Turning waste into value requires the right technology, experience, and a partner who understands your goals from day one.
Every year, millions of tons of electronic waste are discarded worldwide, yet only a fraction undergoes proper recycling. For businesses looking to enter or expand in the recycling industry, the difference between profit and loss often comes down to one decision: choosing the right equipment supplier. A reliable recycling plant does not just reduce environmental harm; it transforms discarded materials into valuable raw materials that can re-enter the supply chain.
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been at the forefront of this transformation since 2007. Based in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, the company designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of WEEE recycling machines and ore extraction equipment. With customers in over 21 countries, San Lan has built its reputation on solid engineering, customized plant design, and long-term customer support.
Why Recycling Equipment Quality Matters
Not all recycling equipment is created equal. Machines with poor separation accuracy, low throughput, or excessive downtime can quickly erode profitability. High-quality equipment, on the other hand, delivers consistent output, meets environmental regulations, and reduces operational costs over the long term.
San Lan understands this reality because its engineers have spent nearly two decades refining machine designs based on real-world feedback from recycling operators. The technical team includes professionals with master's degrees in mechanical engineering and over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machine design and commissioning. This depth of expertise ensures that every machine and plant leaving the factory is optimized for practical performance, not just theoretical efficiency.
Core Recycling Solutions for Diverse Waste Streams
Different waste streams require different approaches. San Lan offers specialized equipment across multiple categories, allowing clients to build integrated recycling plants tailored to their local feedstock.
Used lead acid batteries remain one of the most recycled consumer products globally. San Lan provides complete lead acid battery recycling equipment lines, including battery cutters, breaking and separation systems, de-sulfurization units, rotary furnaces, blast furnaces, refinery kettle furnaces, filter presses, water treatment plants, and air pollution control systems. Capacities range from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour, with lead recovery rates designed to meet industry benchmarks.
As electric vehicles and portable electronics proliferate, lithium battery recycling has become a critical industry. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plants handle capacities from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour, separating black mass, plastic, copper, and aluminum through a multi-stage process that includes discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, and magnetic separation.
Scrap cable represents a high-value feedstock when processed correctly. San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers, wet and dry cable granulators, and complete cable recycling plants. These systems separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with high purity, making the recovered metal suitable for direct resale or further refining.
Printed circuit boards contain precious metals and copper that should not end up in landfills. San Lan offers both wet and dry circuit board recycling equipment, with capacities from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour. Copper powder purity reaches 96–98%, and the closed-loop water system in wet separation models minimizes environmental discharge.
Additional product lines cover refrigerator and air conditioner recycling, CRT cutting and separation, motor stator dismantling, lamp recycling, metal shredding, hydraulic pressing and baling, and medium-frequency metal melting furnaces. This breadth allows San Lan to serve as a single-source supplier for complex, multi-stream recycling facilities.
EPC Project Execution and Customized Design
Buying individual machines is only part of the challenge. Integrating them into a smoothly operating plant requires engineering experience that many equipment traders simply do not possess. San Lan offers full EPC services: engineering design, equipment procurement, installation supervision, and commissioning support. Each plant layout is customized to the client's available space, power supply, labor conditions, and target throughput.
This turnkey capability reduces the risk of costly mismatches between equipment and site conditions. It also shortens the time from contract signing to first production, allowing investors to start generating returns sooner.
Beyond Equipment: Real Business Support
San Lan differentiates itself by offering practical business support that goes far beyond the factory gate. For new entrants to the recycling industry, the company can assist with sourcing waste materials such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries. On the output side, San Lan helps connect clients with buyers of recovered products, including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots.
The company is also open to investment and partnership arrangements for recycling plant construction, sharing its strategic experience in building recycling businesses from the ground up. For clients navigating international trade, San Lan's bilingual team bridges language and cultural gaps, ensuring clear communication throughout the project lifecycle.
A Global Footprint Built on Trust
San Lan's machines are currently operating in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond. This geographic diversity reflects the adaptability of the equipment and the company's willingness to work with clients across different regulatory environments, climate conditions, and operational scales.
Each market presents unique challenges, from voltage standards to emission regulations. San Lan's experience in customizing plants for these varied conditions means new clients benefit from lessons learned across dozens of previous installations.
