The world generated over 60 million tonnes of electronic waste in 2022, yet less than a quarter was properly recycled. For businesses handling end-of-life batteries, scrap cables, and obsolete circuit boards, this represents both an environmental challenge and a missed economic opportunity. Without the right equipment, valuable materials like copper, lead, lithium, and precious metals end up in landfills instead of being recovered and reused.
This is where professional recycling equipment becomes essential. Investing in proven recycling technology allows companies to transform waste streams into revenue streams while meeting increasingly strict environmental regulations.
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been manufacturing industrial recycling machinery since 2007. Based in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, the company specializes in designing and building complete recycling plants for electronic waste, batteries, cables, and mining applications.
With a technical team holding master's degrees in mechanical engineering and over 15 years of hands-on experience in e-waste recycling machines, San Lan offers more than just equipment. The company provides end-to-end support including customized plant design, installation, commissioning, and even assistance with sourcing waste materials and selling recovered outputs like copper rice, lead ingots, and black mass.
San Lan's product portfolio covers the full spectrum of e-waste and metal recycling needs. Here are the primary solutions the company delivers to clients across 21 countries:
San Lan's lead acid battery recycling equipment includes complete breaking and separation systems with capacities from 1 to 10 MT per hour. The integrated process recovers acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste. Downstream smelting equipment such as rotary furnaces, blast furnaces, and refinery kettles produce crude metallic lead with recovery rates up to 95%, refined to 99.999% purity.
As electric vehicle adoption accelerates globally, spent lithium batteries represent one of the fastest-growing waste categories. San Lan's lithium battery recycling plant handles capacities of 500 to 2,500 kg per hour, separating black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum through a multi-stage mechanical process.
The cable recycling equipment line includes scrap cable strippers for diameters ranging from 1.5 mm to 150 mm, as well as high-capacity cable granulators with dry separation systems. These machines separate copper and aluminum from plastic insulation with purity levels reaching 99%, creating valuable metal fractions ready for resale or further refining.
San Lan's circuit board recycling equipment uses both wet and dry separation technologies. Plants range from 300 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour capacity, recovering copper powder with 96-98% purity and capturing precious metals through environmentally compliant processes. Pulse bag dust collectors and cyclone separators ensure minimal emissions.
What distinguishes San Lan from many machinery suppliers is the breadth of additional services offered. The company assists clients with EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects, providing customized plant layouts tailored to local conditions and production targets. For entrepreneurs entering the recycling sector, San Lan can help identify investors, secure raw material supply contracts, and establish offtake agreements for recovered products.
The product range also extends to supporting equipment including four-shaft shredders, hydraulic briquetting machines, refrigerant extraction systems for appliance recycling, motor stator cutters, and medium-frequency induction furnaces for melting recovered metals into ingots.
San Lan has supplied equipment to clients in more than 21 countries including Singapore, Colombia, Vietnam, Mexico, Argentina, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines. This international footprint reflects the company's ability to navigate different regulatory environments, voltage standards, and operational requirements.
The team is essentially bilingual in English and Chinese, which simplifies communication during project planning, equipment manufacturing, and after-sales support. Whether a client needs a single machine or a complete turnkey plant, San Lan's project team manages the process from initial consultation through commissioning.
Choosing recycling equipment involves more than comparing price lists. Factors like processing capacity, separation efficiency, energy consumption, pollution control compliance, and availability of spare parts all affect long-term profitability. San Lan addresses these concerns by offering pilot testing, detailed engineering proposals, and transparent technical specifications before any purchase commitment.
For companies already operating recycling facilities, San Lan also provides retrofitting and upgrading services for existing pollution control systems and production lines, helping clients extend equipment life and meet evolving environmental standards.
