Turning E-Waste into Profit: Complete Recycling Solutions from San Lan Technologies

The world generates over 50 million metric tons of electronic waste annually, and this number continues to grow. For businesses, this represents both a challenge and a significant opportunity. With the right recycling equipment, what was once considered waste can be transformed into valuable raw materials—copper, aluminum, lead, and precious metals. San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, established in 2007, has been at the forefront of this transformation, providing comprehensive WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment to customers across more than 21 countries.

Based in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd is a professional manufacturer specializing in e-waste recycling plant and mining equipment. With nearly two decades of experience, the company has built a reputation for delivering reliable, efficient, and environmentally compliant recycling solutions. Their team includes technical professionals with master's degrees in mechanical engineering and over 15 years of hands-on experience in the recycling industry.

San Lan's vision is clear: to build the leading international brand in WEEE and e-waste recycling by deeply understanding customer requirements, fostering win-win cooperation, and delivering excellent service through professional international marketing and customer relationship management.

Used lead acid batteries (ULAB) are one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet proper recycling requires specialized machinery. San Lan offers complete lead acid battery recycling equipment that handles the entire process—from breaking and separation to smelting and refining.

Their lead acid battery recycling plant includes battery cutters, breaking and separation systems, filter presses, de-sulfurization units, rotary furnaces, blast furnaces, lead refinery kettle furnaces, air pollution control systems, and water treatment plants. Capacities range from 1 to 10 MT per hour, with lead recovery rates reaching up to 95%. The electric heated refinery kettle uses near-infrared heating technology, saving 30–50% energy compared to conventional systems.

As electric vehicles and portable electronics continue to dominate the market, lithium battery recycling has become a critical industry. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes waste lithium batteries at capacities of 500–2500 kg per hour. The system breaks and separates batteries to recover black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum.

The complete line includes discharging stations, pre-crushing units, secondary granulation, black powder separation, magnetic separation of iron and steel, plastic pneumatic conveying systems, hydraulic briquetters, and dedicated air pollution control systems. This integrated approach ensures maximum material recovery while meeting strict environmental standards.

Scrap cables and printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain valuable copper and precious metals that should not end up in landfills. San Lan provides cable recycling equipment including scrap cable strippers and cable granulators with dry and wet separators. Their machines handle cable diameters from 1.5mm to 150mm, with capacities ranging from 200 kg to 1200 kg per hour.

For circuit board recycling, San Lan offers both dry and wet separation technologies. Their circuit board recycling equipment achieves copper powder purity of 96–98% with recovery rates up to 95%. The dry process plants include air separators, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, cyclones, and pulse dust collectors—ensuring no dust pollution and environmentally friendly operation.

Beyond batteries, cables, and circuit boards, San Lan manufactures a wide range of specialized equipment:

• Refrigerator and AC recycling plants with refrigerant extraction machines
• CRT recycling machines with ni-chrome heater and diamond cutter options
• Motor recycling machines including motor stator cutters
• Industrial shredders and pre-choppers (single shaft, twin shaft, four shaft)
• Hydraulic press machines, metal briquetters, and balers
• Lamp recycling machines including bulb eaters with mercury capture
• Medium frequency induction furnaces for metal melting
• Lithium ore extraction and tailing ore processing plants
• Nano ceramic grinding media for ball mills

Value-Added Services: San Lan goes beyond equipment supply. They help customers source waste materials (cable scrap, PCB scrap, used lead acid batteries), connect them with investors and partners for recycling plant construction, and assist in selling recovered products such as copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots.

Global Experience: With customers in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond, San Lan understands diverse market requirements and international standards.

Bilingual Support: The team is essentially bilingual in English and Chinese, with strong cross-cultural communication skills that ensure smooth international cooperation.
