Global E-Waste Recycling Solutions: Equipment and EPC Services from San Lan Technologies

With electronic waste now the fastest-growing waste stream on the planet, the recycling industry has evolved from a niche environmental effort into a major global business opportunity. For investors and plant operators, the challenge is not just finding equipment — it is finding the right partner who understands how to turn complex waste streams into consistent, high-quality recovered materials.

Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has helped customers in over 21 countries build and operate profitable recycling facilities. From lead acid batteries and lithium-ion cells to printed circuit boards and scrap cables, we design and manufacture the complete machinery lines that make modern resource recovery possible.

Used lead acid batteries remain one of the most recycled products in the world, but doing it profitably and safely requires precision engineering. Our lead acid battery recycling equipment handles the full workflow: cutting, breaking, separating, smelting, and refining. The battery breaking and separation system processes 1–10 MT per hour, cleanly separating lead paste, lead grids, plastic, and acid. For lead recovery, rotary furnaces handle 2–20 MT per batch with higher recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces, while our lead refinery kettle furnace produces 99.999% pure lead using energy-saving near-infrared heating. Integrated de-sulfurization and air pollution control systems keep emissions well within environmental limits.

The surge in electric vehicles and consumer electronics has created an urgent need for sustainable lithium battery recycling. Our li battery recycling equipment breaks down waste lithium batteries and separates black mass (rich in nickel, cobalt, and graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic. Capacities range from 500 to 2,500 kg/hour, with complete lines including discharging stations, pre-crushers, granulators, magnetic separators, and black powder recovery units. Supporting equipment such as plastic pneumatic conveyors, hydraulic briquetters with 10:1 compression ratios, and dedicated gas scrubbing systems ensure safe, compliant operation.

Discarded printed circuit boards contain more copper and precious metals per ton than many natural ores. Our circuit board recycling equipment uses advanced dry and wet separation technologies to recover these valuable materials. The WCBD-2000A air-separation plant processes 2,000 kg/hour with copper powder purity of 96–98%, while wet separation systems like the WCB-2000C can be scaled from 300 to 5,000 kg/hour depending on your throughput needs. All configurations run with automated mechanical processes, minimal dust, and stable, easy-to-operate controls.

San Lan's product range extends well beyond batteries and PCBs. Our cable recycling plant uses compact granulators with dry separators to recover copper and aluminum from insulated wire. We also build shredders and pre-choppers, refrigerator and AC recycling systems, CRT cutters, motor dismantling machines, lamp recycling equipment, metal melting furnaces, and lithium ore extraction plants — giving our customers a single source for nearly every recycling application.

Equipment alone does not build a successful plant. San Lan offers full EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) services, including customized plant design, one-stop equipment purchasing, installation, and commissioning. Our technical team holds master's degrees in mechanical engineering and brings over 15 years of direct experience in e-waste recycling machinery. We also provide distinctive value-added services: helping customers source waste feedstock such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries, and assisting in the sale of recovered products including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots.

San Lan Technologies has supplied equipment and services to customers across Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond. Our bilingual English and Chinese team understands the intercultural dynamics of international projects, and our strategic experience spans building recycling businesses from initial startup through expansion and acquisition.
