How the Delamination Process Works for Solar Panel Recycling
The Stokkermillsolar Delamination system operates in two core stages to maximize material recovery from end-of-life photovoltaic modules. In the first delamination stage, each panel goes through a de-framing step that precisely strips the aluminum frame and external hardware, prepping the module for downstream processing and optimizing metal recovery yields. From there, a magnetic separator pulls residual ferrous material out of the waste stream, boosting the purity of recovered fractions including cullet glass, silicon, aluminum, and copper, all critical inputs for high-grade recycling operations.
Refining and Material Recovery: From Separation to Finished Product
In the second refining stage, material moves through an advanced processing loop that combines screening, secondary delamination, and particle-size separation. The screening unit accurately classifies glass, silicon, and other fractions by particle size, down to fractions of an inch, ensuring clean, consistent output at every step. The XRS Delaminator mechanically processes the EVA layer, releasing residual glass and silicon particles and significantly improving the quality of recovered materials. Finally, circular vibrating screens divide the material flow into uniform, well-defined size fractions, delivering finished outputs including silicon concentrate powder and medium-grade cullet glass, ready to re-enter the supply chain as high-value secondary raw materials.
