You've probably had to deal with a cracked screen after dropping your mobile device. In fact, a cracked screen can give your device an awkward look as well as make the touch screen to malfunction. That said, separating and removing your phone's LCD/OLED screen is the first and the most important step during the screen refurbishment process. So lots of care needs to be taken.
Thankfully, there're lots of glass separator machines out there to help you out. However, choosing the best one can turn out to be an uphill task due to the wide array of different brands and prices ($30-$3,000) available in the market. Therefore, understanding the kind of screen separator you need is very crucial. In this article, we'll take you through the 3 main types of mobile screen separators you should know about.
Read on!
Hotplate Separator Machine.This is probably the most popular and the easiest screen separator machine currently in the market. To begin with, you'll need to heat up the screen and melt the glue, which is exactly what the Hotplate separator does. You can then proceed to separate the broken glass from your mobile device's LCD display assembly using a molybdenum cutting wire (0.04/0.05/0.08mm). Keep in mind that this machine only works best when separating regular, flat screens.
Freezing Separator Machine. This kind of separator machine is specifically designed for separating OLED screens found on devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (Galaxy Note Series). In fact, for fast and easy recycling of Edge Series screens, you will definitely need this machine.
Laser Separator Machine Over the last 2 years, this separator machine has experienced a sharp rise in popularity. That aside, it's mainly used to separate any iPhone glass back cover and middle frames. It can also be used to applicate marks on any kind of material (metal or non-metal). However, you'll need to learn a little bit about this machine before using it. Once you understand how it operates, screen separation will become very easy.

One main advantage of airbag lamination machine is that it delivers soft pressing and lamination. This means that the machine will not harm the LCD screen as it is usually the case with hard plate machine. Because of the fact that the airbag is inflated with air means that lamination is made by air pressure. In addition to that, the airbag lamination machine has been proven to be the best solution for the Samsung Edge series in-frame lamination. It always fits perfectly without delay bubbles and does not cause any damage to the screen.

The last process of OCA lamination is bubble elimination. The bubble remover machine has a huge autoclave with high pressure. As we all know, a good recycled LCD screen should not have tiny bubbles after they have been removed. Unfortunately, most people still struggle to avoid bubbles even after lamination. There are two types of bubbles. They include locked and vacuum bubbles.



Vacuum bubbles are not real because they don't have any air. This means that if you use a bubble remover, then those bubbles will disappear quickly and you will never hear of them again. On the other hand, locked bubbles are real bubbles meaning that the bubbles have air. Typically, these kinds of bubbles are difficult to eliminate completely in autoclave even after high-pressure pressing. At first, you won't see the bubbles when you remove the screen from the autoclave. However, if you check the LCD screen after an hour or after one day, you will notice that bubbles have resurfaced. Such bubbles are known as delay bubbles.



Any screen repair technician will tell you that delay bubbles are their biggest headache. Most of them think that delay bubble occurs because the pressure applied by the bubble remover is actually not enough. If you want to get rid of deal bubbles completely, then you need to use high-quality lamination machine that is powerful enough. Bubbles are also triggered by temperature. When removing them, we recommend that you adjust the temperature to 45C on your machine.

This product has different names. Some people call mould, others mold while others jig. Regardless of how you call it, one thing that is clear is that jig and mold plays a crucial role in aligning OCA glue or LCD/OLED screen with the glass before laminating. Over the past 4 years, we have developed four types of molds specifically for screen recycling. They include regular aligning mold, in-frame lamination mold, out-frame aligning mold and 2 in 1 aligning mold.
