The global surge in electronic waste has created an urgent demand for reliable, efficient, and environmentally compliant recycling solutions. Businesses and governments alike are searching for proven partners who can transform discarded electronics into valuable raw materials. San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, established in 2007 and headquartered in Jiangxi Province, China, has spent nearly two decades building exactly that kind of partnership—with customers in more than 21 countries across Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East.
Why Turnkey Solutions Matter in Recycling
Building a recycling plant from scratch involves far more than purchasing individual machines. It requires process design, pollution control engineering, material sourcing strategy, installation, commissioning, and ongoing technical support. San Lan specializes in EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects, offering a true one-stop purchasing center that covers every phase from initial concept to full production. This integrated approach eliminates the compatibility risks and coordination headaches that come from mixing equipment from multiple vendors.
Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Equipment
One of San Lan's flagship product lines is its complete lead acid battery recycling equipment suite. The plant breaks and separates used lead-acid batteries to recover acid, plastic shell, lead grid, and lead paste at capacities ranging from 1 to 10 MT per hour. The integrated system includes hydraulic battery cutters, breaking and separation units, de-sulfurization systems, rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces achieving 95% lead recovery rates, refinery kettles capable of reaching 99.999% purity, filter presses, water treatment plants, and air pollution control systems. Every component is engineered to meet strict environmental requirements while maximizing metal recovery and minimizing emissions.
Lithium Battery and Circuit Board Recovery
As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, lithium-ion battery waste is becoming the next major recycling frontier. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes 500–2,500 kg per hour, separating black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with plastic film, copper, and aluminum. The system includes discharging stations, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation of iron and steel, and dedicated air pollution control. For printed circuit boards, San Lan offers both wet and dry separation circuit board recycling equipment, with capacities from 300 kg per hour up to 2,000 kg per hour and copper powder purity reaching 96–98%. These technologies ensure that no valuable metal goes to waste, turning electronic scrap into a genuine revenue stream.
Cable Recycling Equipment
Scrap cable remains one of the most accessible and consistently profitable recycling streams. San Lan's cable recycling equipment range covers scrap cable strippers handling diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, compact granulators with dry separators, and large-scale cable recycling plants. Whether the input is jelly-filled telecom cable or standard copper wire, the systems efficiently separate metal from plastic insulation, delivering clean copper or aluminum ready for direct smelting or resale. Capacities range from compact 100 kg per hour units up to industrial 1,200 kg per hour granulators.
Beyond the Core: A Complete Recycling Portfolio
San Lan's product catalog spans 13 categories and approximately 60 products. The lineup includes refrigerator and air conditioner recycling plants with refrigerant extraction machines, CRT cutters for obsolete televisions and monitors, motor stator cutters for electric motor dismantling, multi-purpose shredders and pre-choppers, lamp recycling machines that safely capture mercury, hydraulic press machines for metal briquetting, medium-frequency induction furnaces for ingot production, and even nano ceramic balls for ball mill grinding in mineral processing. This breadth allows San Lan to serve not only e-waste recyclers but also mining operations and metal processing facilities.
