The world generates over 60 million tonnes of electronic waste annually, yet less than 25% is properly recycled. This staggering gap represents not just an environmental crisis, but a massive business opportunity for entrepreneurs and established companies alike. Whether you are looking to process used lead acid batteries, recover copper from scrap cables, or extract precious metals from printed circuit boards, investing in the right recycling equipment is the first step toward building a profitable and sustainable operation.
At San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, we have spent over 15 years helping businesses across 21+ countries transform waste into valuable resources. Since our founding in 2007, we have specialized in designing, manufacturing, and installing complete lead acid battery recycling equipment, lithium battery recycling plants, circuit board recycling systems, and cable recycling machinery. Our mission is simple: provide reliable, high-efficiency recycling solutions that maximize your return on investment while meeting the strictest environmental standards.
Starting a recycling plant involves far more than purchasing a single machine. From raw material sourcing and plant layout design to installation, commissioning, and environmental compliance, the complexity can overwhelm even experienced operators. That is why San Lan offers comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) services, delivering fully integrated recycling plants that are ready to operate.
Our turnkey approach covers every phase of your project: customized plant design based on your feedstock and capacity requirements, complete equipment supply, on-site installation and commissioning, operator training, and ongoing technical support. This means you can focus on running your business while we handle the engineering complexity.
Unlike suppliers who simply ship containers of machinery, our team includes mechanical engineers with master's degrees and over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling. We understand the nuances of different waste streams, the critical importance of recovery rates, and the regulatory landscapes across diverse markets.
San Lan manufactures a comprehensive range of recycling equipment spanning 13 product categories. Here are the four systems that consistently deliver the strongest returns for our global customers:
Complete plants break and separate used lead acid batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste. Capacity: 1-10 MT/hour. Lead recovery rate up to 95% with blast furnace technology.
Advanced systems break and separate waste Li-ion batteries to recover black mass (Ni/Co/graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum. Capacity: 500-2,500 kg/hour with air pollution control included.
Dry and wet separation plants recover copper powder with 96-98% purity from PCB waste. Capacities from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour. Recovery rate: 95%. No dust pollution with pulse bag collectors.
Granulators and strippers separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation. Compact dry-separator models ideal for small to medium operations. Various capacities available with 99% metal purity.
Recycling is a numbers business. Recovery rates, processing capacity, and operational uptime directly determine your profitability. San Lan equipment is engineered with these metrics as top priorities.
Our lithium tailing ore extraction plant achieves a total recovery rate of 75%, significantly exceeding the industry average of 65%. The lead refinery kettle furnace refines crude lead to 99.999% purity, with electric heating options that save 30-50% energy compared to conventional systems. These are not marketing claims, they are specifications our customers verify daily in plants running across Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, and beyond.
What sets San Lan apart from pure equipment manufacturers is our commitment to customer success throughout the entire business lifecycle. We do not just sell machines, we help you build a viable recycling enterprise.
- Raw material sourcing assistance: We help customers locate and purchase waste feedstock including cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries.
- Product offtake support: We assist in selling your recovered materials, whether copper rice, copper powder, lead ingots, or other outputs.
- Investment partnership: For customers seeking external funding, we can connect you with investors interested in recycling plant construction.
- Pollution control compliance: Every plant includes air pollution control systems, water treatment, and effluent management designed to meet local environmental regulations.
- Multi-language support: Our team is essentially bilingual in English and Chinese, with deep understanding of intercultural business environments.
In addition to e-waste recycling systems, San Lan manufactures lithium ore extraction equipment for mining operations. Our crude ore processing plants handle 500-5,000 MT/day, converting lithium crude ore to concentrate with 4-5% grade. This unique dual expertise, recycling and mining, gives us unparalleled insight into material flows and recovery optimization.
We also produce supporting equipment including hydraulic press machines for briquetting metal chips, industrial shredders and pre-choppers for size reduction, motor recycling machines for dismantling electric motors, and medium frequency induction furnaces for melting recovered metals into ingots. This integrated product range means you can source your entire plant from a single supplier, simplifying procurement, ensuring compatibility, and reducing long-term maintenance complexity.
The global demand for recycled metals and responsible e-waste management is accelerating. Governments are tightening disposal regulations, manufacturers are facing extended producer responsibility requirements, and commodity prices for copper, lead, lithium, and rare earth elements continue to attract serious investment. The timing has never been better to enter this sector.
Whether you need a single cable recycling machine for a small yard or a complete multi-line e-waste recycling plant processing multiple waste streams, San Lan Technologies has the engineering capability, manufacturing capacity, and global experience to deliver results.
