The growing use of Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) in architecture, signage, and cladding across India has also led to an increasing challenge: what happens to used or damaged ACP sheets?

Cities like Ahmedabad, Baroda, Valsad, Nagpur, Mumbai, Indore, Bhopal, Jaipur, and Jodhpur generate thousands of tonnes of ACP scrap annually during renovation, demolition, and signage replacement projects. Traditionally, this waste ends up in scrapyards or landfills because the aluminium layers are fused with a plastic (polyurethane or polyethylene) core, making separation difficult.

Servoday Plants & Equipments Limited, through PelletIndia.com, introduces an innovative solution — the ACP Stripper Machine — that cleanly separates both aluminium sheets and the central plastic core, transforming waste into valuable, recyclable material.

🌟 What is the ACP Stripper Machine?

The ACP Stripper Machine (also known as the ACP Sheet Remover) is a specialized, automated system designed to mechanically peel off the aluminium layers from the composite core.

Working Principle

Feeding Unit – Scrap ACP sheets are inserted into the machine.
Clamping Rollers – Grip and hold the sheet firmly.
Separation Module – Mechanically separates both sides’ aluminium skins.
Core Extraction – The central polyurethane or rubber layer is peeled and collected separately.
Clean Output – Aluminium sheets and core materials are ready for resale or recycling.

⚙️ Technical Highlights

Specification	Detail
Sheet Thickness	3 mm – 6 mm ACP sheets
Separation Width	Up to 4 ft (customizable)
Output	Aluminium recovery up to 95–98 %
Core Separation	Polyurethane/Polyethylene extraction
Drive	Electric motor with gear reduction
Material	Heavy-duty steel frame
Operation	Semi or Fully automatic
Maintenance	Low — easy blade and roller replacement

🏗️ City-Wise Recycling Opportunities

Each of the following cities has large quantities of ACP waste due to construction and renovation activity:

Gujarat Region – Ahmedabad, Baroda, Valsad

Major aluminium fabrication hubs.
Several signage manufacturers using ACP sheets daily.
Estimated 5–7 % ACP waste generated from new projects and retrofits.
Servoday’s ACP Stripper can be deployed in recycling clusters to extract clean aluminium.

Maharashtra – Mumbai, Nagpur

Mumbai produces the highest ACP scrap from façade replacements and mall signage.
Nagpur emerging as a logistics hub—ideal for centralized recycling facility.

Madhya Pradesh – Indore, Bhopal

Growing urban infrastructure and industrial estates lead to continuous ACP usage.
The machine enables localized recycling, reducing scrap transport costs.

Rajasthan – Jaipur, Jodhpur

Tourism and hotel industry use decorative ACP panels extensively.
This machine can serve local resorts, construction firms, and façade maintenance companies.
