Turnkey E-Waste Recycling Plant Solutions for Maximum Resource Recovery

Electronic waste represents one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. Discarded batteries, circuit boards, cables, and end-of-life appliances contain significant amounts of recoverable metals including copper, aluminum, lead, lithium, cobalt, and precious metals. Without proper processing, these materials pose serious environmental hazards while representing lost economic value.

Forward-thinking businesses recognize that investing in modern recycling infrastructure is not merely an environmental obligation but a profitable venture. The key lies in selecting the right technology partner who understands both the technical complexities and commercial realities of recycling operations.

Batteries constitute a major portion of hazardous e-waste, requiring specialized processing equipment to recover valuable materials safely and efficiently. San Lan Technologies offers complete systems for both established and emerging battery recycling markets.

For lead acid battery recycling equipment, San Lan provides integrated plants capable of processing 1-10 MT per hour. The system breaks and separates used lead acid batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste with high efficiency. The complete line includes battery cutters, breaking and separation systems, de-sulfurization units, rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces, lead refinery kettle furnaces achieving 99.999% purity, filter presses, water treatment plants, and air pollution control systems.

For the rapidly expanding lithium-ion battery market, San Lan's li battery recycling equipment handles 500-2,500 kg per hour. The system breaks and separates waste lithium batteries to recover black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with separated plastic, copper, and aluminum fractions. The process includes discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, black powder separation, magnetic separation of iron and steel, plastic pneumatic conveying, hydraulic briquetting, and dedicated air pollution control.

Printed circuit boards and cables represent some of the most valuable e-waste fractions due to their high copper content and presence of precious metals. San Lan Technologies delivers both wet and dry separation technologies to maximize recovery rates.

The circuit board recycling equipment product line includes systems ranging from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour capacity. Dry separation plants achieve copper powder purity of 96-98% with recovery rates up to 95%, utilizing air separators, dry vibrating screens, cyclone separators, electrostatic separators, and pulse bag dust collectors. Wet separation systems offer environmentally friendly mechanical automated processes with stable operation and high recovery rates.

For cable processing, San Lan provides a comprehensive range from scrap cable strippers handling diameters of 1.5mm to 150mm, to fully automated cable granulator systems. These machines separate copper and aluminum conductors from plastic insulation with high efficiency, producing clean metal fractions ready for direct smelting or sale.

What distinguishes San Lan Technologies from equipment-only suppliers is its comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) capability. Since 2007, the company has built extensive experience in delivering complete recycling plants from concept to commissioning.

This turnkey approach eliminates the complexity of coordinating multiple vendors and ensures seamless integration between process stages. Customers benefit from a single point of accountability and optimized plant performance from day one.

San Lan Technologies' engineering team combines master's-level mechanical engineering expertise with over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machine design and application. This deep technical knowledge translates into equipment that is robust, efficient, and easy to maintain in demanding industrial environments.

The company's equipment has been deployed across more than 21 countries including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Zambia, and Israel. This global footprint demonstrates adaptability to diverse regulatory frameworks, raw material qualities, and operational conditions.

Beyond standard recycling lines, San Lan also manufactures specialized equipment including CRT cutters with both Ni-chrome heater and diamond cutter technologies, refrigerator and AC recycling plants with refrigerant extraction and safe CFC handling, motor stator dismantling machines, lamp recycling systems with mercury capture, and medium frequency induction furnaces for metal ingot production.

Recognizing the interconnection between recycling and primary resource extraction, San Lan Technologies also offers lithium ore processing plants. The lithium crude ore processing plant converts raw ore to 4-5% grade lithium concentrate at capacities of 500-5,000 MT per day. For existing operations, the lithium tailing ore extraction plant recovers additional value from 0.25-0.3% grade tailings, reducing final tailings grade to 0.15% with a total recovery rate of 75% compared to the industry average of 65%.

Complementing these mineral processing lines, San Lan supplies nano ceramic grinding media for ball mills, tower mills, and vertical mills used in fine grinding applications. These high-performance grinding balls improve milling efficiency and reduce energy consumption in ore beneficiation circuits.
