Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: From Lead Acid Batteries to Circuit Boards

Every year, millions of tons of electronic waste are generated worldwide, creating both environmental challenges and economic opportunities. Businesses and governments are increasingly searching for reliable, efficient ways to recover valuable materials from discarded electronics while meeting strict environmental regulations. For companies looking to enter or expand in this growing market, choosing the right recycling equipment supplier is the first critical step toward building a profitable and sustainable operation.

San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd, established in 2007 and based in Jiangxi Province, China, has spent nearly two decades developing and manufacturing comprehensive recycling machinery for the global market. With customers in over 21 countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, San Lan has built a reputation for delivering practical, high-performance solutions tailored to real-world recycling needs.

Comprehensive Recycling Solutions Under One Roof

What sets San Lan apart from many competitors is the sheer breadth of its product range. Rather than offering a single machine or narrow specialization, San Lan provides complete plant solutions covering nearly every major category of e-waste and recyclable materials. This allows customers to work with one trusted partner for multiple recycling lines, simplifying procurement, installation, and ongoing technical support.

The company's core product categories include lead acid battery recycling systems, lithium-ion battery recycling plants, circuit board recycling equipment, cable recycling machinery, refrigerator and air conditioner recycling lines, CRT monitor cutting systems, motor dismantling equipment, and even mining machinery such as lithium ore extraction plants. Whether your focus is urban mining from e-waste or raw material processing, San Lan has proven equipment ready for deployment.

Lead Acid Battery Recycling Plants

Used lead acid batteries remain one of the most recycled consumer products globally, and San Lan offers one of the most complete lead acid battery recycling plant solutions on the market. The system begins with hydraulic battery cutters that safely slice batteries and drain acid, followed by advanced breaking and separation equipment that classifies lead paste, lead grids, plastic shells, and hard rubber.

Downstream, San Lan provides de-sulfurization units to reduce melting temperatures and sulfur dioxide emissions, rotary furnaces and blast cupola furnaces for lead paste reduction with recovery rates up to 95%, and lead refinery kettle furnaces capable of producing 99.999% pure lead. The entire line is complemented by water treatment plants and air pollution control systems to ensure environmental compliance. Capacities range from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour, making the system suitable for both emerging recyclers and established operators looking to scale.

Circuit Board Recycling for Precious Metal Recovery

Printed circuit boards contain significant quantities of copper, gold, silver, and other valuable metals, but extracting these materials efficiently requires specialized technology. San Lan's circuit board recycling plant lineup includes both dry and wet separation systems with capacities from 300 kg/hour up to 2000 kg/hour.

The dry separation plants utilize air classifiers, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, and pulse bag dust collectors to achieve copper powder purity of 96-98% with recovery rates around 95%. Wet separation systems are also available for operations preferring water-based metal separation. All designs emphasize stable mechanical automation, ease of operation, and minimal dust pollution, making them practical choices for facilities in regions with strict air quality regulations.

Cable Recycling Systems

Scrap cables and wires represent another high-volume recycling stream where the right equipment can dramatically improve profitability. San Lan's cable recycling plant range covers everything from manual and electric scrap cable strippers for small-diameter wires to large-capacity cable granulators with integrated dry separators.

The cable granulators process insulated copper and aluminum cables to produce clean metal granules separated from plastic insulation. The systems are designed for continuous operation and can handle various cable types, including jelly-filled communication cables. For operations with diverse feedstock, San Lan also offers single-shaft, twin-shaft, and four-shaft shredders that serve as effective pre-choppers, ensuring smooth downstream processing regardless of cable size or condition.

Lithium Battery and Emerging Recycling Technologies

As electric vehicles and portable electronics continue to proliferate, lithium-ion battery recycling has become one of the fastest-growing segments in the recycling industry. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plants are designed to safely discharge, pre-crush, and granulate waste lithium batteries, then separate black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite from copper, aluminum, and plastic fractions.

These plants operate at capacities between 500 and 2500 kg/hour and include dedicated air pollution control systems to neutralize harmful gases generated during crushing. Additional supporting equipment such as plastic pneumatic conveying systems and hydraulic briquetters help customers maximize material recovery and minimize waste. San Lan also manufactures refrigerator and AC recycling lines, CRT cutters, lamp recycling machines, and motor stator dismantling equipment, making it a true one-stop solution provider for e-waste recyclers.

Why Customers Choose San Lan Technologies

Beyond the product catalog, San Lan offers several value-added services that reduce risk and accelerate project success for international buyers. The company's technical team includes mechanical engineers with over 15 years of direct experience in e-waste recycling machine design. San Lan provides EPC project support, from customized plant design and equipment supply through installation, commissioning, and operator training.

The company also assists customers with waste material sourcing, helping buyers connect with suppliers of cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries. For investors new to the recycling industry, San Lan can facilitate partnerships and even help market the end products, such as copper rice, lead ingots, and aluminum granules. With bilingual English and Chinese support and a deep understanding of intercultural business environments, San Lan has successfully delivered projects across Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, South Africa, India, Saudi Arabia, and many other markets.

Built for Global Deployment

San Lan equipment is engineered for reliability in diverse operating conditions. Whether you are building a new recycling facility from the ground up or retrofitting an existing plant, the company offers layout design, composite engineering, and PLC-based control systems for advanced automation. Pollution control systems are integrated into each production line to help operators meet local environmental standards without requiring third-party add-ons.

Capacities are flexible and customizable. Lead acid battery recycling plants can be configured from 1 MT/hour to 10 MT/hour. Circuit board recycling lines scale from 300 kg/hour to 5000 kg/hour. Lithium battery systems handle 500 kg/hour to 2500 kg/hour. This modularity ensures that both small-scale entrepreneurs and large industrial groups can find a configuration that matches their budget and production targets.
