The global surge in electronic waste has created both an environmental crisis and a significant business opportunity. With millions of metric tons of e-waste generated annually, recycling facilities that can efficiently recover valuable metals are in high demand. Whether you are processing used lead acid batteries, scrap cables, or discarded circuit boards, investing in reliable recycling equipment is the foundation of a profitable and sustainable operation.
At San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, we have been manufacturing industrial recycling machinery since 2007. Our experienced engineering team holds master's degrees in mechanical engineering and brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling plant design. Today, we serve customers in more than 21 countries, providing everything from standalone machines to complete turnkey recycling plants.
E-waste contains hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium that can severely contaminate soil and water if improperly disposed of. At the same time, it holds significant quantities of recoverable copper, aluminum, lead, and precious metals. The challenge lies in separating these materials safely, efficiently, and in an environmentally compliant manner.
Generic crushing or sorting equipment cannot handle the complexity of e-waste. Batteries require acid-neutralizing processes, circuit boards need precious-metal recovery systems, and cables must be stripped and granulated without losing metal purity. This is why specialized recycling equipment is not optional—it is essential.
Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recycled consumer products in the world, yet improper handling poses serious environmental risks. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment breaks and separates batteries into lead paste, lead grids, plastic shells, and acid with capacity ranging from 1 to 10 MT per hour.
Our integrated systems include battery cutters, breaking and separation units, de-sulfurization machines, rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces, lead refinery kettles reaching 99.999% purity, filter presses, water treatment plants, and air pollution control systems. Every stage is designed to meet strict environmental requirements while maximizing lead recovery rates of up to 95%.
Scrap cables are a rich source of copper and aluminum, but manual stripping is labor-intensive and inefficient. San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers handling diameters from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, as well as high-capacity cable granulators with dry and wet separation technology.
Our cable granulators achieve high purity separation of copper from plastic insulation, producing what the industry calls "copper rice" ready for direct smelting or resale. With capacities from 100 kg/hour to 1,200 kg/hour and compact designs suitable for factories or warehouses, these machines deliver fast return on investment for recyclers of all sizes.
Printed circuit boards contain copper, gold, silver, and other valuable materials, but they also include hazardous components that require careful handling. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment uses advanced air separation, wet separation, and electrostatic separation technologies to achieve copper powder purity of 96–98% with recovery rates around 95%.
Our circuit board recycling plants handle capacities from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour and include integrated dust collection systems to ensure a pollution-free working environment. Even PCB waste with electronic components can be processed efficiently.
What truly distinguishes San Lan is our commitment to end-to-end project success. We do not simply sell machines—we deliver complete EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) solutions. From customized plant design and equipment selection to installation, commissioning, and operator training, our team manages every phase.
We also offer unique value-added services that few competitors match:
- Assistance in sourcing waste materials such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries
- Support in finding investors and partners for recycling plant construction
- Help marketing your recovered products including copper rice, lead ingots, and aluminum fractions
With installations across Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond, San Lan understands the regulatory, logistical, and operational challenges of running recycling plants in diverse markets. Our bilingual English-Chinese team ensures smooth communication throughout every project.
