Over the coming decades, more and more photovoltaic systems will reach the end of their service life. For Europe, our scenario projects around 240,000 tonnes of end-of-life PV modules per year from 2030 and approximately 2.15 million tonnes in 2050. Around 70% of a typical crystalline module is glass.
With Recyglass® Solar Recycling, we have developed a solution that processes this material stream purely mechanically. What makes it different: the modules do not need to be dismantled. Glass-backsheet and glass-glass modules are fed in complete with frames and cables, even if they are damaged or partially dismantled.
The line consists of four Prall-Tec machines: the PTPVS shredder for pre-shredding, the PTT trommel screen, the PTRF fine grinding mill for cleaning the carrier foil, and the PTV balling mill for metal processing. The output is a set of defined fractions: glass in three grain sizes, aluminium, balled non-ferrous metals, a silicon-silver concentrate and a foil mix. Throughput ranges from 5 to 20 t/h, depending on the configuration.
For us, PV recycling is not an experiment. It is the logical next step in what we have done for more than 40 years: crushing, liberating and cleanly separating materials. Every machine is planned, engineered and manufactured at our plant in Lengerich, Germany.

Together with Magotteaux, we look back on a highly successful trade fair. Many visitors, interesting conversations, new contacts and new orders made steinexpo a great success for us. 🤝
A special highlight was being recognised as a Hardox® Wearparts Partner by the Swedish steel company SSAB, which was also present at the event. We are proud to be part of this strong partnership!
Our PT 130-100 impact crusher also made a strong impression. Together with the Mag’Impact vertical shaft impact crusher from Magotteaux, we presented two powerful crushing solutions directly at our stand. ♻️
Many thanks to all our visitors, SSAB, Magotteaux and our entire trade fair team for a fantastic time!
Four intensive and successful exhibition days at IFAT Munich 2026 are behind us. As the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies, IFAT once again provided the perfect platform for international exchange, new connections and inspiring discussions about innovative solutions in recycling and processing technology.
There was great interest in PRALL-TEC’s technologies and solutions. Numerous visitors, customers, partners and industry professionals took the opportunity to learn more about current developments, projects and individual application possibilities. The personal conversations and valuable new impulses gained during the exhibition were especially important to us.
For PRALL-TEC, IFAT 2026 was not only a successful trade fair, but also a strong confirmation of our work, our development and our direction for the future. We would like to thank all visitors, business partners and customers for their trust and the open exchange.
A special thank you also goes to the entire PRALL-TEC team. With dedication, expertise and strong teamwork, our trade fair appearance once again became a complete success.
We are already looking forward to upcoming projects, new partnerships and the future of recycling and processing technology.
The ReMA2026 Convention & Exposition in Las Vegas was a great success for us.
Together with our partners orbcon and IMRO Maschinenbau, we presented our latest innovations in recycling technology.
The event provided an excellent platform for exchanging ideas with international industry experts.
In addition to many valuable conversations, we gained important insights and established new contacts.
Overall, a very successful appearance for Prall-Tec and another step toward strengthening the global presence of our technologies. ♻️
