Turnkey Recycling Equipment Solutions for a Sustainable Future

The world generates over 50 million metric tons of electronic waste annually, yet less than 20 percent is formally recycled. As environmental regulations tighten across continents and raw material costs continue to rise, investing in professional recycling equipment has shifted from an environmental obligation to a strategic business imperative. Companies that act now not only reduce landfill dependency but also unlock valuable recoverable resources including copper, lead, lithium, and precious metals.

Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been engineering and manufacturing complete WEEE recycling plants and mining equipment from its base in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China. With customers in more than 21 countries spanning Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, and beyond, San Lan has built a reputation for delivering reliable, high-capacity recycling systems tailored to diverse operational needs.

Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet improper handling poses serious environmental hazards. San Lan offers complete lead acid battery recycling equipment with throughput capacities ranging from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour. The integrated breaking and separation system efficiently disassembles batteries to recover sulfuric acid, polypropylene plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste.

Downstream processing includes lead smelting rotary furnaces with batch capacities of 2 to 20 metric tons, blast cupola furnaces operating at up to 1,800 degrees Celsius with 95 percent lead recovery rates, and electric lead refinery kettles that produce 99.999 percent pure lead while saving 30 to 50 percent energy through near-infrared heating technology. Supporting systems such as de-sulfurization units, filter presses with 60 square meters of filtration area, water treatment plants, and comprehensive air pollution control systems ensure full environmental compliance.

The accelerating electric vehicle revolution has created an urgent demand for sustainable lithium battery recycling infrastructure. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plants process 500 to 2,500 kilograms per hour, employing a multi-stage system that includes safe discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, black powder separation, and magnetic removal of ferrous materials. The result is clean recovery of black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, alongside separated plastic, copper, and aluminum fractions.

Dedicated auxiliary equipment including plastic pneumatic conveying systems, hydraulic briquetters with 10-to-1 volume compression ratios, and specialized air pollution control systems complete the plant. This turnkey approach allows operators to enter the rapidly growing battery recycling market with confidence, backed by machinery engineered for safety and efficiency.

Printed circuit boards contain significant concentrations of copper and trace precious metals, making them high-value recycling feedstock. San Lan manufactures both wet and dry separation circuit board recycling equipment with capacities from 300 to 2,000 kilograms per hour. Advanced air separation and electrostatic technologies achieve copper powder purity of 96 to 98 percent with overall recovery rates reaching 95 percent, while integrated pulse bag dust collectors maintain a clean working environment.

For cable processors, San Lan provides a full range of cable recycling equipment including scrap cable strippers handling wire diameters from 1.5 millimeters to 150 millimeters, compact granulators with dry separators, and high-capacity cable shredding lines. These systems separate copper and aluminum conductors from plastic insulation with high efficiency, producing clean metal fractions ready for direct smelting or sale.

A modern recycling facility requires more than core separation equipment. San Lan supplies four-shaft shredders processing up to 6 metric tons per hour for preliminary size reduction of diverse e-waste streams. Specialized lines for refrigerator and air conditioner recycling safely extract refrigerants before shredding, achieving iron recovery rates of 95 percent or higher. Additional offerings include CRT cutters for monitor recycling, motor stator cutters for electric motor dismantling, hydraulic balers and briquetting machines, medium-frequency induction melting furnaces ranging from 15 to 160 kilowatts, and even nano ceramic grinding media for mineral processing applications.

San Lan's equipment operates on four continents, from Southeast Asian cable processors to African lead battery recyclers and Latin American e-waste facilities. This global footprint has provided the company with practical insights into diverse regulatory frameworks, feedstock characteristics, and operational challenges. Every plant is engineered not as a generic template but as a purpose-built solution reflecting the customer's local conditions, target throughput, and end-product specifications.
