The global surge in electronic waste presents both a challenge and an opportunity. With millions of tons of discarded electronics accumulating annually, businesses that invest in professional recycling infrastructure can recover valuable materials while contributing to environmental sustainability. San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, established in 2007 and based in Jiangxi Province, China, has been at the forefront of this industry for over 15 years, providing comprehensive WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment to clients across 21+ countries.
Understanding the E-Waste Recycling Landscape
Electronic waste contains precious metals, rare earth elements, and recyclable plastics. However, improper handling leads to environmental contamination and wasted resources. Professional recycling equipment is essential for safe, efficient material recovery. From used lead acid batteries to lithium-ion cells, circuit boards to scrap cables, each waste stream requires specialized processing technology to maximize recovery rates and minimize environmental impact.
San Lan's Comprehensive Recycling Solutions
Lead Acid Battery Recycling
Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recyclable waste streams, with over 95% of materials recoverable. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment includes complete breaking and separation systems, rotary furnaces, blast furnaces, and refinery kettles. These integrated plants process 1-10 MT per hour, recovering lead paste, lead grids, plastic shells, and acid for reuse or safe disposal. The rotary furnace achieves higher lead recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces, while the electric refinery kettle produces 99.999% pure lead with 30-50% energy savings.
Circuit Board Recycling
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain copper, gold, silver, and other precious metals. San Lan offers both dry and wet separation circuit board recycling equipment with capacities ranging from 300 to 2000 kg/hour. Their advanced air and water separation technologies achieve 96-98% copper powder purity while maintaining environmental compliance through integrated dust collection systems. The wet separation process can even handle PCBs with components still attached, offering flexibility for different input materials.
Cable Recycling
Scrap cables and wires are rich in copper and aluminum. San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers and cable granulators that efficiently separate metal from plastic insulation. These machines handle various cable diameters and types, from thin communication wires to thick armored cables, delivering clean copper granules ready for smelting or direct sale. The compact granulator design allows deployment in facilities with limited space.
Lithium Battery Recycling
As electric vehicles and portable electronics proliferate, lithium battery waste is growing exponentially. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plants process 500-2500 kg/hour, recovering black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic through safe crushing and separation processes. Integrated air pollution control systems neutralize harmful gases, ensuring compliance with strict environmental regulations.
Beyond Equipment: Turnkey Solutions
What sets San Lan apart is their end-to-end service capability. Their team includes mechanical engineering masters with over 15 years of industry experience. They provide comprehensive support that goes far beyond equipment supply:
