Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: Advanced Equipment for Lead Acid Batteries, Circuit Boards, and Cable Scrap

The global surge in electronic waste has created an urgent demand for efficient, environmentally responsible recycling solutions. From used lead acid batteries to discarded circuit boards and scrap cables, the volume of recoverable materials continues to grow. For recycling businesses looking to capitalize on this expanding market, investing in reliable lead acid battery recycling equipment, circuit board recycling systems, and cable processing machinery is essential.

Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing comprehensive e-waste recycling plants. With over 60 products across 13 categories and customers in more than 21 countries, San Lan delivers turnkey solutions that help recyclers maximize recovery rates while meeting strict environmental standards.

Lead Acid Battery Recycling: From Waste to Resource

Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet proper processing requires specialized equipment. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment covers the entire production chain from breaking and separation to smelting and refining.

The process begins with the hydraulic lead acid battery cutter, which slices batteries into sections and drains acid safely. The breaking and separation system then crushes the batteries and classifies the materials into four streams: lead grid, lead paste, PVC/PP plastic, and hard rubber. With capacity ranging from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour, these systems accommodate both small-scale operations and industrial recycling plants.

For lead recovery, San Lan offers multiple furnace options. The blast furnace achieves lead recovery rates of 95%, processing 40 to 100 metric tons per 24-hour period. The rotary furnace handles lead paste reduction with capacities from 2 to 20 metric tons per batch, delivering higher recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces. To further refine crude lead to 99.999% purity, the lead refinery kettle furnace is available in natural gas, diesel, or electric heated configurations, with the electric variant offering 30-50% energy savings through near-infrared heating technology.

Environmental compliance is built into every stage. The de-sulfurization unit removes sulfur from lead paste to reduce melting temperatures and SO2 emissions, while the air pollution control system purifies gases from furnaces and refinery kettles. A dedicated water treatment plant handles acidic wastewater, ensuring the entire operation meets environmental requirements.

Lithium Battery Recycling: Capturing Critical Materials

As electric vehicles and portable electronics proliferate, lithium battery recycling has become a strategic priority. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes waste batteries at 500 to 2,500 kilograms per hour, recovering black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with separated plastic, copper, and aluminum fractions.

The integrated system includes battery discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, black powder separation, and magnetic separation of iron and steel. An air pollution control system absorbs and neutralizes harmful gases before emission, while a pneumatic conveying system collects plastic film for hydraulic briquetting, achieving a volume compression ratio of 10:1. This comprehensive approach ensures maximum material recovery with minimal environmental impact.

Circuit Board Recycling: Reclaiming Copper and Precious Metals

Printed circuit boards contain valuable metals including copper, gold, and silver, but their complex composition demands specialized processing. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment offers both wet and dry separation technologies with capacities from 300 to 2,000 kilograms per hour.

The dry separation systems utilize air separators, vibrating screens, cyclone separators, and pulse bag dust collectors to achieve copper powder purity of 96-98% with recovery rates up to 95%. For operations requiring wet separation, water-based metal separators handle PCB waste even with components attached. These mechanical automated processes are stable, easy to operate, and produce no dust pollution.

Cable Recycling: Separating Copper and Aluminum from Plastic

Scrap cable represents a significant source of recoverable copper and aluminum. San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers for large-diameter wire and compact cable granulators with dry separators for finer processing.

Cable strippers handle diameters from 1.5mm to 150mm, processing up to 15,000 kilograms per 10-hour shift. The cable granulator systems separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation through mechanical processes, delivering clean metal fractions ready for smelting or direct sale. For specialized applications such as jelly-filled telecommunications cable, dedicated recycling plants are also available.

Complete Recycling Plant Capabilities

Beyond core recycling lines, San Lan manufactures essential auxiliary equipment to create fully integrated facilities. The product range includes shredders and pre-choppers for size reduction, hydraulic press machines for metal chip briquetting, medium frequency induction furnaces for melting recovered metals into ingots, and specialized systems for refrigerator and air conditioner recycling, CRT monitor cutting, motor stator dismantling, and fluorescent lamp processing.
