Turning E-Waste into Value: Complete Recycling Solutions from San Lan Technologies

The world generates over 50 million metric tons of electronic waste every year, and that number continues to grow. For forward-thinking businesses, this challenge represents a significant opportunity. With the right lead acid battery recycling equipment, circuit board recycling equipment, and cable recycling machine, what was once considered waste becomes a profitable source of recovered metals and materials.

Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been at the forefront of this transformation. Based in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, the company has built a reputation as a professional manufacturer of WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment, serving customers across more than 21 countries worldwide.

San Lan Technologies offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of recycling machinery in the industry. Their product portfolio covers nearly every category of e-waste and metal recovery:

• Lead Acid Battery Recycling Plants — Complete systems that break and separate used batteries to recover lead paste, lead grids, plastic shells, and acid. Capacities range from 1 to 10 MT per hour, with lead recovery rates up to 95%.
• Lithium Battery Recycling Plants — Advanced equipment for processing waste lithium-ion batteries, recovering valuable black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), copper, aluminum, and plastic. Throughput ranges from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour.
• Circuit Board Recycling Plants — Both wet and dry separation systems designed to extract copper powder and precious metals from PCB waste. Copper powder purity reaches 96-98%, with recovery rates around 95%.
• Cable Recycling Machines — Granulators and strippers that separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation, handling everything from thin wires to thick industrial cables up to 150mm in diameter.
• Refrigerator & AC Recycling Systems — Complete lines for safely extracting refrigerants and separating metals, plastics, and polyurethane foam from end-of-life cooling appliances.
• Shredders and Pre-Choppers — Heavy-duty four-shaft, twin-shaft, and single-shaft shredders for primary size reduction of diverse e-waste materials.

Not all recycling machinery delivers the same results. San Lan Technologies emphasizes mechanical automation, stable operation, and high recovery rates across every product line. Their circuit board recycling plants, for example, utilize third-generation separation technology with air separators, cyclone collectors, and pulse bag dust collectors to ensure clean, efficient material recovery without secondary pollution.

For lead acid battery recycling, the company offers integrated solutions including breaking and separation systems, de-sulfurization units, rotary furnaces for paste reduction, blast furnaces, lead refinery kettles reaching 99.999% purity, filter presses, water treatment plants, and air pollution control systems. This end-to-end approach ensures environmental compliance while maximizing material recovery.

What sets San Lan apart from pure equipment manufacturers is their commitment to customer success throughout the entire project lifecycle. Their technical team includes mechanical engineering professionals with over 15 years of experience in e-waste recycling machinery.

San Lan Technologies has successfully installed and commissioned recycling plants for customers in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond. This global footprint demonstrates the company's ability to adapt solutions to different regulatory environments, material streams, and operational requirements.

Recent project highlights include lithium battery breaking and separating machines delivered to the United States, jelly-filled cable recycling plants operating successfully in Indonesia and Mauritius, and cable recycling equipment running at facilities in Australia.

In addition to e-waste recycling, San Lan Technologies manufactures lithium ore extraction and processing equipment. Their crude ore processing plants handle up to 5,000 MT per day, converting lithium crude ore to concentrate with grades of 4-5%. Their tailing ore extraction plants achieve total recovery rates of 75%, significantly exceeding the industry average of 65% by recovering valuable minerals from material that would otherwise be discarded.
