At the E-Waste Conference 2025 held in Frankfurt, Stokkermill previewed its latest innovations for solar panel recycling, attracting great interest among industry players, investors and insiders.
Our new delaminator system attracted attention for its ability to revolutionize the processing of solar panels, completely eliminating the need to manually remove the aluminum frame and introducing a new standard in efficiency, automation and quality of recovery.
In the coming months, the solar panel recycling industry will be called upon to handle an exponential increase in photovoltaic waste. Millions of panels installed more than 20 years ago are reaching the end of their useful life, generating huge streams of material to be processed.
In this scenario, PV e-waste recovery companies need highly efficient, automated facilities ready to work on large volumes without compromising on quality and productivity.
For years, the process of recycling PV panels required manual removal of the aluminum frame, a slow, expensive and labor-intensive step.
Today, thanks to the Stokkermill delaminator system, this step is outdated.
The system made by Stokkermill is designed to work directly on complete panels, with or without frames, drastically reducing processing time and improving the overall efficiency of the production cycle.
Recoverable materials from solar and photovoltaic modules
More than 15 innovative Stokkermill units are already operational, with three more in the pipeline for the Italian market.
These results confirm the trust of our customers and allow us to offer advanced predictive maintenance solutions, avoiding downtime and optimizing operating costs (OPEX).
Maximum production continuity, maximum return on investment.
The Stokkermill solar panel delaminator is an advanced industrial solution for the automated processing of photovoltaic panels. Its main features make it ideal for modern and demanding recycling plants:
✅ Total automation
Fully automatic operation, with no need for human intervention on the line.
✅ Maximum versatility
Compatible with monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels of any size, even damaged or incomplete ones.
✅ H24 operation
Designed to work continuously in three shifts, ensuring constant productivity 7 days a week.
✅ High-quality output
Generates a high-purity, oven-ready aluminum proler that can be economically valued to the fullest.
✅ Low wear and predictive maintenance
Thanks to selected materials and optimized geometries, mechanical wear is minimized.
✅ Homogeneous fractions
Precise and consistent separation of components (glass, aluminum, plastic) into sized fractions ready for reuse.
The Stokkermill solar panel recycling plant also integrates digital and smart systems:
• 📊 Computerized real-time control
• 🔧 Predictive maintenance to reduce downtime
• 🧠 Artificial intelligence for automatic recognition and adaptation to incoming materials
These technologies further increase efficiency and reduce operating costs, making the entire plant a strategic investment for the future of PV recycling.
With the acceleration of photovoltaics and the imminent arrival of huge quantities of end-of-life panels, it is essential to equip ourselves with next-generation plants. The Stokkermill system is the concrete answer to these needs: automated, productive, precise and sustainable.
