Automotive Windshield Recycling System with PVB Separation

The Car Windshield Recycling System is an advanced industrial solution designed for the efficient recycling of laminated automotive glass. The system typically consists of a pre-press unit, conveying systems, a glass delamination unit capable of recovering whole PVB sheets, screening equipment, and an optional color-sorting system. Material recovery rates can reach up to 99%, with PVB film integrity exceeding 98%. An integrated pulse dust collection system ensures a clean, safe, and environmentally friendly working environment throughout operation.

This laminated glass recycling machine is specifically engineered to handle the unique structure of automotive windshields, in which glass layers are bonded by a PVB interlayer. The recycling process begins with a pre-pressing and pre-crushing stage, where the windshield surface is fractured and reduced into small glass fragments, typically below 20 mm, while preserving the integrity of the PVB film. The processed material is then conveyed to the main PVB glass separation unit, where mechanical action effectively strips glass particles from the flexible PVB or EVA interlayer without the use of chemicals. The separated materials subsequently pass through a vibrating or drum screening system to classify particles by size and remove fine impurities.

For applications requiring higher glass purity, the recycling line can be equipped with an advanced optical color-sorting system. The color sorter identifies and removes residual contaminants, ceramics, and off-color glass, producing high-purity glass cullet suitable for glass manufacturing and other high-value industrial applications. This next-generation configuration is specifically designed to maximize glass cleanliness and overall recycling value.

By combining mechanical separation technology with intelligent color sorting, and featuring high efficiency and stable performance, this auto glass recycling line offers low operating costs, strong adaptability, and easy maintenance. Regular inspection of filters, oil levels, and drive components, along with scheduled lubrication and routine cleaning of screens, helps ensure consistent output quality and a long service life.
