Turnkey E-Waste Recycling Plants: Advanced Equipment for Battery, Cable, and PCB Recovery

The global surge in electronic waste presents both an environmental challenge and a lucrative business opportunity. With millions of tons of discarded electronics, used batteries, and scrap cables generated annually, the demand for efficient recycling solutions has never been higher. For entrepreneurs and established recyclers looking to capitalize on this growing market, investing in the right technology is the critical first step.

Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment. Headquartered in Jiangxi Province, China, the company has built a reputation as a trusted partner for recycling plant operators across more than 21 countries.

Comprehensive Recycling Solutions Under One Roof

Unlike suppliers that focus on a single product line, San Lan offers an integrated portfolio of recycling equipment spanning the full spectrum of e-waste materials.

For lead acid battery recycling equipment, San Lan provides complete plants capable of processing 1–10 MT per hour. The system breaks and separates used batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste with high efficiency. Downstream equipment includes rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces with 95% lead recovery rates, de-sulfurization units to reduce emissions, and refinery kettle furnaces that refine crude lead to 99.999% purity. An integrated air pollution control system and water treatment plant ensure full environmental compliance.

The lithium-ion battery market is expanding rapidly, and so is the need for responsible end-of-life processing. San Lan's lithium-ion battery recycling equipment handles capacities from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour, separating black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with plastics, copper, and aluminum. The plant includes safety features such as air pollution control systems and pneumatic conveying for plastic collection.

For metal recovery from wiring, San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes both scrap cable strippers and high-capacity cable granulators. These machines separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation, turning scrap wire into valuable metal concentrates ready for smelting.

Printed circuit boards contain precious metals and copper that justify specialized processing. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment offers both wet and dry separation technologies, with capacities ranging from 300 to 2,000 kg per hour and copper powder purity reaching 96–98%.

Beyond Equipment: A True Turnkey Partner

What distinguishes San Lan from conventional machinery vendors is its end-to-end project capability. 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 machine design.

San Lan's turnkey EPC services cover:

• Customized plant design based on raw material type, target capacity, and workshop layout
• Complete equipment supply, from shredders and pre-choppers to smelting furnaces
• On-site installation, commissioning, and operator training
• Pollution control system integration to meet local environmental regulations

Additionally, San Lan offers value-added services rarely found among equipment manufacturers: assistance in sourcing waste materials such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries; support in marketing recovered products including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots; and strategic guidance for investors seeking to establish or expand recycling operations.

Proven Global Track Record

San Lan's equipment operates in diverse markets including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, and Israel. This broad international footprint reflects the company's ability to adapt equipment configurations and compliance standards to regional requirements.
