Rotor Blade

Complex but dissolvable: research projects on recycling rotor blades at Fraunhofer IWES

When it comes to dismantling and recycling wind turbines, the discussion revolves around one component in particular: the rotor blade. The aim of the research at Fraunhofer IWES is to ensure high-quality recycling.

The longer the rotor blade, the more glue is needed to bond the blade shells together. IWES scientists have developed the Variable Glue Applicator to simplify and improve the application of adhesive.
