Why Global Recyclers Choose San Lan for E-Waste and Battery Recycling Equipment

The world generates over 50 million metric tons of electronic waste annually, yet less than 20% is formally recycled. For entrepreneurs and established recycling businesses alike, this gap represents both an environmental imperative and a significant commercial opportunity. The key to capturing this opportunity lies in choosing the right equipment partner—one that delivers not just machines, but complete, proven recycling solutions.

Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been that partner for recyclers across 21 countries. Headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, San Lan has built its reputation on engineering excellence, customized plant design, and end-to-end project support that transforms waste streams into valuable raw materials.

Complete Lead Acid Battery Recycling Solutions

Used lead acid batteries (ULAB) remain one of the most recycled consumer products globally, with established markets for recovered lead, plastic, and acid. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment covers every stage of the process—from hydraulic battery cutters that safely open batteries and drain acid, through breaking and separation systems that sort lead paste, lead grids, and plastic shells, to rotary furnaces and refinery kettles that produce 99.999% pure lead ingots. With capacities ranging from 1 to 10 MT per hour and integrated air pollution control and water treatment systems, these plants meet stringent environmental standards while maximizing metal recovery.

Advanced Lithium Battery Recovery Systems

As electric vehicles and consumer electronics proliferate, spent lithium-ion batteries have become the fastest-growing waste stream in the recycling industry. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant addresses this challenge with automated discharging, pre-crushing, and secondary granulation processes that safely recover black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic separator film. Operating at 500–2,500 kg per hour, these systems incorporate dedicated air pollution control and pneumatic conveying to ensure safe, efficient processing of this high-value but potentially hazardous material.

Cable and Circuit Board Recycling Excellence

Beyond batteries, San Lan delivers proven technology for other critical e-waste streams. The company's cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers and high-capacity granulators that separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with exceptional purity. For printed circuit boards, San Lan offers both wet and dry separation plants achieving 96–98% copper powder purity and recovery rates up to 95%, turning what was once landfill material into a lucrative source of precious and base metals.

More Than Equipment: A True Project Partner

What distinguishes San Lan from generic equipment suppliers is its comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) capability. The company's master's-degree engineering team brings over 15 years of hands-on experience to every project, offering customized plant design, installation and commissioning, and even assistance sourcing raw material feedstock and marketing recovered products. This turnkey approach de-risks new market entry and accelerates time-to-revenue for recycling plant investors.
