The global surge in electronic waste has created both an environmental challenge and a business opportunity. With millions of tons of discarded electronics, used batteries, and scrap cables generated annually, investing in professional recycling infrastructure is no longer optional—it is essential for sustainable resource recovery and profitable operations.
Why Equipment Quality Defines Your Recycling Success
Recycling efficiency depends heavily on the technology behind your processing line. Substandard machinery leads to material loss, higher operational costs, and environmental non-compliance. Whether you are recovering lead from used batteries, separating copper from plastic insulation, or extracting precious metals from printed circuit boards, each stage demands specialized equipment engineered for precision and durability.
San Lan Technologies: Engineering Reliability Since 2007
Based in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has spent over 15 years developing and manufacturing industrial recycling machinery and mining equipment. Our product portfolio covers the full spectrum of WEEE recycling needs, from initial size reduction to final material separation and metal refining.
Our technical team holds master's degrees in mechanical engineering and brings deep, hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machine design. This expertise allows us to deliver not just standalone units, but integrated lead acid battery breaking and separation system solutions, cable recycling machine lines, and circuit board recycling plant with dry separator 500-2000kg/hour capacity systems that perform reliably under continuous industrial loads.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling: Recover Lead, Plastic, and Acid Safely
Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recyclable waste streams, yet improper handling creates severe environmental hazards. San Lan's complete lead acid battery recycling plant processes batteries at capacities ranging from 1 to 10 MT per hour. The system breaks and separates batteries into four clean fractions: lead grid, lead paste, PVC/PP plastic, and hard rubber.
Downstream smelting equipment—including rotary furnaces, blast furnaces, and refinery kettles—then converts these fractions into high-purity lead ingots. Our blast furnaces operate at temperatures up to 1800°C with capacities of 40–100 MT per 24 hours, while the electric refinery kettles use near-infrared heating to save 30–50% energy compared to conventional systems. Lead recovery rates reach 95%, and refined lead purity reaches 99.999%.
Cable Recycling: Turn Scrap Wire into Copper Rice
Scrap cables contain valuable copper and aluminum trapped within plastic insulation. San Lan offers both dry and wet separation cable recycling plants, with capacities from 100 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour. Our cable granulators and stripping machines handle everything from fine communication wire to thick industrial power cables.
Dry separation systems achieve copper purity of 96–98% with no dust pollution, while wet systems provide even higher separation efficiency for complex cable mixtures. For operations processing jelly-filled cables, we offer specialized recycling lines designed to handle the unique challenges of gel-insulated wire.
Circuit Board Recycling: Capture Copper Powder and Precious Metals
Discarded printed circuit boards contain copper, gold, silver, and other valuable materials. San Lan's circuit board recycling plants use mechanical crushing combined with air or wet separation to liberate metal particles from fiberglass and resin. Capacities range from 300 kg/hour to 5,000 kg/hour, with copper powder purity reaching 96–98%.
The automated process is stable, easy to operate, and environmentally friendly, featuring integrated dust collection and wastewater treatment. For operations requiring maximum metal recovery, our wet separation plants can process PCB waste complete with electronic components, delivering daily throughputs of 4–6 MT per 8-hour shift.
Beyond Equipment: EPC Project Support
San Lan distinguishes itself through comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) capabilities. We assist customers with:
• Customized plant design based on local regulations and feedstock characteristics
• One-stop equipment procurement and supply chain management
• On-site installation, commissioning, and operator training
• Sourcing waste materials including cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries
• Marketing support for selling recovered products such as copper rice and lead ingots
• Investor and partnership matching for large-scale recycling projects
This end-to-end approach reduces project risk, shortens startup timelines, and helps operators achieve positive cash flow faster.
