Every year, millions of tons of used batteries, scrap cables, old circuit boards, and end-of-life appliances pile up in warehouses and landfills. For many businesses, this waste is a headache. For smart entrepreneurs, it is an opportunity. The global demand for recycled copper, lead, lithium, and precious metals is rising steadily, and governments worldwide are tightening environmental rules that make proper recycling not just responsible, but profitable. The key question is: where do you get equipment that actually works?
A Partner With Real Experience
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been building recycling machinery since 2007 from its manufacturing base in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China. The company does not just assemble machines from off-the-shelf parts. Its technical team includes mechanical engineers with master's degrees and over 15 years of direct experience in e-waste recycling equipment design. That depth matters when your plant needs to run 24/7 in tough conditions.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling: From Scrap to Pure Lead
Used lead acid batteries are one of the most recyclable materials on earth, yet they contain sulfuric acid and toxic lead compounds that demand careful handling. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment covers the full production line: hydraulic battery cutters, breaking and separation systems, de-sulfurization units, filter presses, blast furnaces, rotary furnaces, lead refinery kettles, water treatment plants, and air pollution control systems.
Breaking and separation capacity ranges from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour. The blast furnace achieves a 95% lead recovery rate, while the refinery kettle produces 99.999% pure lead. Customers can choose natural gas, diesel, or electric heating for the refinery kettle, with the electric near-infrared option saving 30–50% on energy costs. Every stage is designed to meet environmental emissions standards.
Lithium Battery Recycling: Capturing Critical Materials
The explosion of electric vehicles and portable electronics has created a massive new waste stream: spent lithium-ion batteries. These batteries contain valuable nickel, cobalt, graphite, copper, and aluminum that recyclers cannot afford to lose. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes 500 to 2,500 kg per hour through a complete chain: discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation of iron and steel, black powder separation, plastic pneumatic conveying, hydraulic briquetting, and exhaust gas treatment. The result is clean separation of black mass, copper, aluminum, and compressed plastic blocks ready for resale.
Cable Recycling: Clean Copper and Aluminum Recovery
Scrap cable is money hiding in plastic insulation, but only if you separate it cleanly. San Lan offers a complete range of cable recycling equipment for every scale and cable type. Manual and electric scrap cable strippers handle diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm. For higher volumes, cable granulators with dry separators process scrap into pure copper and aluminum fractions. Wet separation systems are available for complex cables such as jelly-filled telecom lines. Whether you process a few hundred kilograms or multiple tons per day, there is a configuration that fits your budget and target capacity.
Circuit Board Recycling: Unlocking Metal Value
Printed circuit boards contain copper, gold, silver, and palladium, but also hazardous substances that require controlled processing. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment includes both dry and wet separation technologies. Dry systems combine air separators, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, cyclones, and pulse bag dust collectors to achieve 96–98% copper powder purity without dust emissions. Wet systems can process PCB waste with electronic components still attached, using water-based metal separation for safe recovery. Capacities range from 300 kg/hour for smaller operations up to 2,000 kg/hour and beyond for industrial-scale plants.
More Than Machines: Full Project Support
San Lan stands out from catalog suppliers because it understands that buying equipment is only part of the challenge. The company has deep experience in EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects, offering customized plant layout design, one-stop equipment supply, installation, and commissioning. San Lan can even help customers source raw material feedstock — cable scrap, PCB scrap, used lead acid batteries — and assist in selling finished products like copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots. For larger ventures, San Lan connects investors and construction partners to help get the project funded and built.
Equipment Operating in 21+ Countries
San Lan's recycling plants are running in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and other markets. This global footprint is built on competitive pricing, reliable performance, and bilingual support in English and Chinese. The team understands cross-cultural business environments and provides responsive communication from first inquiry through after-sales service.
