Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: Turnkey Plants for Battery, Cable, and PCB Recovery

The world generates over 60 million metric tons of electronic waste every year, yet less than 20% is formally recycled. For entrepreneurs and established industrial operators alike, this gap represents both an environmental challenge and a significant business opportunity. Investing in the right recycling infrastructure allows you to recover valuable metals such as copper, lead, lithium, and precious metals while meeting increasingly strict environmental regulations.

Choosing a reliable partner for your recycling plant is critical. You need more than just machines; you need a complete solution that covers engineering design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, and after-sales support. That is exactly where San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd delivers value.

Comprehensive Equipment Portfolio for Every Stream

San Lan Technologies, established in 2007 and headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, specializes in manufacturing a full range of WEEE recycling machinery and ore extraction equipment. With nearly two decades of experience, the company has built a diverse product catalog that addresses the most common and profitable e-waste streams.

For operators looking to process used automotive and industrial batteries, lead acid battery recycling equipment from San Lan offers a complete process line. The system includes battery breaking and separation units, de-sulfurization systems, rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces, lead refinery kettles, filter presses, water treatment plants, and air pollution control systems. Capacities range from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour, giving both small-scale and large-scale operators viable options.

If your focus is on the rapidly growing lithium-ion battery market, San Lan provides lithium battery recycling plants with throughput capacities of 500 to 2,500 kg per hour. These systems safely discharge, crush, and separate waste lithium batteries into black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with recoverable plastic, copper, and aluminum fractions. Integrated air pollution control and plastic briquetting systems ensure the process remains environmentally compliant.

For scrap wire and cable processors, cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers, compact granulators with dry separators, wet separation systems, and heavy-duty shredders. These machines separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with high purity, turning waste cable into valuable metal concentrate that commands strong market prices.

Printed circuit board recycling is another major revenue stream. Circuit board recycling equipment from San Lan uses both dry and wet separation technologies to recover copper powder with 96-98% purity, along with precious metals. Capacities range from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour, and the dry process variants operate without water, eliminating wastewater discharge concerns.

Beyond Batteries and Boards: A Full Spectrum of Solutions

San Lan's product range extends well beyond the three core categories above. The company also manufactures CRT recycling machines with both ni-chrome heater and diamond cutter technologies, refrigerator and air conditioner recycling plants that safely extract refrigerants and separate metals and plastics, motor stator cutters for copper recovery from electric motors, and multi-purpose shredders for pre-processing various e-waste streams.

For mining and mineral processing applications, San Lan offers lithium ore extraction plants that process crude ore and tailings into high-grade lithium concentrate. The company also manufactures hydraulic press machines for metal chip briquetting, hydraulic balers for material compaction, medium-frequency induction furnaces for metal melting, and nano ceramic grinding media for ball mills.

This breadth of equipment means that San Lan can serve as a single-source supplier for operators running multiple recycling lines or for those looking to expand their capabilities over time.

Turnkey EPC Project Execution

One of the biggest hurdles in launching a recycling plant is coordinating between multiple vendors for design, equipment supply, civil works, installation, and commissioning. San Lan addresses this challenge directly by offering turnkey EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) services.

The company's technical team includes mechanical engineering professionals with over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machinery. From the initial layout and composite engineering design through equipment manufacturing, plant erection supervision, commissioning, and personnel training, San Lan manages the entire project lifecycle. This integrated approach reduces delays, minimizes interface risks, and ensures that the plant performs as designed from day one.

San Lan also provides value-added services that many equipment suppliers do not offer. The team can assist clients in sourcing waste feedstock such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries. On the output side, San Lan helps customers find buyers for recovered products including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots. For clients seeking external investment or local partners for plant construction, San Lan can facilitate introductions and strategic discussions.

Global Experience, Local Understanding

San Lan Technologies has supplied equipment and complete plants to customers in more than 21 countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. This international footprint includes projects in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, and Israel.

Working across diverse regulatory environments and cultural contexts requires more than technical competence. The San Lan team is essentially bilingual in English and Chinese, with a demonstrated understanding of intercultural business practices. This communication advantage ensures that project requirements are clearly understood, contracts are transparent, and long-term support remains accessible.

Built for Compliance and Long-Term Operation

Environmental compliance is not optional in the recycling industry. San Lan designs its plants with integrated pollution control systems, including dust collection, gas scrubbing, and wastewater treatment units. Lead acid battery recycling lines incorporate de-sulfurization to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions, and lithium battery plants feature dedicated air pollution control systems to neutralize harmful gases before release.

Equipment is engineered for durability and ease of maintenance. For example, the lead refinery kettle furnace is available with energy-efficient electric infrared heating that can reduce energy consumption by 30-50% compared with conventional fuel-fired systems. Blast furnaces for lead recovery operate at up to 1,800 degrees Celsius with lead recovery rates reaching 95%.
