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

Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world, yet it holds enormous untapped value. From discarded batteries to obsolete circuit boards and scrap cables, these materials contain recoverable metals that can re-enter the supply chain. The key lies in having the right technology to extract them efficiently, safely, and profitably. That is where San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd comes in.

Established in 2007 and headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, San Lan Technologies has spent over 17 years developing and manufacturing specialized recycling equipment for the WEEE and e-waste sectors. The company offers a comprehensive range of machinery designed to handle everything from lead acid batteries and lithium-ion cells to printed circuit boards and scrap cables.

Comprehensive Battery Recycling Systems

Batteries represent one of the most critical categories of e-waste due to their hazardous content and high material value. San Lan provides complete recycling lines for both lead acid and lithium-ion batteries.

The lead acid battery recycling equipment breaks and separates used batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste. With capacities ranging from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour, the system integrates breaking and separation units, de-sulfurization equipment, rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces, lead refinery kettles, and air pollution control systems. Lead recovery rates reach 95%, and the refinery kettle can produce lead with purity up to 99.999%.

For lithium-ion batteries, San Lan offers breaking and separating plants with capacities of 500 to 2,500 kg per hour. These systems recover black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with separated copper, aluminum, and plastic. Each plant includes pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation, and dedicated air pollution control to ensure safe handling of volatile materials.

Cable and Circuit Board Recovery

Scrap cables and printed circuit boards are rich in copper and precious metals. San Lan’s cable recycling equipment includes both stripping machines for large-diameter cables and compact granulators with dry separators for fine processing. These machines separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with high efficiency, producing clean metal granules ready for resale or smelting.

The circuit board recycling equipment handles PCB waste through both dry and wet separation processes. Capacities range from 300 kg to 2,000 kg per hour, with copper powder purity reaching 96% to 98%. The dry-process plants incorporate air separators, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, and pulse dust collectors to capture fine particles and prevent environmental contamination.

Supporting Machinery and Integrated Solutions

Beyond the core recycling lines, San Lan manufactures a full suite of auxiliary equipment. This includes shredders and pre-choppers for size reduction, hydraulic press machines for metal chip briquetting, refrigerant extraction machines for cooling appliance recycling, CRT cutters for monitor disposal, and medium-frequency induction furnaces for metal melting. The company also produces nano ceramic grinding media for mineral processing applications.

What sets San Lan apart is its ability to deliver turnkey EPC solutions. From initial design and equipment selection to installation, commissioning, and after-sales support, the company manages the entire project lifecycle. Customers also benefit from value-added services such as assistance in sourcing raw materials, help with selling recovered products, and strategic consulting for business development.

Global Reach, Local Support

San Lan’s equipment is currently operating in more than 21 countries, including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, and Zambia. This global footprint reflects the reliability and adaptability of the company’s technology across diverse regulatory environments and waste compositions.
