How San Lan Technologies Helps Global Businesses Turn E-Waste into Profitable Resources
The world generated an estimated 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2022, and that number continues to rise. For many businesses, this growing waste stream represents both a regulatory challenge and a missed financial opportunity. The right recycling equipment can transform discarded electronics, batteries, and cables into valuable raw materials—copper, lead, aluminum, and precious metals—while keeping hazardous substances out of landfills.
Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been engineering practical, high-performance recycling solutions that help companies worldwide capture that value. With nearly two decades of specialization in WEEE recycling machinery and mining equipment, San Lan delivers complete plant systems designed for real-world throughput, environmental compliance, and long-term profitability.
A Full Spectrum of Recycling Solutions
San Lan's product portfolio covers virtually every major category of e-waste and industrial scrap recycling. Whether you are entering the recycling industry for the first time or scaling an existing operation, the company offers matched equipment and turnkey plant design to fit your material stream and capacity targets.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling
Used lead acid batteries remain one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet processing them efficiently requires specialized breaking, separation, and smelting systems. San Lan manufactures complete lead acid battery recycling equipment lines with capacities from 1 to 10 MT per hour. The integrated process breaks batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste—then feeds the paste through desulfurization units, blast furnaces, or rotary furnaces for reduction, followed by refining kettles that achieve up to 99.999% lead purity. Air and water pollution control systems are included to meet strict environmental standards.
Lithium Battery Recycling
As electric vehicles and energy storage systems proliferate, spent lithium-ion batteries have become a critical feedstock for recovering nickel, cobalt, graphite, copper, and aluminum. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plants handle 500–2,500 kg per hour through a process that includes safe discharging, pre-crushing, secondary granulation, magnetic separation, and black mass separation. Ancillary systems such as plastic pneumatic conveyors, hydraulic briquetters, and dedicated air pollution control units ensure a clean, contained operation.
Cable and Wire Recycling
Scrap cable represents one of the highest-margin feedstocks in the recycling business when copper or aluminum can be cleanly separated from insulation. San Lan's cable recycling equipment range includes scrap cable strippers for diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, compact granulators with dry separators, and high-capacity wet separation plants. Copper powder purity reaches 96–98%, and systems are designed for minimal dust emissions and straightforward operation.
Circuit Board Recycling
Printed circuit boards contain copper, gold, silver, and other precious metals, but their complex composition demands precise separation technology. San Lan offers both dry and wet circuit board recycling equipment with capacities from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour. Configurations include air separator plants, wet metal separators, and electrostatic separation setups—each engineered to maximize metal recovery while controlling dust and effluent.
Additional Product Lines
Beyond these core systems, San Lan manufactures refrigerator and AC recycling plants, CRT cutting and separation machines, motor stator dismantling equipment, multi-purpose shredders and pre-choppers, lamp recycling machines with mercury capture, hydraulic presses and balers, and medium-frequency induction furnaces for melting recovered metals into ingots. The company also supplies lithium ore extraction plants for mining operators, with crude ore and tailings processing capacities up to 5,000 MT per day.
Turnkey EPC Project Delivery
San Lan does more than manufacture individual machines. The company's engineering team—led by professionals with master's degrees in mechanical engineering and over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling—provides full EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) services. This means customers receive customized plant layout, equipment selection, installation supervision, commissioning, and operator training from a single source.
The turnkey approach reduces project risk, shortens startup timelines, and ensures that each component—shredders, separators, furnaces, pollution control systems, and material handling equipment—works as an integrated whole. San Lan also assists clients with sourcing waste feedstock (cable scrap, PCB scrap, used lead acid batteries), finding investors or construction partners, and marketing recovered products such as copper rice, lead ingots, and aluminum fractions.
Proven Global Reach
San Lan's equipment is running in more than 21 countries, including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Zambia. This international footprint demonstrates the adaptability of San Lan's designs to different material compositions, climate conditions, and regulatory environments.
The company maintains bilingual English-Chinese communication capabilities and understands the intercultural dynamics of cross-border projects, making collaboration smoother for clients regardless of location.
