Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: How San Lan Technologies Turns Waste into Value

The Growing Opportunity in E-Waste Recycling

Electronic waste represents one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide. From discarded smartphones and computers to end-of-life batteries and industrial cables, the volume of recoverable materials continues to rise. Forward-thinking entrepreneurs and established recycling companies alike are investing in specialized machinery to extract valuable metals such as copper, lead, aluminum, and precious metals while meeting increasingly strict environmental regulations.

However, not all recycling equipment is created equal. The difference between a profitable operation and a costly mistake often comes down to the quality, efficiency, and reliability of the machinery you choose. This is where experience and engineering excellence matter most.

Lead Acid Battery Recycling: Recovering Lead with Precision

Used lead acid batteries (ULAB) remain one of the most recycled consumer products globally, with recovery rates exceeding 95% when processed with the right equipment. San Lan Technologies offers a complete lead acid battery recycling equipment lineup designed to handle every stage of the process.

The integrated system begins with battery breaking and separation, efficiently splitting batteries into their core components: acid, lead paste, lead grids, and plastic casings. From there, de-sulfurization units prepare the lead paste for smelting, while rotary furnaces and blast furnaces extract crude metallic lead with recovery rates up to 95%. Finally, lead refinery kettle furnaces refine the metal to 99.999% purity, ready for resale or industrial use.

Cable Recycling: Turning Scrap Wire into Pure Copper

Scrap cables and wires represent a significant source of recoverable copper and aluminum. San Lan's cable recycling equipment covers the full spectrum from manual cable strippers to high-capacity automated granulators.

For smaller operations or preprocessing of large-diameter cables, scrap cable strippers efficiently separate copper or aluminum cores from plastic insulation. These machines handle cable diameters from 1.5mm to 150mm, with throughput reaching 15,000kg per 10-hour shift.

For higher-volume processing, cable granulators with dry or wet separators crush and sort mixed cable waste into clean copper granules and plastic pellets. Capacities range from 100 kg/hour for compact units to 1,200 kg/hour for industrial-scale systems. Copper purity consistently reaches 96-98%, ensuring maximum resale value.

Circuit Board Recycling: Unlocking Precious Metals

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain some of the highest concentrations of valuable metals found in e-waste, including copper, gold, silver, and palladium. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment employs both dry and wet separation technologies to maximize recovery while minimizing environmental impact.

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 use water-based metal separation for even higher purity levels, particularly effective for PCBs loaded with electronic components.

Capacities are flexible, from 300 kg/hour entry-level systems to 2,000 kg/hour industrial plants, with custom designs available up to 5,000 kg/hour for large-scale operations.

Beyond the Core: A Full Spectrum of Recycling Solutions

San Lan Technologies' product portfolio extends far beyond batteries, cables, and circuit boards. The company also manufactures:
