Turnkey E-Waste Recycling Solutions: How San Lan Technologies Helps You Maximize Resource Recovery

Global e-waste now exceeds 60 million metric tons every year, and the pile keeps growing. For businesses entering the recycling market, buying a few machines is only the starting point. The real challenge lies in building a complete system that complies with local environmental laws, runs efficiently day after day, and actually makes money.

Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has helped customers in 21+ countries solve exactly that challenge. Based in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, we design and manufacture full recycling plants and mining equipment that transform waste into sellable raw materials. From used lead acid batteries and lithium-ion packs to scrap cables and printed circuit boards, our turnkey systems are built for high recovery rates, low operating costs, and strict environmental compliance.

San Lan Technologies manufactures recycling equipment across 13 product categories. Here is what we deliver:

Our lead acid battery recycling equipment provides end-to-end solutions for processing used lead acid batteries (ULAB) with capacities from 1 to 10 MT per hour. The system breaks and separates batteries to recover acid, plastic shell, lead grid, and lead paste. Complementary equipment includes lead smelting rotary furnaces, blast furnaces with 95% lead recovery rates, de-sulfurization units, lead refinery kettle furnaces producing 99.999% pure lead, and complete air and water pollution control systems.

As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, spent lithium-ion batteries represent both an environmental challenge and a massive economic opportunity. Our li battery recycling equipment handles capacities of 500–2,500 kg/hour, separating black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum. Integrated pollution control and pneumatic conveying systems ensure safe, clean operation.

Our cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers, compact granulators with dry separators, and wet separation systems capable of processing up to 2,000 kg/hour with copper purity of 96–98%. For printed circuit boards, our circuit board recycling equipment utilizes advanced air and water separation technologies to recover copper powder and precious metals without dust pollution.

Beyond these core lines, we manufacture refrigerator and AC recycling plants, CRT cutters, motor stator cutters, multi-purpose shredders, hydraulic press machines, metal melting furnaces, lamp recycling machines, and lithium ore extraction plants with processing capacities up to 5,000 MT per day.

Choosing a recycling equipment supplier is a long-term bet. Here is why customers from Singapore to South Africa, Colombia to Saudi Arabia keep working with San Lan:

Our technical team includes mechanical engineering master's degree holders who have spent 15+ years inside e-waste recycling plants. That hands-on background shows up in the details: equipment that does not break down every other week, runs efficiently under real factory conditions, and can be maintained by local technicians without flying in overseas specialists.

We deliver complete Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. From customized plant design and one-stop equipment purchasing to installation, commissioning, and training, we manage every phase so you can focus on running your business.

Unlike pure equipment vendors, we help customers secure waste material supply chains (cable scrap, PCB scrap, used batteries), connect with investors and construction partners, and even market the end products—copper rice, lead ingots, and other recovered materials. Our strategic support helps build businesses from scratch to profitable operation.

With customers in more than 21 countries, we understand intercultural business environments and operate essentially bilingually in English and Chinese. Our virtue integration and postpone strategy helps clients gain sustainable cost advantages without compromising quality.

To illustrate how our systems work, consider a typical lead acid battery recycling plant setup:

1. Battery Cutting and Acid Drainage: Used lead batteries are cut by hydraulic cutters, safely draining acid and separating the casing.
2. Breaking and Separation: Advanced breaking systems crush batteries and classify lead paste, lead grids, PVC/PP plastic, and hard rubber with high precision.
3. De-Sulfurization: Lead paste undergoes de-sulfurization to remove sulfur from PbSO4, reducing melting temperature and minimizing SO2 emissions.
4. Smelting: Rotary furnaces or blast furnaces smelt the processed paste, achieving lead recovery rates up to 95%.
5. Refining: Crude lead is refined in kettle furnaces to 99.999% purity, ready for industrial reuse.
6. Environmental Protection: Throughout the process, air pollution control systems and water treatment plants ensure all emissions meet stringent environmental requirements.

Each stage is supported by dedicated equipment designed for durability, energy efficiency, and operator safety.

San Lan Technologies aims to become a leading international brand in WEEE and e-waste recycling by understanding what each customer actually needs, cooperating for mutual benefit, and managing relationships professionally. We do not just ship machines and disappear—we stay involved until your plant is profitable.
