The global mountain of discarded electronics grows larger every year. Beneath the surface of that waste lies a concentrated supply of recoverable lead, copper, lithium, aluminum, and precious metals — resources that can return to the supply chain instead of leaking into the environment. Extracting them profitably and safely requires more than a single machine. It takes a complete recycling system engineered by people who understand the material from the inside out.
Who Is San Lan Technologies?
Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has designed and manufactured WEEE recycling machinery and mining equipment from its base in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China. The company’s technical team holds master’s degrees in mechanical engineering and brings more than 15 years of direct experience in e-waste recycling plant design. That depth of knowledge shows in the equipment — and in the results delivered to clients in over 21 countries, from Singapore and Malaysia to Mexico, Colombia, and South Africa.
Equipment That Covers the Full Recycling Chain
San Lan does not focus on one niche. It builds complete processing lines for the most common — and most valuable — categories of electronic and electrical waste.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling
Used lead acid batteries remain one of the most recycled consumer products in the world, but only when the right equipment is in place. San Lan’s lead acid battery recycling equipment handles the full flow: cutting, breaking, separating, de-sulfurizing, smelting, and refining. Capacities range from 1 to 10 MT per hour, and the system recovers acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste with high efficiency. Options include rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces with 95% lead recovery, and refinery kettles that reach 99.999% purity using near-infrared electric heating to cut energy use by 30–50%.
Lithium Battery Recycling
As electric vehicles and consumer electronics expand, so does the stream of end-of-life lithium-ion cells. San Lan’s li battery recycling equipment processes 500–2,500 kg per hour through discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, and magnetic separation. The output is clean separation of black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, plus recoverable plastic, copper, and aluminum. Air pollution control systems and pneumatic plastic conveying are available to close the environmental loop.
Circuit Board Recycling
Printed circuit boards carry some of the highest concentrations of copper and precious metals in the e-waste stream. San Lan supplies both wet and dry circuit board recycling equipment with capacities from 300 kg/hour up to 2,000 kg/hour. Dry air-separation plants achieve copper powder purity of 96–98% and recovery rates near 95%, while wet separation options handle boards still carrying electronic components. Pulse bag dust collectors keep the process clean.
Cable Recycling
Scrap cable is often the first material entrepreneurs target when entering the recycling business, because the economics are immediate and transparent. San Lan’s cable recycling equipment spans the full range: manual and powered scrap cable strippers for diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, plus compact and industrial granulators with dry separators that turn mixed cable waste into clean copper or aluminum granules and separated plastic.
Beyond Machines: End-to-End Project Support
San Lan operates as more than a manufacturer. For clients who need it, the company delivers full EPC services — engineering, procurement, and construction — with customized plant layouts, installation, and commissioning. The team also helps source incoming waste material, such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries, and assists in selling the recovered output, including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots. That integrated approach reduces the risk for new entrants and helps experienced operators scale faster.
Additional Product Lines
San Lan’s catalog extends to support equipment and adjacent applications: hydraulic briquetters and balers for metal chips, four-shaft and twin-shaft shredders for pre-processing bulky e-waste, CRT cutters with ni-chrome or diamond cutting systems, refrigerator and air-conditioner recycling lines with refrigerant extraction, motor stator cutters, lamp recycling machines with mercury capture, and medium-frequency induction furnaces for melting recovered metals into ingots. For mining clients, lithium ore extraction plants and nano ceramic grinding media are also available.
