As global electronic waste continues to surge past 60 million metric tons annually, businesses and governments are under increasing pressure to implement sustainable recycling practices. The shift toward a circular economy has created unprecedented demand for reliable, efficient recycling equipment that can recover valuable materials while minimizing environmental impact. San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd stands at the forefront of this transformation, providing comprehensive recycling solutions to clients across 21 countries.
A Legacy of Innovation in Recycling Technology
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, San Lan Technologies has spent nearly two decades developing specialized machinery for WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) recycling and mining applications. The company's extensive product portfolio spans 13 categories and over 60 products, ranging from lead acid battery recycling equipment and lithium-ion battery processing plants to cable recycling equipment and circuit board recycling equipment.
What sets San Lan apart is its deep technical expertise. The company maintains a professional technical support team composed of mechanical engineering masters with over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machinery design and optimization. This expertise translates into equipment that delivers consistent performance, high recovery rates, and long-term operational reliability.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling: Maximizing Lead Recovery
Used lead acid batteries represent one of the most recycled consumer products globally, yet improper processing poses significant environmental and health risks. San Lan's lead acid battery recycling plant offers a complete solution that safely breaks and separates batteries into four valuable output streams: lead paste, lead grids, plastic shells, and acid. With processing capacities ranging from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour, these systems accommodate operations of various scales.
The integrated process line includes battery cutting systems, breaking and separation equipment, de-sulfurization units, and advanced smelting furnaces. The rotary furnace for paste reduction achieves higher lead recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces, while the lead refinery kettle produces 99.999% pure lead suitable for battery manufacturing. Comprehensive air pollution control and water treatment systems ensure full environmental compliance.
Lithium Battery Recycling: Capturing Critical Materials
The explosive growth of electric vehicles and portable electronics has created urgent demand for lithium battery recycling infrastructure. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant addresses this need with systems capable of processing 500 to 2,500 kilograms per hour. The equipment safely discharges, pre-crushes, and granulates waste lithium batteries, then separates the resulting materials into high-value fractions.
The separation process recovers black mass containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite, along with copper, aluminum, and plastic components. Dedicated air pollution control systems neutralize harmful gases generated during crushing, while pneumatic conveying systems and hydraulic briquetters handle plastic separator films with 10:1 volume compression ratios. These integrated solutions enable operators to capture maximum value from spent lithium-ion power sources.
Cable and Circuit Board Processing: Precious Metal Recovery
Copper and precious metals contained in scrap cables and printed circuit boards represent significant economic opportunity. San Lan's cable recycling machines handle wire diameters from 1.5mm to 150mm, separating copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with high purity outputs. The compact granulator systems with dry separators achieve efficient separation while maintaining small operational footprints.
For circuit board processing, San Lan offers both wet and dry separation technologies. The WCBD series with air separators achieves copper powder purity of 96-98% with 95% recovery rates and no dust pollution. Wet separation systems like the WCB-2000C process up to 2,000 kg per hour and can handle PCB waste with components still attached, offering flexibility for diverse feedstock conditions.
Beyond Core Recycling: Comprehensive Equipment Range
San Lan's expertise extends across the entire e-waste spectrum. The company's CRT recycling machines safely cut and separate cathode ray tube monitors, collecting phosphor powder while segregating panel and funnel glass. Refrigerator and air conditioner recycling plants extract refrigerants for proper handling before shredding and separating metals, plastics, and polyurethane with recovery rates exceeding 90%.
Additional product lines include motor stator cutters for copper winding extraction, multi-purpose shredders for pre-processing various waste streams, lamp recycling machines that capture mercury via HEPA filtration, and medium frequency induction furnaces for melting recovered metals into ingots. This breadth enables San Lan to serve as a single-source supplier for complete recycling facility builds.
Turnkey Project Execution and Value-Added Services
San Lan distinguishes itself through comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) capabilities. Beyond manufacturing equipment, the company provides customized plant design, installation supervision, commissioning support, and operator training. This turnkey approach reduces project complexity for clients and ensures seamless integration of all system components.
Value-Added Services Include:
- Assistance sourcing waste materials (cable scrap, PCB scrap, used batteries)
- Support selling recycled outputs (copper rice, lead ingots, aluminum)
- Pollution control system design and retrofitting
- Investor and partner identification for recycling plant construction
- Continuous technical consultancy and maintenance guidance

Global Reach with Local Understanding
With installations spanning Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Zambia, Israel, and beyond, San Lan has demonstrated its ability to adapt solutions to diverse regulatory environments, material streams, and operational requirements. The team's bilingual English-Chinese capabilities and cross-cultural business experience facilitate smooth communication throughout project lifecycles.
This international exposure has informed continuous product improvement. Whether addressing tropical humidity conditions, high-altitude installations, or varying electrical standards, San Lan's equipment designs incorporate lessons learned from real-world deployments across multiple continents.
Building Sustainable Recycling Infrastructure
The transition to sustainable material management requires more than isolated equipment purchases—it demands integrated systems designed for long-term operational success. San Lan Technologies approaches each project with this holistic perspective, combining robust machinery with technical expertise, supply chain support, and ongoing partnership.
For organizations seeking to enter or expand within the recycling sector, partnering with an experienced equipment manufacturer reduces execution risk and accelerates path to profitability. San Lan's vision of building the leading international brand in WEEE recycling plant solutions reflects its commitment to customer success through deep understanding of requirements, win-win cooperation, and professional relationship management.
