Setting up a recycling facility
Permit first, then feedstock, then equipment. The sequence matters more than any individual machine choice.

01
Which project is yours
Decommissioning and repowering
A whole site's modules arrive in months, not years. The line has to suit a campaign rather than a steady process.
Open →Manufacturer scrap recovery
Off-spec, broken-in-line and warranty-return modules, usually a consistent and well-characterised feedstock.
Open →Line planning and specification
How a line gets specified: the inputs, the decisions, the scope boundary and the growth path.

What all four have in common
Whatever the project type, three questions decide the equipment, and they are always asked in this order: what modules arrive, what has to leave, and what constraints does the site impose. Only then does it make sense to talk about machines.
Projects that skip to the machine question tend to buy either too much automation for their volume or too little for the labour they actually have. Both are expensive, and both are avoidable with a short conversation about the three inputs above.

The project sequence we work to
- 01
Define the feedstock
Module types, proportions, condition and the annual or campaign tonnage. This is the single most useful input and the one most often left vague.
- 02
Define the output
Which fractions you can sell or store, and to what specification. This decides how many separation steps the line needs.
- 03
Define the site
Footprint, power, compressed air, access, and where modules arrive and containers leave.
- 04
Configure the equipment
Stations, automation level, containment scope and output arrangement — with the growth path stated in writing.
- 05
Build, test, commission
Fabrication in Xingyang, pre-dispatch testing, shipping, erection supervision, commissioning on your own modules and operator training.

Tell us which project you are planning
Module type, condition, tonnage and site constraints. We will come back with the configuration, the scope boundary and the growth path.
FAQ
Questions
What is the first step in setting up a solar panel recycling business?
The permit and the feedstock, in that order. Until you know what volume you are allowed to process and where the modules will come from, equipment specification is guesswork. The equipment decision becomes straightforward once those two are established.
Do you supply complete plants or individual machines?
Both. Many projects begin with a single frame removal machine and grow into a line; others are quoted as a complete front end from the start. Either way we ask about the intended end configuration at quotation stage, because that is when the growth path is cheapest to design in.
Can you help with a project outside our usual markets?
We ship worldwide from Xingyang and have delivered to more than sixty countries. Local rules on waste handling, permits and electrical safety are yours to establish with your regulator; we supply the equipment and the commissioning support around the specification you set.
How long does an equipment project take?
The sequence after order is design confirmation, fabrication, pre-dispatch testing, shipping, then erection and commissioning at site. Shipping and site works usually dominate the schedule rather than fabrication, which is why the site-readiness questions come early in our process.
Send us the module mix and the through-put
Tell us what arrives at your gate and what has to leave. The engineering team replies with the station configuration, the scope boundary and the information still missing before drawings start.
- Modules — framed single-glass, double-glass, frameless, thin film, mixed
- Condition — intact, or a meaningful share damaged or bent
- Through-put — modules per hour or t/h, and your shift pattern
- Output — which fractions you sell or store, and to what specification
