How San Lan Technologies Helps Global Clients Build Profitable E-Waste Recycling Operations

Trusted recycling equipment supplier since 2007, serving 21+ countries with complete turnkey solutions.

The world generates over 50 million metric tons of electronic waste every year, and that number continues to climb. For entrepreneurs and established businesses alike, this growing waste stream represents a significant economic opportunity, but only if you have the right technology and partner to transform discarded materials into valuable recovered resources. That is exactly where San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has built its reputation since 2007.

Based in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, San Lan Technologies has spent nearly two decades designing, manufacturing, and delivering complete lead acid battery recycling equipment, lithium battery recycling systems, circuit board recovery plants, cable granulators, and a wide range of other WEEE recycling machinery. The company does not simply sell machines. It partners with customers to build sustainable, profitable recycling operations from the ground up.

A Comprehensive Product Portfolio for Every Recycling Need

San Lan's strength lies in the breadth and depth of its product range. Whether your focus is batteries, cables, printed circuit boards, or large appliances, the company offers proven equipment engineered for high recovery rates and environmental compliance.

• Lead Acid Battery Recycling Plants - Complete systems that break and separate used batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste with capacities from 1 to 10 MT per hour. The line includes breaking and separation machines, de-sulfurization units, rotary furnaces, blast furnaces, refinery kettles, and air pollution control systems.
• Lithium Battery Recycling Plants - Advanced li battery recycling equipment that safely discharges, crushes, and separates waste lithium-ion batteries to recover black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with separated copper, aluminum, and plastic. Capacities range from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour.
• Circuit Board Recycling Plants - Both wet and dry separation systems designed to recycle printed circuit boards and extract copper powder with purity levels reaching 96-98%. Capacities from 300 kg to 2,000 kg per hour ensure scalability for operations of any size.
• Cable Recycling Machines - Granulators and strippers that separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation efficiently. The compact granulators with dry separators are especially popular for their ease of operation and high metal recovery rates.
• Refrigerator and AC Recycling Systems - End-to-end solutions that safely extract refrigerants before shredding and separating metals, plastics, and polyurethane foam with recovery rates exceeding 90%.
• Shredders and Pre-Choppers - Multi-purpose single, twin, and four-shaft shredders that handle everything from cables and circuit boards to refrigerators and batteries, preparing material for downstream processing.

Beyond Equipment: True EPC Partnership

What truly sets San Lan apart from many machinery vendors is its extensive experience in EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects. The company's technical team includes mechanical engineering master's degree holders with more than 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machine design and plant commissioning.

This consultative approach means clients do not receive an off-the-shelf package that almost fits. They receive a tailored solution optimized for their specific waste stream, budget, and production goals. From layout drawings to operator training, San Lan stays involved through startup and beyond.

Value-Added Services That Accelerate Success

San Lan understands that buying circuit board recycling equipment or a battery recycling plant is only the beginning of a successful recycling business. That is why the company offers a range of value-added services rarely found among equipment manufacturers.

For customers struggling to secure adequate feedstock, San Lan can assist with purchasing waste materials including cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries. On the output side, the company helps clients find buyers for recovered products such as copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots. For entrepreneurs with strong local waste access but limited capital, San Lan actively seeks investors and construction partners to help bring recycling plants to life.

This full-circle support model reflects San Lan's business philosophy: long-term partnerships built on win-win cooperation, not one-time transactions.

Proven Global Track Record

San Lan's equipment now operates in more than 21 countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. The customer list includes operations in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond.

This international footprint demonstrates that San Lan's machines are not only engineered for performance but also adapted to operate reliably under diverse conditions, from tropical humidity to arid climates, and across varying electrical standards and regulatory frameworks.

Commitment to Environmental Compliance

Modern recycling is not just about recovering valuable materials. It is about doing so responsibly. San Lan integrates environmental protection into every plant design. Air pollution control systems, water treatment plants, and refrigerant extraction machines ensure that recycling operations meet or exceed local environmental standards.

For example, the lead acid battery recycling line includes dedicated air pollution control for rotary furnaces and refinery kettles, plus wastewater treatment for acidic effluent. Lithium battery recycling plants feature gas absorption and neutralization systems to handle harmful emissions before they reach the atmosphere. These integrated solutions help clients obtain operating licenses and maintain community trust.
