As the global demand for solar energy continues to grow, the need for sustainable recycling of end-of-life solar panels becomes more urgent. One of the most efficient tools in this process is the hammer mill for solar panel recycling, especially when dealing with dismantled PV backsheets. Unlike primary shredding systems, hammer mills serve as the second-stage crusher, delivering finer and more consistent particle sizes essential for downstream separation processes.
What is the working principle of hammer mill for solar panel recycling?
The hammer mill utilizes high-speed rotating hammers mounted on a rotor to crush and pulverize the brittle materials of dismantled solar panel backsheets. And when the material enters the feed chamber, it is impacted by the swinging hammers, then forced through a screen mesh at the bottom to control the final size. So, this impact-shear principle enables effective liberation of glass, EVA, silicon, and trace metals for further separation.
What is the price of solar panels hammer mill?
The favourable price is also an important advantage which attracts solar panels recycling businesses to purchase hammer mill. Generally speaking, the price of a hammer mill is $8,000- $15,000. Why does it has such an economical price? For one thing, it use alloy steel for a long service life and a capacity of 0.3-3 t/h. The smaller the capacity, the lower the price. For another, SX is a source factory for e-waste recycling equipment manufacturing. So there is no extra charge during the transaction.
Why so many solar panels recycler use hammer mill for crushing?
From past data, we found that many solar panels recyclers buy hammer mill for their photovoltaic panels recycling plants. Why? From the feedback of our customers, we summarized two reasons as follows:
How to further recycle metals and silicon after using hammer mill for solar panel disposal?
If you want to further recycle metals to get more profits, you can choose to establish a mechanical solar panel recycling plant.
If you are still hesitant about mechanical solar panel recycling plant setup, you can tell us your conditions. Such as material, budget, factory area, expectant capacity, equipment you need, etc. We can design solar panels disposal line design according to your requirements.
Besides, if you want to buy other solar panels recycling equipment, there are also double shafts shredder, gravity separator, electrostatic separator, etc. Welcome to contact us for your own solar panels recycling solution now.
