Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: From Lead-Acid Batteries to Circuit Boards

The growing volume of discarded electronics and used batteries worldwide has made efficient recycling operations more critical than ever. Businesses entering the recycling industry need reliable, high-capacity equipment that can handle diverse waste streams while meeting strict environmental standards. San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, with over 15 years of experience since its establishment in 2007, delivers complete recycling plant solutions to customers across 21+ countries.

Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Made Efficient

Lead-acid batteries remain one of the most commonly recycled industrial products. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment provides complete breaking and separation systems with capacities ranging from 1 to 10 MT per hour. The integrated plant efficiently separates used batteries into four valuable output streams: lead grid, lead paste, PVC/PP plastic, and hard rubber.

For lead paste processing, the company offers rotary furnaces with 2-20 MT batch capacity, achieving higher lead recovery rates than traditional blast furnace alternatives. The de-sulfurization unit removes sulfur from PbSO4, which reduces melting temperatures and decreases SO2 emissions while saving energy and chemical additives. To ensure full environmental compliance, air pollution control systems and acidic wastewater treatment plants are available as integrated plant components.

Additional equipment in this category includes lead refinery kettle furnaces capable of refining crude lead to 99.999% purity, filter presses for paste collection with 60 square meters of filtration area, and hydraulic lead battery cutters that process batteries at 45 seconds per piece.

Lithium Battery Recycling for the Energy Transition

As electric vehicles and portable electronics continue to expand globally, lithium battery waste streams are growing rapidly. San Lan's lithium battery recycling equipment handles waste Li-ion batteries at 500-2500 kg per hour capacity. The breaking and separation process recovers black mass containing valuable nickel, cobalt and graphite, along with cleanly separated plastic, copper, and aluminum fractions.

The complete lithium battery recycling plant includes discharge systems, pre-crushing units, secondary granulation, black powder separation, and magnetic separation of iron and steel. Supporting equipment such as plastic pneumatic conveying systems, hydraulic briquetters with 10:1 volume compression ratio, and dedicated air pollution control systems ensure safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operation.

Maximizing Value from Cable and PCB Waste

Beyond batteries, San Lan provides robust solutions for other high-value e-waste streams. The cable recycling equipment line includes scrap cable strippers handling wire diameters from 1.5mm to 150mm, compact granulators with dry separators, and high-capacity cable recycling plants. These systems separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation efficiently, creating valuable metal concentrates ready for resale.

For printed circuit board processing, San Lan offers both wet and dry separation technologies. The WCBD-2000A plant with air separator achieves 2000 kg per hour capacity with copper powder purity reaching 96-98%, while wet separation options like the WCB-2000C handle similar throughput using environmentally friendly mechanical processes. Dry separation plants such as the WCBD-300A integrate air separators, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, cyclones, and pulse dust collectors for complete dust-free operation.

Additional Recycling Solutions

San Lan's product portfolio extends to cover nearly every major e-waste category. The refrigerator and AC recycling line includes refrigerant extraction machines compatible with R404A, R407C, R410A and R134A refrigerants, compressor cutting machines, and complete shredding and separation plants processing 20-30 units per hour with metal recovery rates exceeding 90%. CRT recycling machines cut and separate monitor glass safely, while motor recycling equipment dismantles electric motor stators to recover copper windings. For metal processing, medium frequency induction furnaces melt recycled metals into ingots, and hydraulic press machines compact metal chips into dense briquettes.

Turnkey Project Support and Global Experience

What distinguishes San Lan from pure equipment manufacturers is comprehensive project support. The technical team includes mechanical engineering specialists with master's degrees and over 15 years of direct experience in e-waste recycling machinery. The company offers full EPC project execution, customized plant design, one-stop purchasing centers, and installation with commissioning support.

With successful installations and customers in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and many other countries, San Lan Technologies has demonstrated consistent capability to deliver recycling solutions across diverse regulatory and operational environments.
