The Growing Opportunity in E-Waste Recycling
The world generates more than 60 million tonnes of electronic waste every year, yet less than a quarter is formally recycled. This gap represents both an environmental challenge and a significant business opportunity. For entrepreneurs and established recycling companies alike, investing in the right recycling equipment is the first step toward capturing this growing market.
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has spent nearly two decades helping businesses turn that opportunity into profit. Since 2007, the company has designed, manufactured, and commissioned complete recycling plants for clients across more than 21 countries.
Who Is San Lan Technologies?
Headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, San Lan Technologies is a professional manufacturer of WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment. The company employs a technical team with master’s degrees in mechanical engineering and over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machine design and operation.
What sets San Lan apart is not just the breadth of its product line, but its commitment to complete project delivery. The company offers full EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) services, from customized plant design and equipment manufacturing to installation, commissioning, and after-sales support.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
San Lan’s catalog covers virtually every major stream of electronic and electrical waste. Whether you are entering the battery recycling market or expanding into cable and PCB recovery, the company offers turnkey solutions with documented performance data.
- Lead Acid Battery Recycling Plant – Complete systems that break and separate used batteries to recover acid, plastic shell, lead grid, and lead paste at capacities from 1 to 10 MT per hour. Optional downstream smelting includes rotary furnace, blast furnace, and refinery kettle for 99.999% pure lead.
- Lithium Battery Recycling Plant – Physical separation lines for waste Li-ion batteries, recovering black mass (Ni, Co, graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic at 500–2,500 kg/hour. Integrated air-pollution control and pneumatic conveying systems keep emissions compliant.
- Circuit Board Recycling Plant – Dry and wet separation options for PCB waste, with copper powder purity reaching 96–98% and recovery rates up to 95%. Capacities range from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour.
- Cable Recycling Plant – Granulators and strippers that separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation. Models include compact dry-separator units and high-capacity wet-process lines.
- Refrigerator & AC Recycling Machines – End-of-life appliance processing lines with refrigerant extraction, compressor cutting, and shredding/separation for metals, plastics, and polyurethane foam.
- Shredders & Pre-Choppers – Single, twin, and four-shaft shredders for size reduction of PCB, cable, refrigerator, battery, and general e-waste feedstock.
- Auxiliary Equipment – Hydraulic briquetters, balers, filter presses, water-treatment plants, air-pollution control systems, and medium-frequency induction furnaces for metal ingot production.
For battery recyclers, San Lan provides specialized lead acid battery recycling equipment and li battery recycling equipment that meet environmental regulations while maximizing metal recovery. For cable and PCB processors, the company’s cable recycling equipment and circuit board recycling equipment deliver consistent separation quality with minimal dust and noise.
Value-Added Services That De-Risk Your Investment
Buying equipment is only part of the equation. San Lan supports customers through the full business lifecycle:
Feedstock Sourcing Assistance – The company helps clients locate and purchase waste materials such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries, reducing the time from plant startup to steady production.
Product offtake Support – San Lan assists in selling recovered commodities including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots, connecting operators to downstream buyers.
Investor & Partnership Matching – For customers seeking capital to build or expand a recycling plant, San Lan can introduce investors and strategic partners.
Custom Engineering – Every plant is tailored to local feedstock characteristics, environmental standards, and capacity targets. The engineering team adjusts crusher configurations, separation methods, and dust-collection layouts to match each project.
Global Reach, Local Understanding
San Lan’s customer base spans Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond. This global footprint has given the team deep experience with different regulatory environments, voltage standards, and operational cultures.
With bilingual English and Chinese capability, San Lan bridges communication gaps that often complicate international equipment procurement. From initial quotation to final commissioning, customers work with a single point of contact who understands both technical requirements and cross-cultural business practices.
Quality and Environmental Compliance
San Lan plants are designed with environmental compliance as a core requirement, not an afterthought. Air-pollution control systems, water-treatment plants, and sealed crushing processes minimize emissions and protect worker health. De-sulfurization units reduce sulfur content in lead paste before smelting, cutting SO2 emissions and energy consumption.
Equipment is built for industrial durability: shredder blades are hardened to HRC 56–62, rotary furnaces handle 2–20 MT batches, and cable granulators process up to 1,200 kg/hour with stable mechanical automation.
