Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: Turnkey Equipment for Lead Acid Batteries, Circuit Boards, and Cables

The world is drowning in electronic waste. According to the UN Global E-waste Monitor 2024, global e-waste generation reached a record 62 million tonnes in 2022, and this figure is projected to climb to 82 million tonnes by 2030. Alarmingly, only 22.3% of this waste was formally documented as collected and recycled. The rest is landfilled, incinerated, or informally processed, releasing toxic substances into the environment and wasting billions of dollars in recoverable materials.

For businesses looking to enter or expand in the recycling industry, the opportunity is massive, but so is the challenge. Success depends on having the right equipment, the right process, and the right partner. That is where San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd comes in.

Since 2007, San Lan Technologies has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing lead acid battery recycling equipment. Our complete lead acid battery recycling plants can process 1 to 10 MT per hour, breaking and separating used batteries into four valuable outputs: lead paste, lead grid, plastic (PVC/PP), and hard rubber.

The integrated system includes:

• Hydraulic battery cutters that split batteries in 45 seconds per piece
• Advanced breaking and separation systems with precise classification
• De-sulfurization units that reduce SO2 emissions and lower melting temperatures
• Blast (cupola) furnaces with 95% lead recovery rate and 40–100 MT daily capacity
• Rotary furnaces for lead paste reduction with higher recovery than blast furnaces
• Lead refinery kettle furnaces producing 99.999% pure lead, with energy-saving electric heating options
• Filter presses, water treatment plants, and air pollution control systems for full environmental compliance

Every component is engineered to meet strict environmental requirements while maximizing metal recovery and operational efficiency.

As electric vehicles and portable electronics surge in popularity, lithium-ion battery waste is becoming one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plants handle capacities from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour, efficiently separating black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic film, copper, and aluminum.

Our integrated lithium battery recycling lines include discharging stations, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation of iron and steel, black powder separation, plastic pneumatic conveying systems, hydraulic briquetting with a 10:1 volume compression ratio, and dedicated air pollution control systems to neutralize harmful gases before emission. Custom designs are available to match your specific feedstock and capacity requirements.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are treasure troves of copper and precious metals, but they require specialized processing to recover these materials safely and efficiently. San Lan offers both dry and wet circuit board recycling equipment with capacities ranging from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour.

Our dry separation plants achieve copper powder purity of 96–98% with a 95% recovery rate, using air separators, electrostatic separators, vibrating screens, cyclones, and pulse bag dust collectors. Wet separation systems provide an environmentally friendly alternative with equally high recovery rates. Whether you process PCBs with or without electronic components, we have a solution tailored to your needs.

Scrap cable is one of the most accessible and profitable materials in the recycling business. San Lan's cable recycling equipment covers the entire workflow, from scrap cable strippers handling diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, to compact and large-scale cable granulators with dry separators that turn mixed cable waste into clean copper or aluminum granules separated from plastic insulation.

With models like the WCD-200C compact granulator and the WCD-1200S high-capacity machine, our cable recycling plants serve both emerging recyclers and established operations looking to scale up production.

What sets San Lan apart is not just the breadth of our product range, but the depth of our expertise. Our technical team includes master's degree engineers with over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machinery. We provide full EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) services, from customized plant design and one-stop equipment supply to installation, commissioning, and operator training.

San Lan's reputation extends far beyond China. We have successfully supplied recycling equipment to customers in more than 21 countries, including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Zambia. This global footprint reflects our commitment to quality, reliability, and long-term customer partnerships.
