Turning E-Waste into Value: San Lan Technologies Complete Recycling Equipment Solutions

The global surge in electronic waste presents both an environmental challenge and a significant business opportunity. As regulations tighten and demand for recovered metals grows, companies entering the recycling sector need reliable equipment partners to achieve operational success. Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been engineering and manufacturing recycling machinery that helps businesses worldwide transform discarded electronics, batteries, and cables into valuable secondary raw materials.

Comprehensive Recycling Solutions Under One Roof

Headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, San Lan Technologies operates as a specialized manufacturer of WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment. The company maintains a diverse product catalog spanning 13 categories and approximately 60 individual products, enabling customers to source complete recycling lines from a single supplier.

Lead Acid Battery Recycling Systems

San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment covers the entire processing chain from battery breaking to final lead refining. The breaking and separation systems handle 1-10 MT/hour, separating batteries into acid, lead paste, lead grid, and plastic components. For lead extraction, rotary furnaces process 2-20 MT per batch with recovery rates exceeding traditional blast furnace methods. The blast furnace option achieves 95% lead recovery at 40-100 MT per 24-hour period. Supporting equipment includes de-sulfurization units that reduce SO2 emissions and energy consumption, filter presses with 60m² filtration area, water treatment plants for acidic wastewater, and lead refinery kettle furnaces capable of producing 99.999% pure lead. Integrated air pollution control systems ensure environmental compliance across the entire plant.

Lithium Battery Recovery Technology

As electric vehicle adoption accelerates globally, lithium battery recycling has become a critical growth area. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes 500-2500 kg/hour through a multi-stage system that includes discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, black powder separation, and magnetic separation of iron and steel. The output yields valuable black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, alongside separated plastic, copper, and aluminum fractions. Dedicated air pollution control systems neutralize harmful gases generated during crushing, while pneumatic conveying systems and hydraulic briquetters handle plastic separator film with a 10:1 volume compression ratio.

Circuit Board Processing Equipment

Printed circuit boards contain concentrated amounts of copper and precious metals, making them high-value recycling feedstock. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment offers both dry and wet separation technologies to match different operational requirements. Dry separation plants using air classification achieve 95% recovery rates with copper powder purity of 96-98%, while wet separation systems can process PCB waste with electronic components still attached. Capacities range from 300 kg/hour for smaller operations to 2000 kg/hour for industrial-scale facilities. All systems incorporate dust collection and pollution control measures.

Cable Recycling Machinery

Copper and aluminum recovery from scrap cables represents one of the most established recycling markets. San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes manual and automated scrap cable strippers handling wire diameters from 1.5mm to 150mm, compact granulators with integrated dry separators, and complete cable recycling plants. These systems effectively separate metallic conductors from plastic insulation, producing clean copper or aluminum granules ready for direct melting or resale.

Engineering Depth and Project Experience

San Lan's competitive advantage stems from deep technical expertise. The engineering team includes professionals holding master's degrees in mechanical engineering, backed by over 15 years of practical experience specifically in e-waste recycling machinery design and application. This specialization enables the company to address complex processing challenges that generalist equipment manufacturers often overlook.

The company has accumulated substantial experience in EPC project delivery, guiding recycling plant projects from initial concept through customized design, equipment procurement, installation, and commissioning. This turnkey capability reduces project complexity for clients, ensuring that mechanical components, electrical systems, and environmental controls work together as an integrated whole.

Global Installation Base

San Lan equipment currently operates across more than 21 countries, reflecting the company's ability to meet diverse regulatory, climatic, and operational requirements. The international customer base spans Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and additional markets.

This global presence has developed San Lan's capabilities in cross-cultural business communication. With essentially bilingual operations in English and Chinese, combined with sensitivity to intercultural business environments, the company effectively coordinates with international clients, freight forwarders, and local installation contractors.

Beyond Equipment: Business Enablement Services

Recognizing that equipment alone does not guarantee recycling business success, San Lan offers value-added services that support clients throughout their operational lifecycle:

Environmental Design Philosophy

San Lan integrates environmental protection into equipment design rather than treating it as an afterthought. Air pollution control systems capture and neutralize emissions from furnace operations and crushing processes. Water treatment plants handle acidic wastewater from battery recycling. Specialized systems capture mercury during lamp recycling operations. This design approach helps clients satisfy increasingly stringent environmental regulations while maintaining cost-effective operations.
