Why San Lan Technologies Is Your Trusted Partner for E-Waste and Battery Recycling Equipment
Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide. Batteries, circuit boards, and scrap cables pile up in landfills while the materials inside them — lead, copper, lithium, cobalt — remain valuable. For companies ready to recover these resources, the first step is finding reliable recycling equipment that can handle real industrial volumes day after day.
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been manufacturing that equipment since 2007. Based in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, the company specializes in WEEE recycling machinery and mining equipment. Its technical team holds master's degrees in mechanical engineering and brings more than 15 years of direct experience in e-waste recycling machine design and operation. That combination of academic training and shop-floor know-how shows up in the durability and efficiency of every plant San Lan delivers.
A Full Range of Recycling Solutions
San Lan does not focus on one niche. Its catalog covers the major categories of e-waste and secondary material processing, so customers can source complete lines from a single supplier.
Lead Acid Battery Recovery
Used lead acid batteries remain a major feedstock worldwide. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling plant breaks and separates batteries to recover acid, plastic shell, lead grid, and lead paste at rates from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour. The line integrates with rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces achieving 95% lead recovery, de-sulfurization units that cut SO2 emissions, and refinery kettle furnaces capable of reaching 99.999% lead purity. Air pollution control and water treatment systems are built in, helping operators meet environmental regulations without retrofitting third-party equipment later.
Lithium-Ion Battery Processing
The rise of electric vehicles and portable electronics has created a parallel surge in spent lithium-ion batteries. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant addresses this demand with systems that break and separate waste cells to recover black mass (nickel, cobalt, graphite), plastic separators, copper, and aluminum. Throughput ranges from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour, and the company offers custom designs when feedstock composition or local regulations require adjustments.
Circuit Boards and Cables
Printed circuit boards contain copper and precious metals in concentrations that make mechanical recovery profitable. San Lan supplies both dry and wet separation circuit board recycling plants, with capacities from 300 kg/hour up to 2,000 kg/hour. Copper powder purity reaches 96-98% in typical operation. For wire and cable processors, San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers handling diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, compact granulators with dry separators, and full cable recycling plants for high-volume facilities.
Beyond the Core Lines
San Lan also manufactures four-shaft and twin-shaft shredders for size reduction, refrigerator and AC recycling lines with refrigerant extraction, CRT cutters for monitor glass separation, motor stator cutters for copper winding recovery, lamp recycling machines with mercury capture, and lithium ore extraction plants for hard-rock mining operations. This breadth means a customer expanding from cable recycling into battery processing, for example, can stay with the same supplier.
EPC Project Experience
Many equipment vendors ship machines and leave integration to the buyer. San Lan takes a different approach. The company has solid experience in EPC — Engineering, Procurement, and Construction — projects for e-waste recycling plants. Its team works with clients from initial layout and customized design through equipment selection, installation, and commissioning. That one-stop model reduces the coordination burden on customers and helps ensure that crushers, separators, furnaces, and pollution control systems communicate properly on the same line.
San Lan also offers practical support that newcomers to the industry rarely find from pure equipment sellers. The team can help source waste feedstock — cable scrap, PCB scrap, used lead acid batteries — and can assist in finding buyers for finished products such as copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots. For investors evaluating recycling plant construction, San Lan actively seeks partnership opportunities and provides strategic guidance from early business development through operational scale-up.
International Customers, Local Adaptation
San Lan's installed base covers more than 21 countries across Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. Specific markets include Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, and Israel.
Each of those regions presents different waste compositions, power standards, labor costs, and environmental rules. San Lan's willingness to customize plant design means that a lead acid battery recycling line shipped to South America can be configured differently from one installed in Southeast Asia, matching local conditions rather than forcing a single template onto every site. The company's staff is bilingual in English and Chinese, and comfortable working across cultural boundaries.
Designed for Real Operating Conditions
Recycling machinery faces abrasive materials, corrosive chemicals, vibration, and dust. San Lan's designs reflect those realities. Specifications cite actual operating capacities — not laboratory ideal conditions. The four-shaft shredder processes 4 to 6 metric tons per hour. The circuit board wet separation plant runs at 2,000 kg/hour. The lead refinery kettle furnace uses near-infrared electric heating to save 30-50% energy compared with conventional fuel-fired units.
Environmental compliance receives the same attention as throughput. San Lan integrates air pollution control systems, acidic wastewater treatment plants, and refrigerant recovery machines into complete lines from the start. Operators do not discover after installation that they need additional scrubbers or filters to satisfy local emissions limits.
Conclusion
The difference between a recycling plant that operates profitably and one that struggles often comes down to supplier selection. San Lan Technologies offers nearly two decades of manufacturing experience, a broad product portfolio, proven EPC capability, and the practical support services that turn a collection of machines into a functioning business. Whether your project involves lead acid batteries, lithium-ion cells, scrap cable, or printed circuit boards, San Lan can supply the equipment and the expertise to make it work.
