Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: From Lead-Acid to Lithium Battery Recovery

The global surge in electronic waste and spent batteries has created both an environmental challenge and a significant business opportunity. As governments tighten regulations on e-waste disposal and raw material prices continue to rise, investing in efficient recycling infrastructure is no longer optional—it is essential. San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, established in 2007 and headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment for over 15 years. With a technical team led by mechanical engineering master's degree holders and deep expertise in EPC projects, San Lan delivers turnkey recycling plants that transform waste into valuable resources.

San Lan offers an extensive range of recycling machinery covering nearly every category of e-waste and battery waste. Whether your operation focuses on traditional lead-acid batteries or the rapidly growing stream of lithium-ion batteries, San Lan has a purpose-built solution.

San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment provides a complete processing line from breaking and separation to smelting and refining. The system breaks and separates used lead-acid batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste, with capacities ranging from 1 to 10 MT per hour. Downstream equipment includes rotary furnaces for paste reduction (2–20 MT per batch), blast furnaces with 95% lead recovery rates, de-sulfurization units to reduce SO2 emissions, and lead refinery kettle furnaces capable of producing 99.999% pure lead. Every stage is complemented by pollution control and water treatment systems to ensure full environmental compliance.

With the explosion of electric vehicles and portable electronics, lithium battery recycling has become a critical industry. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes waste lithium-ion batteries at 500–2,500 kg per hour, separating black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum. The integrated system includes discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation, and dedicated air pollution control to neutralize harmful gases before emission.

Beyond batteries, San Lan manufactures cable recycling equipment and circuit board recycling equipment that recover high-purity copper and precious metals. Cable recycling machines separate copper or aluminum from plastic insulation, while circuit board recycling plants achieve copper powder purity of 96–98% with recovery rates up to 95%. Both dry and wet separation technologies are available, with capacities from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour depending on the model.

What distinguishes San Lan from equipment-only suppliers is its commitment to end-to-end project success. The company provides:

• EPC Project Delivery: Customized design, one-stop purchasing, installation, and commissioning
• Raw Material Sourcing Assistance: Helping customers procure waste materials such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead-acid batteries
• Product Sales Support: Assisting customers in selling recovered outputs like copper rice, lead ingots, and copper powder
• Investment Partnership: Connecting customers with investors for recycling plant construction

San Lan's team is essentially bilingual in English and Chinese, with a strong understanding of intercultural business environments—an invaluable asset when managing international projects across 21+ countries including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, and Zambia.
