Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: From Battery to Cable Recovery

With electronic waste now one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide, businesses and governments urgently need reliable, efficient recycling infrastructure. Finding the right equipment partner can mean the difference between compliant resource recovery and costly environmental liability.

One-Stop Recycling Equipment for Diverse Waste Streams

Modern recycling operations face a complex mix of incoming materials, from end-of-life batteries and scrap cables to discarded circuit boards and household appliances. Managing these waste streams requires specialized machinery designed for each material type.

San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, established in 2007 and headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, manufactures a comprehensive range of recycling equipment covering thirteen major categories. The company serves clients across more than 21 countries, including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, India, and Saudi Arabia.

Lead Acid Battery Recycling: Safe and Profitable Recovery

Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet improper handling poses serious environmental and health risks. San Lan offers complete lead acid battery recycling equipment systems that break and separate batteries into four recoverable fractions: lead grid, lead paste, plastic casing, and acid.

The system line includes battery cutters, breaking and separation units, de-sulfurization equipment, rotary furnaces for paste reduction with higher recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces, blast furnaces operating up to 1800°C with 95% lead recovery, lead refinery kettle furnaces reaching 99.999% purity, air pollution control systems, and water treatment plants. Capacities range from 1 to 10 metric tonnes per hour, enabling both small-scale operators and industrial facilities to find suitable configurations.

Lithium Battery Recycling: Capturing Critical Materials

With electric vehicle adoption accelerating worldwide, spent lithium-ion batteries are becoming a vital secondary source of nickel, cobalt, graphite, and copper. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant processes waste Li-ion batteries at capacities from 500 to 2500 kg per hour.

The integrated line covers discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, black powder separation, and magnetic separation of iron and steel. Ancillary systems include air pollution control, plastic pneumatic conveying, and hydraulic briquetting for separator film. This end-to-end approach helps operators capture valuable black mass while meeting emissions standards.

Circuit Board and Cable Recovery: Maximizing Metal Yields

Printed circuit boards contain copper, precious metals, and rare elements that justify dedicated recovery efforts. San Lan provides both dry and wet separation circuit board recycling equipment, with capacities from 300 kg/hour up to 2000 kg/hour. Dry separation systems achieve copper powder purity of 96-98% with a 95% recovery rate, while wet separation options handle PCB waste with components still attached.

For cable recyclers, the company manufactures scrap cable strippers handling diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, compact granulators with dry separators, and complete cable recycling plants. These systems separate copper and aluminum conductors from plastic insulation with high efficiency, producing clean metal fractions ready for smelting.

Beyond Core Recycling: Supporting Equipment and Services

San Lan's portfolio extends to shredders and pre-choppers for size reduction, refrigerator and AC recycling lines with refrigerant extraction, CRT cutting machines, motor stator dismantling equipment, lamp recycling systems with mercury capture, and medium-frequency induction furnaces for metal ingot production. The company also produces nano ceramic grinding media for mineral processing applications.

Selecting the Right Recycling Partner

When evaluating recycling equipment suppliers, consider whether the provider offers integrated system design rather than standalone machines. A supplier capable of engineering the complete flowsheet, from feedstock receiving through final product packaging, reduces integration risks and simplifies commissioning.

San Lan's approach emphasizes understanding each customer's specific waste composition, throughput targets, local environmental regulations, and budget constraints before recommending equipment configurations. This project-oriented mindset has supported recycling plant deployments across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.
