From Scrap to Profit: Complete Recycling Plant Solutions for Lead Acid Batteries, Cables, and Circuit Boards

The global surge in electronic waste has created an unprecedented opportunity for recyclers worldwide. With over 62 million metric tons of e-waste generated annually and less than a quarter properly recycled, the demand for efficient, profitable recycling equipment has never been higher. Whether you are entering the recycling industry or scaling your existing operations, choosing the right technology partner determines your long-term success.

Why Professional Recycling Equipment Matters

Investing in professional-grade recycling equipment supplier solutions is not merely about compliance with environmental regulations. It directly impacts your recovery rates, operational costs, and profitability. Poorly designed machinery leads to material loss, excessive downtime, and failed environmental audits. In contrast, well-engineered systems maximize the recovery of valuable metals such as copper, lead, aluminum, and precious metals while minimizing labor and energy consumption.

San Lan Technologies: Your One-Stop Recycling Partner

Founded in 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has established itself as a professional manufacturer of WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment. Headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, the company brings together a technical support team with master's degrees in mechanical engineering and over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machines. This deep expertise translates into reliable, high-performance equipment trusted by clients across 21 countries.

Lead Acid Battery Recycling Plant

Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet many regions still lack adequate processing capacity. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment line covers the entire workflow from battery breaking to final lead refining.

The complete plant includes:

• Lead Acid Battery Breaking and Separation System: Processes 1-10 MT per hour, separating batteries into acid, lead paste, lead grid, and plastic components.
• Lead Smelting Rotary Furnace: Reduces lead paste to crude metallic lead with higher recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces. Capacity ranges from 2-20 MT per batch.
• Blast (Cupola) Furnace: Operates at temperatures up to 1800°C with a capacity of 40-100 MT per 24 hours and a lead recovery rate of 95%.
• Lead Refinery Kettle Furnace: Refines crude lead to 99.999% purity, available in natural gas, diesel, or energy-saving electric heated configurations.
• De-sulfurization Unit: Removes sulfur from PbSO4, lowering melting temperatures, reducing SO2 emissions, and saving energy.
• Water Treatment and Air Pollution Control Systems: Ensure full environmental compliance by treating acidic wastewater and neutralizing exhaust gases.

This integrated approach allows operators to safely convert hazardous waste into valuable lead ingots and plastic resins.

Cable Recycling Equipment

Copper and aluminum recovered from scrap cables command strong market prices. San Lan's comprehensive cable recycling equipment portfolio handles everything from thin communication wires to thick industrial power cables.

The product range includes:

• Scrap Cable Strippers: Multiple models handle cable diameters from 1.5mm to 150mm, separating copper or aluminum from plastic insulation with high efficiency.
• Cable Granulators (WCD Series): Dry separation systems process 100-1200 kg per hour, producing clean copper granules ready for smelting.
• Jelly-Filled Cable Recycling Plant: Specialized equipment designed for telecom cables filled with petroleum jelly.

With throughput options ranging from compact 100 kg/hour units to industrial 1200 kg/hour systems, San Lan ensures the right fit for every operation scale.

Circuit Board Recycling Plant

Printed circuit boards contain valuable copper and trace amounts of precious metals. San Lan offers both dry and wet separation technologies through its circuit board recycling equipment line.

Key systems include:

• WCBD Series (Air Separation): Dry process plants with capacities from 300-2000 kg/hour. Third-generation separation technology achieves copper powder purity of 96-98% with a 95% recovery rate.
• WCB Series (Wet Separation): Water-based metal separation systems capable of handling PCB waste with components intact. Capacities range from 500-2000 kg/hour.
• Complete Dust Collection: Pulse bag dust collectors and cyclone separators ensure a dust-free working environment.

Lithium Battery Recycling Plant

As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, spent lithium-ion batteries are becoming a critical secondary resource. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes 500-2500 kg per hour, separating black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum. The line includes discharging stations, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation, and dedicated air pollution control systems.

Beyond Equipment: Complete EPC and Value-Added Services

What truly distinguishes San Lan from equipment-only vendors is its comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) capability. The company supports customers through every phase of project development:

• Customized Plant Design: Tailored layouts based on material type, capacity targets, workshop space, and local regulations.
• One-Stop Purchasing: Single-source procurement of all machinery, auxiliaries, and pollution control systems.
• Installation and Commissioning: On-site technical supervision ensures smooth startup and operator training.
• Raw Material Sourcing Assistance: Help purchasing feedstock such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries.
• Product Sales Support: Assistance selling recovered materials including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots.
• Investment Partnership: Connecting customers with investors for recycling plant construction.

This turnkey approach eliminates the complexity of coordinating multiple suppliers and ensures seamless integration between process stages.

Global Reach and Proven Reliability

San Lan equipment operates in over 21 countries including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, and Zambia. This diverse international footprint demonstrates the adaptability of San Lan systems to different material streams, climates, and regulatory environments.

The company's bilingual English and Chinese support team ensures clear communication throughout project execution, while their understanding of intercultural business environments helps navigate the complexities of international trade.
