is equipped with dust removal equipment. And there is no dust and pollution during the working process.The treated photovoltaic panels are convenient for transportation and further recycling.

This plant includes double shafts shredder, hammer mill, vibrating screening machine, gravity separator, electrostatic separator. They can help you get silicon, metals and plastic.

When you want to setup an solar panel crushing and separation line, factory area are also two aspects you must consider. Usually, the whole solar panel recycling area is divided into three parts:
