Complete E-Waste Recycling Solutions: Turnkey Equipment for Batteries, Cables, and Circuit Boards

The Growing Opportunity in E-Waste Recycling

Electronic waste represents one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide. Within this waste lies substantial recoverable value: copper, aluminum, lead, lithium, cobalt, nickel, and precious metals. However, realizing this value requires specialized machinery designed for safe, efficient, and environmentally compliant processing. A generic shredding line often falls short when dealing with complex materials such as sealed lead-acid batteries or lithium-ion cells that demand controlled breakdown and separation.

This is where purpose-built lead acid battery recycling equipment, cable granulators, and PCB processing lines make the critical difference. The right system does not merely crush material; it separates fractions with precision, minimizes hazardous emissions, and prepares commodities for direct resale or further refining.

Integrated Recycling Systems for Maximum Recovery

San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has manufactured WEEE recycling machinery and mining equipment since 2007. With a technical team holding master's degrees in mechanical engineering and over fifteen years of hands-on experience, the company delivers systems that cover the full spectrum of e-waste processing.

For lithium-ion battery processors, San Lan offers breaking and separating plants with capacities from 500 to 2,500 kilograms per hour. These systems recover black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, alongside separated plastic, copper, and aluminum fractions. Air pollution control systems absorb and neutralize harmful gases before atmospheric release, ensuring regulatory compliance.

When it comes to cable recycling equipment, San Lan provides both compact granulators with dry separators and larger wet separation lines. Scrap cable strippers handle diameters from 1.5 millimeters to 150 millimeters, preparing material for high-purity copper and aluminum recovery. Granulator capacities span from 100 kilograms per hour up to 1,200 kilograms per hour, allowing operators to match equipment scale to their feedstock volume.

Circuit board recycling equipment from San Lan includes both dry and wet separation configurations. Dry-process plants with air separators achieve copper powder purity of 96 to 98 percent at capacities up to 2,000 kilograms per hour, while wet-separation lines handle more complex PCB waste, including boards still carrying electronic components. Recovery rates consistently reach 95 percent or higher.

Beyond Machinery: End-to-End Project Support

What distinguishes an equipment vendor from a true business partner is the breadth of support provided before and after installation. San Lan operates as an EPC contractor, delivering engineering, procurement, and construction services for complete recycling plants. This means customized plant design, one-stop equipment purchasing, installation, and commissioning are all managed under a single coordinated scope.

Additionally, San Lan assists clients with practical business fundamentals that many equipment suppliers ignore:

• Sourcing waste feedstock such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead-acid batteries
• Connecting operators with buyers for recovered outputs including copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots
• Identifying investors and construction partners for greenfield recycling plant projects
• Providing bilingual English and Chinese support for smooth cross-border collaboration

This integrated approach reduces the risk and complexity of launching or expanding a recycling operation, particularly for entrepreneurs entering the industry for the first time.

Complementary Equipment Lines

San Lan's portfolio extends well beyond the core battery, cable, and circuit board categories. The product range includes refrigerator and air conditioner recycling plants with refrigerant extraction and polyurethane foam separation; CRT cutters that safely separate panel and funnel glass while capturing phosphor powder; motor stator cutters for copper winding recovery; multi-purpose shredders and pre-choppers for size reduction; hydraulic briquetting machines and balers for dense material handling; lamp recycling machines with mercury capture; and medium-frequency induction furnaces for melting recovered metals into ingots.

For mining operations, San Lan also manufactures lithium ore extraction plants, including crude ore processing lines with daily capacities from 500 to 5,000 metric tons and tailings re-processing systems that improve total recovery rates above industry averages. Nano ceramic grinding media for ball mills and tower mills further supports mineral processing efficiency.

Proven Global Track Record

San Lan equipment operates in more than twenty-one countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and beyond. Customers in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and other markets have relied on San Lan's machinery and technical support to build sustainable recycling businesses.

This international footprint reflects not only competitive equipment pricing but also the company's ability to navigate intercultural business environments, manage logistics for complex plant shipments, and provide responsive technical assistance across time zones.

Selecting the Right Equipment Configuration

Every recycling operation faces unique variables: local waste stream composition, available labor, energy costs, environmental regulations, and target commodity markets. A lead-acid battery recycler in Southeast Asia may prioritize high-capacity breaking systems and rotary furnace throughput, while a European cable recycler may need compact, dust-controlled granulators that fit within existing warehouse space.

San Lan's engineering team evaluates these factors during the design phase, recommending specific machine configurations, layout drawings, and auxiliary equipment such as water treatment plants, pneumatic conveying systems, and hydraulic briquetters. Custom design is available for clients with non-standard requirements or specialized feedstock.
