With the rising global demand for renewable energy, wind power has become an important part of the green industry. However, as wind turbines reach the end of their design life (typically 10 to 30 years), the effective recycling and disposal of used wind turbine blades has become an urgent challenge. Wind turbine blades are mainly made of composite materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, balsa wood, foam, and resin, which are difficult to process efficiently with traditional recycling methods. Therefore, the Honest Wind Turbine Blades Recycle Machine has emerged as a key technology to address this issue.

Wind turbines consist of blades, turbines, towers, and foundations, of which the blades are the most important and difficult to handle. Glass Fiber Reinforced CompositesGlass fibers and polymer resins, typically epoxy or polyester resins. Carbon Fiber Reinforced CompositesCarbon fibers and high-performance resins, such as epoxy resin.Wood/Foam Core MaterialsThe inner core of the blade may use lightweight and lightweight materials. The inner core of the blade may use lightweight wood or foam, with composite materials on the outer layer. With a large number of old wind turbines scrapped, how to effectively recycle these blades to avoid resource waste and environmental pollution has aroused widespread concern. The concern has aroused a lot of attention. Many energy companies choose to pile up old blades next to old towers or send them to landfills, which not only takes up a lot of space but also creates a serious environmental burden. In response to this challenge, a growing number of countries, especially some in Europe and the Americas, have banned wind turbine blades from landfills and plan to implement stricter regulations by 2025.

The Wind Turbine Blade Recycling Facility is a new specialized recycling facility designed to efficiently process used blades. The equipment effectively separates the glass fiber and resin materials in the blades through a series of physical treatment processes, including coarse crushing, pulverizing, wind separation, and water washing separation. In the recycling process, cut wind turbine blades enter the recycling line where the material undergoes three stages of crushing and three different separation processes. The end product consists of resin powder, small-sized fiber bundles, large-sized fiber bundles, and balsa wood. The key to the recycling process is to achieve a high purity of separation, up to 99% or more, to ensure the quality and reuse value of the recycled material.

The components of the plant include a belt conveyor, double-shaft shredder, material conveyor, horizontal crusher, wind conveyor, high-pressure blower, fiber separator, floatation washing tank, screw conveyor equipment, pulse de-dusting system, and electric control cabinet. A belt conveyor is used to convey the waste blades to the crusher, and the two twin-shaft shredders carry out 2 times preliminary shredding of the blades to reduce the volume. The material conveyor transports the shredded material to the horizontal crusher to further crush the material in preparation for separation. The wind conveyor utilizes airflow to separate the lightweight material, while the high-pressure fan provides the necessary airflow to enhance the separation. A fiber separator and flotation tank are used in combination to efficiently separate the fibers from the resin, while a screw conveyor is used to transport and sort the separated material. The entire process is equipped with a pulsed de-dusting system to collect and filter the dust generated during the process, while the electronic control cabinet automates the operation.

Recycling wind turbine blades not only reduces environmental pollution but also converts the recycled glass fibers into reinforcing fiber materials, which have a wide range of applications in the construction industry, enhancing the strength and durability of concrete and mortar for use in roads, floor slabs and prefabricated products, among others. In addition, the recycled resin materials can also be used for other industrial purposes, further promoting the recycling of resources.
