The global surge in electronic waste has created both an environmental challenge and a business opportunity. Every year, millions of tons of discarded batteries, cables, circuit boards, and end-of-life appliances pile up in landfills, leaking hazardous materials while locking away valuable metals like copper, lead, lithium, and precious metals. For forward-thinking businesses, this waste stream represents a recoverable resource—and the right recycling equipment is the key to unlocking it.
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, established in 2007 and headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, has spent nearly two decades engineering and manufacturing industrial-grade recycling machinery that turns complex waste streams into profitable raw materials. With a product portfolio spanning 13 categories and over 60 machines, San Lan serves as a one-stop partner for companies looking to enter or expand in the e-waste recycling sector.
Used lead acid batteries (ULAB) remain one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet improper handling poses serious environmental risks. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment covers the entire process chain—from battery cutting and breaking to paste separation, desulfurization, smelting, and refining. The company's lead acid battery recycling plant can process 1–10 metric tons per hour, separating lead paste, lead grids, plastic shells, and acid with high efficiency. For smelting, San Lan offers rotary furnaces and blast (cupola) furnaces with lead recovery rates up to 95%, alongside lead refinery kettle furnaces that refine crude lead to 99.999% purity. The integrated air pollution control systems and water treatment plants ensure compliance with strict environmental regulations.
Scrap cable and wire represent a high-value feedstock when processed correctly. San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers for cables ranging from 1.5 mm to 150 mm in diameter, as well as high-capacity cable granulators with dry and wet separation systems. The cable recycling plant WCW-001 series and compact granulators like the WCD-200C efficiently separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation, delivering clean metal fractions ready for smelting or direct sale. With throughput options from 200 kg to 1,200 kg per hour, San Lan provides scalable solutions for small collectors and large-scale recycling centers alike.
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain some of the highest concentrations of copper and precious metals found in e-waste, but their complex composition makes recovery challenging. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment addresses this with both dry and wet separation technologies. The WCBD series with air separators achieves copper powder purity of 96–98% at capacities up to 2,000 kg/hour, while the WCB series with wet separators handles more complex PCB waste, including boards with electronic components still attached. These plants recover copper powder, precious metal concentrates, and resin fractions with recovery rates around 95%, all while maintaining dust-free operation through integrated pulse bag dust collectors.
San Lan's expertise extends well beyond batteries, cables, and circuit boards. The company manufactures complete lithium battery recycling plants capable of processing 500–2,500 kg/hour, recovering black mass (nickel, cobalt, graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic separator film from spent Li-ion cells. For appliance recyclers, San Lan offers refrigerator and AC recycling lines that safely extract refrigerants before shredding and separating iron, copper, aluminum, plastic, and polyurethane foam. The CRT recycling machines cut and separate cathode ray tube glass, while motor recycling equipment dismantles electric motor stators to recover copper windings. Additional products include hydraulic presses for metal briquetting, multi-shaft shredders for size reduction, and medium-frequency induction furnaces for metal melting and ingot production.
San Lan differentiates itself through deep engineering expertise and end-to-end project support. The technical team includes mechanical engineering master's degree holders with over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machine design. The company delivers full EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects, providing customized plant layouts, equipment installation, commissioning, and operator training.
Uniquely, San Lan supports clients beyond equipment supply. The team assists with waste material sourcing—helping buyers secure feedstock such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries—and connects plant operators with downstream markets for recycled products like copper rice, lead ingots, and copper powder. For entrepreneurs seeking to build new recycling facilities, San Lan actively seeks investors and construction partners to bring projects to life.
San Lan's recycling solutions have been deployed across five continents, with active customers in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond. This global footprint reflects the company's ability to adapt equipment specifications to local regulations, climate conditions, and material streams. With bilingual English and Chinese capabilities and a strong understanding of intercultural business environments, San Lan ensures smooth communication and project execution for international clients.
