Complete Recycling Plant Solutions for Lead-Acid, Lithium, and E-Waste Recovery
The global surge in electronic waste and used batteries has created both an environmental challenge and a significant business opportunity. With over 50 million metric tons of e-waste generated annually worldwide, the demand for efficient, scalable, and environmentally compliant recycling infrastructure has never been greater. Companies that invest in the right recycling technology today will be the leaders of the circular economy tomorrow.

San Lan's technical team includes mechanical engineering masters with over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machine design, installation, and commissioning. The company offers end-to-end support that extends beyond equipment supply — from helping customers source waste materials such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead-acid batteries, to assisting in the sale of recovered products including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling Equipment
Used lead-acid batteries (ULAB) represent one of the most recycled consumer products in the world, yet improper processing poses serious environmental and health risks. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment provides a complete, automated solution for breaking, separating, smelting, and refining used batteries into valuable raw materials.
Key System Components
- Battery breaking and separation systems with capacity of 1–10 MT/hour
- Hydraulic lead battery cutters with cutting speed of 45 seconds per piece
- De-sulfurization units to remove sulfur from lead paste and reduce SO2 emissions
- Blast (cupola) furnaces with lead recovery rates up to 95%
- Lead smelting rotary furnaces offering higher recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces
- Lead refinery kettle furnaces producing 99.999% pure lead with energy savings of 30–50%
- Integrated air pollution control and water treatment systems for full environmental compliance
The complete plant separates used lead-acid batteries into four distinct output streams: lead grid, lead paste, PVC/PP plastic, and hard rubber. Every stage is designed to maximize material recovery while meeting strict emission and effluent standards.
Lithium Battery Recycling Plant
As electric vehicles and portable electronics continue to dominate global markets, the volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries is accelerating rapidly. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant addresses this critical need with a fully integrated system that safely discharges, crushes, and separates waste Li-ion batteries into high-value fractions.
The li battery recycling equipment handles capacities from 500 to 2,500 kg/hour, recovering black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with separated plastic, copper, and aluminum streams. The process includes pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation of ferrous metals, and black powder separation. An air pollution control system is integrated to absorb and neutralize harmful gases before atmospheric release, ensuring safe and compliant operation.
Additional supporting equipment includes plastic pneumatic conveying systems and hydraulic briquetters that compress separator film into dense blocks with a volume compression ratio of 10:1, optimizing storage and transportation logistics.
Cable and Circuit Board Recovery Systems
Copper and precious metal recovery from scrap cables and printed circuit boards (PCBs) remains a highly profitable segment of the recycling industry. San Lan offers both dry and wet separation technologies to match varying feedstock characteristics and local environmental regulations.
The cable recycling equipment portfolio includes scrap cable strippers for diameters ranging from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, compact cable granulators with dry separators, and high-capacity cable recycling plants. These systems efficiently separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation, producing clean metal granules ready for direct smelting or resale.
For circuit board recycling, San Lan provides plants with capacities from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour, utilizing either air separation or wet metal separation. Copper powder purity reaches 96–98% with overall recovery rates of 95%, and the dry process configuration operates without dust pollution through integrated pulse bag dust collectors and cyclone separators.
Additional Product Lines
Beyond batteries, cables, and circuit boards, San Lan manufactures specialized equipment for CRT monitor recycling (panel and funnel separation with phosphor powder collection), refrigerator and air conditioner recycling (refrigerant extraction and shredding with metal/plastic/polyurethane separation rates exceeding 90%), electric motor dismantling, lamp recycling with mercury capture, and multi-purpose shredders for pre-processing various e-waste streams.
For mining and mineral processing applications, San Lan also supplies lithium ore extraction plants with daily capacities from 500 to 5,000 metric tons, including tailings reprocessing systems that improve total recovery rates to 75% compared to the industry average of 65%.
Turnkey EPC Project Delivery
San Lan distinguishes itself through comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) capabilities. Rather than simply selling individual machines, the company designs complete recycling plants tailored to customer capacity requirements, material types, local regulations, and budget constraints.
