The global surge in electronic waste presents both a pressing environmental challenge and a significant business opportunity. With millions of tons of discarded electronics, used batteries, and scrap cables generated annually, recycling plants worldwide are seeking reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions to turn waste into valuable raw materials. Choosing the right recycling equipment supplier is critical to achieving high recovery rates, maintaining environmental compliance, and ensuring long-term profitability.
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd., established in 2007 and based in Jiangxi Province, China, has spent nearly two decades developing and manufacturing comprehensive WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment. With customers spanning over 21 countries including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, and South Africa, San Lan has built a reputation for delivering robust, customizable recycling plant solutions tailored to diverse operational needs.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling: Recovering Lead and Plastic at Scale
Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recyclable waste streams, yet improper handling poses severe environmental and health risks. San Lan offers complete lead acid battery recycling equipment designed to safely break, separate, and recover valuable materials.
- Battery Breaking and Separation Systems — Capacity ranging from 1 to 10 MT per hour, separating lead paste, lead grids, plastic shells, and acid with high efficiency.
- Lead Smelting Rotary Furnaces — Designed for paste reduction with capacities from 2 to 20 MT per batch, offering higher lead recovery rates compared to traditional blast furnaces.
- Blast (Cupola) Furnaces — Capable of processing 40 to 100 MT per 24 hours with lead recovery rates up to 95%.
- Lead Refinery Kettle Furnaces — Refining crude lead to 99.999% purity, available in natural gas, diesel, or electric heated configurations.
- De-sulfurization Units — Removing sulfur from lead paste to reduce melting temperatures, cut SO2 emissions, and lower energy consumption.
- Air Pollution Control and Water Treatment Systems — Ensuring full environmental compliance throughout the recycling process.
By integrating these components into a complete plant, operators can achieve consistent, high-purity lead output while meeting strict environmental regulations.
Lithium Battery Recycling: Capturing Critical Materials
As electric vehicles and portable electronics continue to dominate global markets, the demand for sustainable li battery recycling equipment has never been greater. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plants are engineered to safely process waste lithium-ion batteries and recover black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with separated copper, aluminum, and plastic.
- Lithium Battery Recycling Plants — Processing capacities from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour, including discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, black powder separation, and magnetic separation of ferrous materials.
- Air Pollution Control Systems — Specifically designed to absorb and neutralize harmful gases generated during lithium battery crushing.
- Plastic Pneumatic Conveying and Hydraulic Briquetting Systems — Collecting and compressing plastic separator film into manageable blocks with a volume compression ratio of 10:1.
These systems address the unique safety challenges of lithium battery recycling, including fire risks and toxic gas emissions, while maximizing the recovery of valuable critical minerals.
Circuit Board and Cable Recycling: Unlocking Hidden Metal Value
Printed circuit boards and scrap cables contain substantial amounts of copper, precious metals, and aluminum that can be recovered profitably with the right technology. San Lan provides both wet and dry separation circuit board recycling equipment to match different operational requirements and local environmental standards.
- Circuit Board Recycling Plants — Capacities from 300 to 2,000 kg per hour, with copper powder purity reaching 96% to 98% and recovery rates up to 95%.
- Dry Separation Systems — Incorporating air separators, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, cyclones, and pulse dust collectors for dust-free operation.
- Wet Separation Systems — Mechanical automated processes ideal for PCB waste containing components, with stable operation and high recovery rates.
For cable recycling equipment, San Lan offers a comprehensive range including scrap cable strippers for cables from 1.5mm to 150mm in diameter, compact cable granulators with dry separators, and large-capacity cable recycling plants. These machines effectively separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation, delivering clean, marketable metal granules.
Supporting Equipment for Complete Recycling Operations
Beyond core recycling lines, San Lan manufactures essential auxiliary equipment that enables integrated, efficient plant operations:
- Shredders and Pre-choppers — Single, twin, and four-shaft shredders with capacities from 200 kg to 6 MT per hour for pre-processing diverse e-waste materials.
- Hydraulic Press Machines — Metal chip compactors, briquetting machines, and balers for densifying metal powders and recyclable materials.
- Refrigerator and AC Recycling Systems — Including refrigerant extraction machines, compressor cutters, and shredding and separating plants processing 20 to 30 units per hour.
- CRT Recycling Machines — Ni-chrome heater and diamond cutter models for safely dismantling CRT monitors and TVs.
- Motor Recycling Equipment — Hydraulic motor stator cutters for extracting copper windings from cylindrical iron cores.
- Metal Melting Furnaces — Medium frequency induction furnaces capable of melting iron, copper, aluminum, tin, gold, and silver into ingots.
- Lamp Recycling Machines — Fluorescent tube crushers with HEPA and activated carbon filtration to capture mercury safely.
