Turning E-Waste into Value: How San Lan Technologies Helps Recyclers Capture Hidden Profits
Every year, businesses and consumers discard millions of tons of electronic devices, batteries, and cables. Most see waste. Smart recyclers see opportunity. The lead, copper, lithium, and precious metals locked inside these materials are worth billions—and demand for recovered raw materials has never been higher. The only question is whether your operation has the right technology to extract that value efficiently and profitably.
Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been manufacturing the equipment that makes this extraction possible.
Complete Battery Recycling Systems
Lead acid batteries remain one of the most recycled products on earth, with established collection networks and strong metal prices. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment covers the entire process chain: battery breaking and separation, paste de-sulfurization, smelting in rotary or blast furnaces, and refining to 99.999% purity. Capacities range from 1 to 10 MT per hour. Integrated air pollution control and water treatment systems keep your facility compliant with environmental regulations worldwide.
For lithium-ion batteries—the power source behind the electric vehicle revolution—San Lan offers complete lithium battery recycling plants processing 500 to 2,500 kg per hour. These systems safely discharge, crush, and separate batteries into black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic fractions. An enclosed air pollution control system captures and neutralizes hazardous gases, protecting both workers and the environment.
Cable and Circuit Board Recovery
Scrap cable is copper and aluminum in disguise. San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes manual and automatic strippers handling diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, plus high-capacity granulators with dry and wet separators. The result is clean metal granules—known in the industry as copper rice—ready for smelting or direct sale to metal refiners.
Printed circuit boards contain some of the highest concentrations of valuable metals in the e-waste stream. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment recovers copper powder at 96–98% purity with overall recovery rates above 95%. Both dry separation (air and electrostatic) and wet separation (water metal separation) configurations are available, depending on your local environmental rules and feedstock characteristics.
From Machines to Full Plant Partnerships
San Lan does more than ship equipment. The company's engineering team holds master's degrees in mechanical engineering and brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling plant design. Customers benefit from:
- Customized plant layouts based on your site, budget, and target materials
- One-stop procurement of all auxiliary equipment
- Installation, commissioning, and operator training
- Assistance sourcing feedstock (battery scrap, cable scrap, PCB scrap)
- Help connecting with buyers for your recovered products (copper rice, lead ingots, etc.)
- Investor introductions for greenfield recycling projects
This EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) capability turns a complex plant build into a managed, predictable process.
Proven in 21+ Countries
San Lan's machines are operating across six continents, with installations in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Zambia. The company's bilingual English-Chinese team understands the regulatory, logistical, and cultural nuances of international projects, ensuring smooth communication from first inquiry to final acceptance.
