Professional WEEE Recycling Machines & Mining Equipment Since 2007
The world generates over 60 million tonnes of electronic waste annually, yet less than 25% is properly recycled. This staggering gap represents both an environmental crisis and a massive business opportunity. For entrepreneurs and established recyclers alike, investing in the right recycling equipment is the key to transforming discarded electronics into valuable raw materials while building a sustainable, profitable operation.
At San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, we have spent nearly two decades helping businesses across the globe establish and scale their e-waste recycling operations. Since our founding in 2007, we have evolved from a specialized machinery manufacturer into a comprehensive solutions provider, offering everything from individual machines to turnkey EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects.
Why E-Waste Recycling Is a Smart Investment Now
Several converging trends make e-waste recycling one of the most promising industries today. Stricter environmental regulations worldwide are pushing manufacturers and consumers toward responsible disposal. Meanwhile, the surge in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and consumer electronics has created unprecedented demand for recovered materials like copper, lithium, cobalt, and precious metals.
The economics are compelling. A single tonne of discarded circuit boards can contain more gold than 17 tonnes of gold ore. Used cables harbor pure copper and aluminum that bypass expensive mining. Even end-of-life lead acid batteries hold recoverable lead and plastic that can re-enter the manufacturing cycle. The challenge lies in extracting these materials efficiently, safely, and profitably. That is precisely where San Lan Technologies excels.
Our Core Recycling Equipment Lines
We design and manufacture a full spectrum of recycling equipment tailored to different waste streams and production scales. Whether you need a compact unit for a small yard or a high-capacity plant processing several tonnes per hour, we have a proven solution.
Our cable recycling equipment handles everything from thin communication wires to thick armored industrial cables. The cable granulator series separates copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with high purity, while our scrap cable strippers prepare larger-diameter cables for further processing. Capacity ranges from 100 kg/hour for entry-level operations up to 1,200 kg/hour for industrial-scale facilities.
As one of our flagship offerings, our lead acid battery recycling equipment provides a complete process from breaking and separation to smelting and refining. The system recovers acid, lead paste, lead grids, and plastic shells with high efficiency. Our rotary furnaces achieve superior lead recovery rates compared to traditional blast furnaces, while the integrated air pollution control system ensures compliance with environmental standards. Capacity options span 1 to 10 MT per hour.
With the explosive growth of electric vehicles and portable electronics, lithium battery recycling has become critical. Our lithium battery recycling plants safely discharge, crush, and separate waste batteries to recover black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic. Capacities range from 500 to 2,500 kg/hour, with custom configurations available for specific battery chemistries.
Printed circuit boards are treasure troves of copper and precious metals. Our circuit board recycling equipment uses both dry and wet separation technologies to achieve copper powder purity of 96-98% with recovery rates around 95%. Depending on your material mix and local regulations, we can configure air-separation or water-based systems with capacities from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour.

Global Reach, Local Understanding
San Lan Technologies has installed equipment and delivered projects in more than 21 countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Our customer base spans from Singapore to Colombia, Vietnam to Mexico, South Africa to Saudi Arabia. This global footprint has given us deep insight into diverse regulatory environments, material characteristics, and operational challenges.
Being essentially bilingual in English and Chinese, combined with our understanding of intercultural business environments, allows us to communicate precisely with clients worldwide and ensure that project specifications, training, and documentation are perfectly aligned with local expectations.
Quality and Environmental Compliance
Every piece of equipment we manufacture is engineered with environmental compliance in mind. Our lead acid battery recycling plants include integrated air pollution control systems and water treatment facilities. Lithium battery recycling lines feature gas absorption and neutralization systems. Circuit board plants can be configured with pulse bag dust collectors and cyclone separators to eliminate airborne particulates.
We understand that regulatory standards vary by country, and we design our systems to meet or exceed local environmental requirements. This commitment not only protects your license to operate but also positions your facility as a responsible steward of the environment.
