Semi-automatic Solar PV Panel Aluminum Frame Separator Machine

It automatically (or semi-automatically) separates and removes aluminum alloy frames from solar photovoltaic panels as the first step in recycling, enabling recovery of aluminum and downstream processing of glass and cells.

The unit supports both modes: fully automatic cycle operation and manual/semi-automatic control for setup, troubleshooting or atypical panels, as specified by the control method (PLC system).

Typical throughput is up to about 6 panels per minute. The technical design indicates 6–8 cycles per minute; actual output depends on panel size, operator workflow and loading/unloading method.

Motor rating is 5.5 kW (spec sheet). Standard supply shown is 200 V / 60 Hz. Confirm local voltage/frequency and any transformer requirements with the supplier before installation.

Technical parameters include hydraulic stroke length 150 mm, an oil pump configuration listed as 2*1, and a design pressure specified as 1–2T(M). The system uses a pressure vessel and PLC-controlled hydraulics for consistent dismantling force.

Overall machine footprint is approximately 1.9 m × 1.7 m × 1.7 m and the total weight is about 1 ton (1 T).

The machine is designed for common framed PV panels and aluminum alloy frames. It can be customized to accommodate specific panel dimensions and frame profiles; provide your panel size range and frame details to the manufacturer for confirmation.

Yes. The manufacturer sells single machines and complete recycling lines (glass removing, cell separating, etc.). The frame separator can be supplied as part of a turnkey recycling line or as a standalone unit.

A level, load-bearing concrete foundation is recommended to secure the ~1 T machine. You will need the correct electrical supply (200 V/60 Hz or as agreed), hydraulic fluid, and adequate space for material handling and operator access. Specific site requirements should be provided by the supplier during order confirmation.

The unit includes PLC control and is engineered to meet industry safety and environmental requirements. Typical protections include guarded moving parts and emergency stop functions. For local regulatory compliance (CE, UL, etc.), request certificate documentation from the supplier.

Routine tasks include checking hydraulic fluid levels and condition, inspecting seals and hoses for wear, tightening fasteners, verifying PLC and sensor operation, and lubricating moving parts per the supplier’s maintenance schedule. Replace wear parts as recommended.

Yes. The manufacturer provides spare parts, technical support and can supply consumable/wear part kits. Contact the sales/service team for lead times and recommended spare parts packages.

Manufacturers typically offer operator and maintenance training (onsite or remote). Confirm available training options, scope and any associated costs when ordering.

Yes — the frame separator is customizable to suit different panel sizes, frame types, throughput requirements and integration needs. Discuss your specific application so the supplier can propose the correct configuration.

Optimize throughput by standardizing panel sizes, pre-sorting and staging panels, using efficient loading/unloading methods (conveyors or fixtures), scheduling preventive maintenance, and training operators in best practices. For higher capacity, consider parallel machines or a full automated line.
