Why Choose San Lan Technologies?

Selecting a recycling equipment supplier is not just about purchasing machines. It is about partnering with a team that understands your material, your market, and your regulatory environment. San Lan offers far more than standard off-the-shelf equipment.

Core Product Portfolio

San Lan manufactures a comprehensive range of recycling machinery covering nearly every category of electronic and electrical waste. Here is an overview of the key product lines:

Additional offerings include CRT recycling machines, motor recycling equipment, lamp recycling systems, hydraulic press machines, metal melting furnaces, and nano ceramic grinding media for mineral processing.

Lead Acid Battery Recycling: A Complete Solution

Used lead acid batteries (ULAB) represent one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet improper handling causes severe environmental and health hazards. San Lan lead acid battery recycling equipment provides a comprehensive, environmentally compliant solution from battery breaking to final lead ingot production.

The process begins with the Used Lead Battery Cutter (HBC-045), which cuts batteries into four parts and empties acid safely at a speed of 45 seconds per piece. The breaking and separation system then classifies materials into lead grid, lead paste, PVC/PP plastic, and hard rubber. For lead paste processing, San Lan offers de-sulfurization units to remove sulfur from PbSO4, reducing melting temperature and SO2 emissions while saving energy and additives.

Smelting options include Blast (Cupola) Furnaces with a lead recovery rate of 95% and capacity of 40-100 MT per 24 hours, as well as Rotary Furnaces for paste reduction with higher recovery rates than blast furnaces. The Lead Refinery Kettle Furnace then refines crude lead to 99.999% purity, available in natural gas, diesel, or electric heated types. The electric version uses near-infrared heating technology, achieving 30-50% energy savings.

Supporting equipment includes filter presses for paste collection, water treatment plants for acidic wastewater, and air pollution control systems that ensure all emissions meet environmental requirements.

Lithium Battery Recycling: Capturing Critical Materials

As electric vehicles and portable electronics proliferate, the demand for lithium battery recycling is surging. San Lan lithium battery recycling plant handles the entire workflow from discharging and pre-crushing to secondary granulation, black powder separation, and magnetic separation of iron and steel.

With capacities ranging from 500 to 2500 kg per hour, these plants recover valuable black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, alongside separated plastic, copper, and aluminum fractions. Auxiliary systems include air pollution control for neutralizing harmful gases, plastic pneumatic conveying systems, and hydraulic briquetters that compress plastic separator film into blocks with a 10:1 volume compression ratio.

Cable and Circuit Board Recycling: Maximizing Metal Recovery

San Lan cable recycling equipment covers the full spectrum from manual and automatic scrap cable strippers for cables ranging from 1.5mm to 150mm in diameter, to high-capacity cable granulators with dry separation technology. These systems efficiently separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation, delivering clean metal fractions ready for resale or further processing.

For printed circuit boards, San Lan offers both dry and wet separation plants. Dry systems using air separation and electrostatic separation achieve copper powder purity of 96-98% with recovery rates up to 95%, while wet separation systems handle PCB waste with components still attached. Capacities range from 300 kg/hour to 2000 kg/hour, with custom designs available for up to 5000 kg/hour.

Global Reach, Local Support

San Lan commitment to customer success extends far beyond equipment delivery. The company provides installation and commissioning support, operator training, spare parts supply, and ongoing technical assistance. With strategic skills in building businesses from scratch and experience in company acquisition and merger consulting, San Lan can even help investors structure and grow recycling operations.

Whether you are a scrap dealer looking to upgrade your cable processing line, an investor evaluating a lead battery recycling venture, or a government agency planning a national e-waste management facility, San Lan Technologies has the expertise, equipment, and global experience to turn your vision into a profitable, sustainable reality.
