Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: Turnkey Plants from San Lan Technologies
From lead acid batteries to circuit boards, discover how San Lan's 17 years of expertise delivers profitable, compliant recycling operations worldwide.
The global surge in electronic waste has created both an environmental challenge and a business opportunity. With regulations tightening across every continent, companies that invest in professional
recycling equipment today are positioning themselves as leaders in the circular economy of tomorrow. Yet choosing the right machinery partner can mean the difference between a plant that struggles with downtime and one that runs at peak efficiency for decades.
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has spent over 17 years bridging that gap. Headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, the company designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment. Their portfolio spans 13 product categories and approximately 60 individual machines, serving clients across more than 21 countries including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Zambia.
What sets San Lan apart? Unlike suppliers who simply sell machines, San Lan operates as a full-cycle partner, offering EPC project delivery, customized plant design, one-stop purchasing, installation and commissioning, raw material sourcing assistance, investor matching, and even help selling recovered materials such as copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling: From Scrap to Pure Lead
Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recyclable waste streams on the planet, with up to 99% of their material recoverable. However, the process demands specialized
lead acid battery recycling equipment that can safely break, separate, and smelt components while controlling acid, dust, and sulfur emissions.
San Lan's Integrated Lead Acid Battery Recycling Line
Capacity: 1-10 MT/hour. The system breaks and separates batteries into four streams, acid, lead paste, lead grid, and plastic (PVC/PP or hard rubber). Downstream smelting options include a blast (cupola) furnace reaching 1800°C with 95% lead recovery, or a rotary furnace for paste reduction that achieves higher recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces. For operators seeking maximum purity, the lead refinery kettle furnace refines crude lead to 99.999% purity, with electric infrared heating options that save 30-50% energy compared to gas or diesel systems.
Supporting equipment includes a de-sulfurization unit that removes sulfur from PbSO4 before smelting, reducing SO2 emissions and saving on energy and additives. An air pollution control system and water treatment plant ensure full environmental compliance, while a filter press (800x800mm plates, 60m² filtration area) efficiently collects lead paste from slurry.
Cable Recycling: Maximizing Copper and Aluminum Recovery
Scrap cables are a high-value feedstock when processed correctly. San Lan's
cable recycling equipment covers the entire workflow from pre-processing to final separation.
Cable Granulators and Strippers
The WCD series cable granulators handle capacities from 100 kg/hour up to 1200 kg/hour, using dry separation technology to produce clean copper and aluminum granules. For larger diameter cables, scrap cable strippers (models D01-6B, D01-8A, D01-8B) pre-process material with diameters ranging from 1.5mm to 150mm, achieving throughputs up to 15,000 kg per 10-hour shift. A dedicated jelly-filled cable recycling plant (WCW-500J) addresses specialized telecom and underground cable types that standard granulators cannot process.
Circuit Board Recycling: Recovering Precious Metals and Copper
Printed circuit boards contain concentrated amounts of copper, gold, silver, and palladium, but their complex composition requires precision machinery. San Lan offers both wet and dry separation
circuit board recycling equipment to match different operational and regulatory environments.
WCB and WCBD Series PCB Recycling Plants
Capacities range from 300 kg/hour (WCBD-300A dry separator) to 2000 kg/hour (WCB-2000C wet separator). Dry separation plants achieve copper powder purity of 96-98% with 95% recovery rates, integrating air separators, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, cyclones, and pulse bag dust collectors for zero dust pollution. Wet separation systems use water-based metal separation and can process PCB waste complete with electronic components, making them ideal for operations with complex mixed feedstock.
Lithium Battery Recycling: Meeting the EV Revolution
As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, the volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries is growing exponentially. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes 500-2,500 kg/hour, breaking and separating batteries to recover black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic separators, copper, and aluminum. The line includes discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation of iron and steel, and dedicated air pollution control systems that neutralize harmful gases before atmospheric release. A plastic pneumatic conveying system feeds separator film into a hydraulic briquetter that compresses material at a 10:1 volume ratio for efficient storage and transport.
Beyond Batteries and Boards: A Full Spectrum of Solutions
San Lan's expertise extends across the entire e-waste landscape:
- CRT Recycling: CRTC-002 cutter with Ni-chrome heating wire processes 14-33 inch monitors in 90 seconds per unit; diamond cutter option achieves 25 seconds per unit.
- Refrigerator & AC Recycling: Model RSS-030 shredding and separating plant handles 20-30 units per hour, recovering over 90% of iron, copper, aluminum, plastic, and polyurethane.
- Motor Recycling: MSC-500 stator cutter uses hydraulic force to break cylindrical cores and extract copper windings efficiently.
- Shredders: Single, twin, and four-shaft shredders from 200 kg/hour to 6 MT/hour serve as pre-choppers for cables, PCBs, batteries, refrigerators, and washing machines.
- Lithium Ore Extraction: Crude ore processing plants (500-5,000 MT/day) and tailing ore extraction plants (500-2,000 MT/day) achieve 75% total recovery rates, outperforming the 65% industry average.
- Lamp Recycling: FLTR-001 bulb eater crushes 350 fluorescent tubes per hour while capturing mercury through HEPA and activated carbon filters.
- Metal Melting: Medium frequency induction furnaces from 15KW/4KG to 160KW/250KG handle iron, copper, aluminum, tin, gold, and silver.

San Lan's technical team holds master's degrees in mechanical engineering and brings over 15 years of direct experience in e-waste recycling machinery design. This depth of expertise translates into machines that are not only mechanically robust but also optimized for the real-world challenges operators face: inconsistent feedstock, varying regulatory requirements, and the need to maximize recovery rates while minimizing operating costs.
The company's EPC capability means clients receive a single point of accountability from design through commissioning. San Lan provides layout and composite engineering design, supervises plant erection, commissions the entire system, and trains local personnel. For entrepreneurs entering the recycling sector, San Lan goes further by helping secure waste material supply chains, identifying investors, and establishing sales channels for recovered commodities.
Language and cultural fluency matter. San Lan's essentially bilingual English and Chinese capabilities, combined with deep understanding of intercultural business environments, ensure smooth communication throughout project execution, whether the client is in Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa, or the Middle East.
