Purpose-Built Equipment for Laminated Glass Processing

Automotive windshields are laminated glass products consisting of two glass layers bonded by a PVB interlayer. This composite structure makes windshield recycling far more complex than standard glass recycling.

A dedicated windshield recycling machine is essential for separating glass from PVB efficiently and economically.

What Is a Windshield Recycling Machine

A windshield recycling machine is designed to:

Break laminated glass safely

Separate the glass from the PVB film

Minimize glass fines and contamination

Unlike traditional crushers, these machines focus on controlled separation rather than aggressive crushing.

High-quality windshield recycling machines achieve clean separation between: Glass cullet, PVB film. Clean separation increases the resale value of both materials and reduces disposal costs.

Applications in Automotive Recycling of the windshield recycling machine

• Vehicle dismantling facilities
• Auto glass recycling plants
• End-of-life vehicle (ELV) processing lines

They play a critical role in achieving high recycling rates for automotive glass.
