Discover how San Lan Technologies delivers end-to-end recycling equipment backed by nearly two decades of engineering expertise.
The global surge in electronic waste has created both an environmental challenge and a significant business opportunity. With millions of tons of discarded batteries, cables, and circuit boards generated annually, investing in the right recycling infrastructure is no longer optional for forward-thinking companies. Choosing a reliable lead acid battery recycling equipment supplier can mean the difference between a profitable operation and one burdened by inefficiency and regulatory risk.
Key Insight: The fastest-growing waste stream in the world is WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). Proper recycling not only protects the environment but also recovers valuable materials such as copper, lead, lithium, and precious metals that can be reintroduced into the supply chain.
Why Experience Matters in Recycling Equipment Manufacturing
Since 2007, San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has specialized in designing and manufacturing WEEE recycling machines and mining equipment from its base in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China. Over nearly two decades, the company has refined its engineering processes and built a professional technical support team with master's degrees in mechanical engineering and over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machines.
This depth of expertise translates into equipment that is not only mechanically robust but also optimized for real-world operating conditions. San Lan's engineers understand the nuances of material variability, dust control, emissions compliance, and throughput optimization that textbook designs often overlook.
From Single Machines to Full EPC Turnkey Plants
One of the most significant challenges in setting up a recycling facility is coordinating multiple vendors for different stages of the process. San Lan addresses this by offering complete EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) project services. This means customers receive customized plant design, equipment supply, installation, and commissioning from a single responsible partner.
Whether you need a standalone cable recycling equipment unit to process scrap copper and aluminum wire, or a fully integrated lead acid battery recycling plant with breaking systems, smelting furnaces, and effluent treatment, San Lan provides scalable solutions tailored to your feedstock and capacity targets.
- Lead Acid Battery Recycling Plants -- Capacity: 1--10 MT/hour. Complete breaking and separation systems plus rotary furnaces, blast furnaces, and refinery kettles.
- Lithium Battery Recycling Plants -- Capacity: 500--2500 kg/hour. Recovers black mass (Ni, Co, graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum.
- Circuit Board Recycling Plants -- Capacity: 300--2000 kg/hour. Wet and dry separation options with copper powder purity reaching 96--98%.
- Cable Recycling Plants -- Granulators and strippers for separating copper/aluminum from plastic insulation.
- Refrigerator & AC Recycling -- Refrigerant extraction, compressor cutting, and shredding lines with recovery rates above 90%.
- Lithium Ore Extraction Plants -- Processing 500--5000 MT/day with improved recovery rates over industry averages.
Recovering Value from Circuit Boards with Proven Technology
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are among the most complex e-waste materials to process, containing a mixture of metals, plastics, and hazardous substances. San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment employs both wet and dry separation technologies depending on customer requirements and local environmental regulations.
The WCBD series dry separation plants use air classification, vibrating screens, electrostatic separators, and pulse dust collectors to achieve recovery rates of approximately 95% with copper powder purity between 96% and 98%. For operations where water-based separation is preferred, the WCB wet separator series offers stable mechanical automated processes that are easy to operate and environmentally friendly.
Beyond Equipment: Value-Added Partnership
What sets an experienced recycling equipment supplier apart is the ability to support customers beyond the point of sale. San Lan offers several value-added services that help new and expanding recycling businesses succeed:
Waste Material Sourcing Assistance: For customers entering the recycling market, San Lan helps identify and purchase feedstock materials such as cable scrap, PCB scrap, and used lead acid batteries.
Product Sales Support: After processing, recovered materials like copper rice, copper powder, and lead ingots need buyers. San Lan assists customers in connecting with downstream purchasers.
Investor and Partnership Facilitation: For large-scale recycling plant projects, San Lan can help locate investors and construction partners to share capital requirements and technical risk.
Bilingual Project Management: With essentially bilingual capabilities in English and Chinese, combined with a strong understanding of intercultural business environments, San Lan's project teams communicate effectively with international clients across Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East.
Global Installations, Local Results
San Lan's equipment is currently operating in more than 21 countries, including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Zambia. This international footprint demonstrates that the company's machinery performs reliably across diverse climates, regulatory frameworks, and feedstock compositions.
Customer Example: A lead acid battery recycling plant in Southeast Asia achieved consistent lead recovery rates above 95% using San Lan's integrated breaking, separation, and smelting system, meeting local environmental emissions standards while operating at targeted throughput.
Designing for Environmental Compliance
Modern recycling plants must satisfy increasingly strict environmental regulations. San Lan integrates pollution control systems directly into its plant designs. Air pollution control systems for both lead acid and lithium battery recycling lines absorb and neutralize harmful gases before atmospheric release. Water treatment plants handle acidic wastewater from battery breaking processes. De-sulfurization units remove sulfur from lead paste, reducing SO2 emissions and lowering melting energy consumption by 30--50% in electric refinery configurations.
These integrated environmental controls protect operators from regulatory penalties and position recycling businesses as responsible corporate citizens in their communities.
