Maximize Metal Recovery with Advanced E-Waste Recycling Equipment
As global electronic waste generation surpasses 60 million metric tons annually, recycling businesses face both an environmental imperative and a lucrative economic opportunity. The key to capturing this value lies in selecting the right recycling machinery—equipment designed not just to process waste, but to extract maximum recoverable materials with efficiency and environmental compliance.
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been at the forefront of this industry since 2007, providing professional lead acid battery recycling equipment, lithium battery recovery systems, cable granulators, and circuit board processing plants to clients across 21+ countries. With over 15 years of engineering expertise and a master's-level technical team, San Lan delivers complete turnkey solutions that transform waste streams into profitable raw materials.
The Growing Demand for Professional Battery Recycling Solutions
Batteries represent one of the most valuable—and environmentally sensitive—waste streams in the recycling industry. Lead acid batteries contain significant amounts of recoverable lead, plastic, and sulfuric acid, while spent lithium-ion batteries hold valuable quantities of copper, aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and graphite-rich black mass.
San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment offers complete processing lines with capacities ranging from 1 to 10 metric tons per hour. The integrated system breaks and separates used lead acid batteries to recover four distinct product streams: lead paste, lead grid, PVC/PP plastic, and hard rubber. Advanced downstream processing includes de-sulfurization units that remove sulfur from PbSO4, significantly reducing melting temperatures and SO2 emissions while saving energy and additives.
Lead Recovery Excellence
San Lan's blast furnaces achieve lead recovery rates of 95%, while rotary furnaces for paste reduction offer even higher efficiency compared to traditional blast furnace operations. The lead refinery kettle furnace further processes crude lead to 99.999% purity, with electric heating options that deliver 30-50% energy savings through near-infrared heating technology.
For lithium battery processors, San Lan provides complete recycling plants handling 500-2,500 kg per hour. These systems safely discharge, pre-crush, and granulate waste lithium batteries, then separate black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum through multi-stage mechanical processing. Integrated air pollution control systems absorb and neutralize harmful gases before atmospheric release, ensuring full environmental compliance.
Cable and Circuit Board Recovery: High-Purity Metal Extraction
Copper recovery from scrap cables and printed circuit boards remains one of the most profitable segments in e-waste recycling. San Lan's cable recycling equipment includes both manual scrap cable strippers for preprocessing and automated cable granulators with dry separation technology. The compact granulator systems separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with high efficiency, producing clean metal fractions ready for smelting or direct sale.
For circuit board processing, San Lan offers both wet and dry separation technologies. The WCBD series air separation plants achieve copper powder purity of 96-98% with recovery rates of 95%, while wet separation systems like the WCB-2000C handle up to 2,000 kg per hour with mechanical automated processes that ensure stable operation and environmentally friendly processing. These systems effectively extract copper powder and precious metals from printed circuit board waste without creating dust pollution.
Circuit Board Processing Capabilities
- Dry separation systems: 300-2,000 kg/hour capacity
- Wet separation systems: 500-2,000 kg/hour capacity
- Copper powder purity: 96-98%
- Overall recovery rate: 95%
- Zero dust pollution operation
Complete E-Waste Processing: Beyond Batteries and Boards
Modern recycling operations require versatile equipment capable of handling diverse waste streams. San Lan's product portfolio extends to circuit board recycling equipment, CRT cutting and separation systems for obsolete monitor recycling, refrigerator and air conditioner dismantling plants that safely extract refrigerants before material separation, and motor stator cutters that efficiently recover copper windings from electric motor cores.
The company's shredder and pre-chopper line includes single-shaft, twin-shaft, and four-shaft configurations with capacities from 200 kg/hour to 6 metric tons/hour. These rugged machines serve as the critical first step in any recycling line, reducing diverse e-waste materials to uniform sizes for downstream processing. The four-shaft shredder IC-1800, for example, handles PCBs, cables, refrigerators, washing machines, lead acid batteries, and lithium batteries at 4-6 MT/hour with dual 22KW motors.
