From Scrap to Profit: How San Lan Technologies Builds Turnkey E-Waste Recycling Plants Worldwide

The Growing Opportunity in E-Waste Recycling

Every year, millions of tons of electronic waste accumulate worldwide, creating both an environmental challenge and a business opportunity. For entrepreneurs and established recyclers alike, the key to turning this waste stream into profit lies in choosing the right equipment partner. San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been helping businesses do exactly that since 2007.

Who We Are

San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd is a professional manufacturer of WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment based in Jiangxi Province, China. With over 15 years of mechanical engineering expertise, we design and deliver advanced eco-friendly recycling plants that meet real-world production demands. Our vision is to build the leading international brand in e-waste recycling through deep understanding of customer requirements and win-win cooperation.

Comprehensive Recycling Solutions

Our product portfolio covers the full spectrum of e-waste and metal recycling needs:

Lead Acid Battery Recycling — Our lead acid battery recycling equipment breaks and separates used batteries to recover lead paste, lead grid, plastic shell, and acid. Capacities range from 1 to 10 MT per hour, with integrated air pollution control and water treatment systems to ensure environmental compliance.

Lithium Battery Recycling — As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, spent lithium-ion batteries represent one of the fastest-growing waste streams. Our lithium battery recycling plants process 500–2,500 kg per hour, recovering black mass (Ni, Co, graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic with high efficiency.

Circuit Board Recycling — Printed circuit boards contain valuable copper and precious metals. Our circuit board recycling equipment uses both wet and dry separation technologies, achieving copper powder purity of 96–98% and recovery rates up to 95%.

Cable Recycling — From industrial cable granulators to compact scrap cable strippers, our cable recycling equipment separates copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with minimal material loss. We also offer specialized solutions for jelly-filled cables.

Additional Equipment — Our catalog includes refrigerator and AC recycling lines, CRT cutters, motor recycling machines, four-shaft shredders, hydraulic press machines, metal melting furnaces, and even lithium ore extraction plants for mining operations.

Beyond Equipment: End-to-End Project Support

What sets San Lan apart is not just the breadth of our product line, but the depth of our support. We provide true EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) project services, guiding customers from initial design through installation and commissioning. Our bilingual technical team offers onsite or remote assistance to ensure every plant reaches optimal operating status.

We also go further by helping customers secure raw material supplies—whether cable scrap, PCB scrap, or used lead acid batteries—and by assisting in the sale of recovered materials such as copper rice, lead ingots, and copper powder. For new market entrants, we provide technical training for staff and can even help recruit experienced operators.

Proven Global Experience

San Lan equipment is operating in more than 21 countries, including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines. This diverse customer base reflects our ability to adapt equipment configurations to different regulatory environments, scrap compositions, and production targets.
