"In March, USA-based Comstock Metals LLC – a leading recycler of end-of-life solar panels “with the only certified, North American, zero-landfill solution” – announced that major portions of the recycling equipment for the 100,000 ton per year solar panel recycling production line have arrived at its Silver Springs, Nevada location. The plant is now undergoing commissioning. The operation is planned to start in the second quarter of this year. “The manufacture of precision-machined equipment for Comstock Metals’ proprietary solar panel recycling begins with a highly engineered design process focused on durability, accuracy, speed, and maximizing throughput," the company informed. “Each system is modeled using advanced CAD platforms to ensure exact tolerances for shredding, conditioning, and ultimately, critical materials separation and recovery. The shredding systems are currently being assembled."
