Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: Turn Waste into Value with San Lan Technologies
With over 50 million metric tons of e-waste generated globally each year, the demand for efficient recycling solutions has never been greater. San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been at the forefront of this industry since 2007, helping businesses across 21+ countries transform discarded electronics into valuable raw materials. Whether you are entering the recycling market or scaling your existing operations, understanding the right equipment is the first step toward profitable and sustainable waste management.
The Growing Opportunity in E-Waste Recycling
Electronic waste contains precious metals, rare earth elements, and recoverable plastics that represent significant economic value. A single ton of printed circuit boards can contain up to 200 grams of gold, while used batteries hold recoverable lead, lithium, and cobalt. However, extracting these materials safely and efficiently requires specialized machinery designed for each waste stream. Without the right equipment, recyclers face low recovery rates, environmental compliance issues, and missed revenue opportunities.
San Lan Technologies addresses these challenges with a comprehensive portfolio of lead acid battery recycling equipment, lithium battery processing lines, circuit board recovery systems, and cable granulation machines. Each solution is engineered for high recovery rates, environmental safety, and operational efficiency.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling: From Waste to Pure Lead
Used lead acid batteries (ULAB) are one of the most recycled consumer products in the world, yet many recycling facilities still rely on outdated methods that produce low purity lead and harmful emissions. San Lan's integrated lead acid battery recycling equipment offers a modern alternative. The system begins with hydraulic battery cutters that safely open batteries and drain acid, followed by breaking and separation units that classify lead paste, lead grids, plastic shells, and hard rubber.
The lead paste then undergoes de-sulfurization to reduce melting temperatures and sulfur dioxide emissions. Smelting is handled by high-efficiency rotary furnaces or blast furnaces with capacities ranging from 40 to 100 metric tons per 24 hours, achieving lead recovery rates of 95% or higher. For final refinement, San Lan provides lead refinery kettle furnaces that produce 99.999% pure lead using near-infrared electric heating technology that saves 30% to 50% on energy costs compared to conventional fuel-fired systems.
Key Features of San Lan Lead Acid Battery Recycling Systems
- Capacity: 1-10 MT/hour for breaking and separation
- Lead recovery rate: up to 95% via blast furnace
- Refined lead purity: 99.999%
- Integrated air pollution control and wastewater treatment
- Energy-efficient electric refinery kettles available
Lithium Battery Recycling: Capturing Critical Materials
As electric vehicles and portable electronics continue to expand, spent lithium-ion batteries are becoming a critical secondary source of nickel, cobalt, graphite, and copper. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant handles the entire process from discharged cells to sorted fractions. The line includes pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation of ferrous metals, and precise separation of black mass containing valuable cathode materials.
Processing capacities range from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour, with custom designs available for larger operations. San Lan also supplies auxiliary systems including plastic pneumatic conveyors, hydraulic briquetters with 10:1 volume compression ratios, and dedicated air pollution control systems that neutralize harmful gases before atmospheric release. This integrated approach ensures compliance with environmental regulations while maximizing material recovery.
Circuit Board and Cable Recovery: Maximizing Metal Yields
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) and scrap cables represent two of the most valuable e-waste streams due to their high copper content. San Lan offers both dry and wet separation circuit board recycling equipment with capacities from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour. The dry separation plants use air classifiers, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, and pulse bag dust collectors to achieve copper powder purity of 96% to 98% with recovery rates around 95%. Wet separation systems are available for processing PCB waste with electronic components still attached, offering flexibility for mixed feedstock.
For cable recycling, San Lan provides a full range of solutions from manual and automatic scrap cable strippers for thick armored wires to compact and industrial cable granulators with dry separators. The granulators efficiently separate copper and aluminum conductors from plastic insulation, producing clean metal granules ready for direct melting or sale. Whether you process household wiring or industrial jelly-filled cables, San Lan has equipment matched to your volume and material type.
One-Stop EPC Solutions and Global Support
Beyond individual machines, San Lan specializes in turnkey EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects. From initial material testing and plant layout design to installation, commissioning, and operator training, San Lan's technical team provides end-to-end project management. The engineering team holds master's degrees in mechanical engineering and brings over 15 years of direct experience in e-waste recycling machinery design.

San Lan also offers value-added services that few competitors match. The company assists customers in sourcing waste feedstock such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries. For investors seeking to enter the recycling industry, San Lan provides partnership opportunities and plant construction consulting. After production begins, San Lan helps connect customers with buyers for recovered materials including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots, creating a complete circular economy loop.
Additional Equipment for Comprehensive Recycling Operations
San Lan's product range extends beyond the core recycling lines to cover nearly every aspect of e-waste and metal processing. The catalog includes shredders and pre-choppers for size reduction, from compact single-shaft units processing 300-500 kg/hour to heavy-duty four-shaft shredders handling 4-6 MT/hour. For end-of-life appliances, San Lan offers refrigerator and air conditioner recycling plants that safely extract refrigerants and separate metals, plastics, and polyurethane foam with recovery rates exceeding 90%.
Other specialized equipment includes CRT cutters for safe monitor and television disassembly, lamp recycling machines that capture mercury from fluorescent tubes, motor stator cutters for copper winding extraction, and medium-frequency induction furnaces for melting recovered metals into ingots. For mining operations, San Lan even supplies lithium ore extraction plants and nano ceramic grinding media for ball mills, demonstrating the company's deep expertise in both recycling and mineral processing.
