The global surge in electronic waste has created both an environmental challenge and a business opportunity. With discarded batteries, obsolete circuit boards, and scrap cables piling up in landfills, industries worldwide are seeking reliable recycling equipment to recover valuable materials and reduce environmental impact. Finding the right machinery partner can determine whether your recycling operation thrives or struggles with inefficiency and compliance issues.
Why E-Waste Recycling Matters Now
Electronic waste represents one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. Used lead acid batteries, spent lithium-ion cells, and discarded printed circuit boards contain recoverable amounts of copper, lead, aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and precious metals. Without proper processing equipment, these materials go to waste while toxic substances leach into soil and water. Modern recycling plants transform this liability into profit by extracting raw materials that feed back into manufacturing supply chains.

Product Portfolio Overview
San Lan manufactures processing lines and standalone machines for nearly every category of electronic scrap. The following product categories cover the full spectrum of e-waste recycling needs:
Lead Acid Battery Recycling
Complete plants breaking and separating used batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste with capacity from 1-10 MT/hour.
Lithium Battery Recycling
Systems processing waste Li-ion batteries to recover black mass, copper, aluminum, and plastic with capacity ranging 500-2500 kg/hour.
Circuit Board Recycling
Dry and wet separation plants extracting copper powder and precious metals from PCB scrap with capacity from 300-2000 kg/hour.
Cable Recycling
Granulators and strippers separating copper and aluminum from plastic insulation, handling everything from thin wires to jelly-filled cables.
Refrigerator & AC Recycling
Shredding and separation plants with refrigerant extraction, achieving over 90% recovery rates for iron, copper, aluminum, and plastic.
CRT & Lamp Recycling
Specialized cutters and bulb eaters safely processing display monitors and fluorescent tubes while capturing hazardous mercury.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling Equipment: A Closer Look
Among San Lan's most established product lines, the lead acid battery recycling equipment series covers every stage of processing. The workflow begins with hydraulic battery cutters that safely section batteries and drain acid. Breaking and separation systems then classify components into lead paste, lead grids, plastic, and hard rubber. For lead recovery, the company offers rotary furnaces with higher recovery rates than traditional blast furnaces, plus de-sulfurization units that reduce melting temperatures and SO2 emissions. The line completes with lead refinery kettles capable of producing 99.999% pure lead using energy-efficient near-infrared heating that cuts power consumption by 30-50%.
Cable Recycling Equipment for Scrap Wire Processors
The cable recycling equipment range addresses the full diversity of wire scrap. For thick armored cables and large-diameter wires, hydraulic scrap cable strippers handle diameters from 1.5mm to 150mm. For mixed and fine wire, compact granulators with dry separators process material without water, eliminating wastewater concerns. Higher-capacity wet separation systems handle jelly-filled cables and complex multi-core wiring. The result is clean copper or aluminum granules separated from plastic insulation, ready for direct smelting or resale.
What Sets San Lan Apart
Equipment buyers face significant risks when sourcing machinery internationally. San Lan reduces these risks through several differentiated services:
- EPC Project Delivery: Rather than simply shipping machines, San Lan manages complete plant construction from design through commissioning. This turnkey approach eliminates the coordination headaches of dealing with multiple contractors.
- Raw Material Sourcing Assistance: For customers entering the recycling business, San Lan helps identify reliable suppliers of waste batteries, cable scrap, and PCB materials to ensure feedstock availability.
- Product Offtake Support: The company assists customers in selling recovered materials such as copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots, accelerating return on investment.
- Investor Partnership: San Lan actively seeks investors and partners for recycling plant construction, bringing capital and expertise together for new market entrants.
- Post-Sale Technical Support: Installation, commissioning, operator training, and ongoing troubleshooting keep plants running at designed capacity.
Global Footprint and Proven Performance
San Lan equipment operates in over 21 countries across five continents. Customers in Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Zambia, and Israel have successfully deployed San Lan processing lines. This geographic diversity demonstrates the equipment's adaptability to different regulatory environments, climate conditions, and feedstock characteristics.
Technical Specifications You Can Verify
San Lan publishes concrete performance data rather than vague claims. Circuit board recycling plants achieve 95-98% copper powder purity. Refrigerator shredding systems recover over 90% of iron, copper, aluminum, plastic, and polyurethane. Lithium ore extraction plants improve total recovery rates to 75% compared to the industry average of 65%, while reducing tailings grade from 0.25-0.3% to 0.15%. These measurable outcomes allow buyers to model their operations with confidence.
Getting Started with Your Recycling Project
Whether you are expanding an existing operation or launching a new recycling venture, selecting the right equipment configuration determines long-term profitability. San Lan's consultative approach begins with understanding your feedstock types, volume requirements, local regulations, and budget constraints. The engineering team then proposes customized equipment combinations rather than forcing standardized packages that may not match your specific situation.
