Glass Separator (Hot Knife)

Separates glass and cell/EVA sheet without breaking  glass using our original technology, Hot Knife Separation Method.

• Only for non-broken glass panels
• Glass separated in form of sheet glass
• High-speed processing of approx. 60 seconds/panel
• Low noise
• Torque control enables compatibility with solar panels from various manufacturers
• Separated glass already used in France for manufacturing new sheet glass
  

Recycle

Operation

What is a Hot Knife Separation Method?

• A knife heated to 300℃ melts EVA layer to separate glass from cell/EVA sheet (includes metal) without breaking glass.
• Realized the recycling of glass and metals by utilizing our knowledge and technology accumulated through more than 30 years of experience of developing, manufacturing and selling of PV module manufacturing equipment.
• Highly evaluated in the industry as an effective and low cost processing method.

Frame & J-Box Separator

(De-Framer)

High-quality and cost-effective equipment ideal for initial installation.

• Automatically separates four frames and J-Box at the same time
• High-speed processing of approx. 40 seconds/panel
• Usable on-site as a mobile recycling machine by loading it on the truck

Operation

Usable outdoors

Can be operated anywhere as long as a power source is available. Significantly reduces transportation costs by operating on site.

EVA Scraper

Removes residual EVA on glass surface using our original technology, Brush Scraping Method.

• Removes thinly remained EVA on glass with a special brush

• No glass breakage, as with the preceding process (Glass Separator)

• High speed processing of approx. 60 seconds/panel
• Only need electricity and air compressor to use the machine

Operation

What is a Brush Scraping Method?

• Scrapes off EVA by rotating a special brush on the surface of glass after separation from cell sheet
• Improves value and recyclability of glass by increasing the purity

Broken Glass Separator

Realizes high separability and low dust using NPC's original heat and spiked roller feature.

• Less foreign matter on cell sheet after separation

• Compatible with various types of panels such as single glass panels and half-cut panels, broken/unbroken panels

• Low noise of approx. 80dB
• High speed processing of approx. 60 seconds/panel
• Space-saving design

Operation

• Efficiently removes glass by passing between our original spiked rollers after heating the panel with the heater installled above the conveyor.
