Akon provides customers with our fluorescent light bulb crushing machine as these bulbs are common in millions of offices and manufacturing facilities around the country. Actually, this style of lighting is now the most common form of lighting used in the United States, which means that there are millions upon millions of these bulbs which require disposal each year. These bulbs come in many shapes and sizes and are often times very difficult to manually package for disposal. With that need, the fluorescent light bulb crushing machine was developed to handle these delicate bulbs.
Using the Akon fluorescent light disposal machine results in many environmental benefits by reducing pollution that results from broken fluorescent lights. Mercury is a toxic metal that is a critical component of all fluorescent lights that are produced today. When these lamps break, as a result of packing, storing, transporting or disposal, the majority of the mercury is released into the atmosphere. This mercury is then inhaled by any human who is within close range of the breakage. In addition, mercury accidentally released from broken lamps can get into the water system and then into the fish and water that we eat and drink.
Akon Crusher and Shredders supplies many customers with our T8 T10 and T12 Light Tube and Bulb Crusher to eliminate the need to ship out boxes of spent lamps to a recycling facility. This process of packaging bulbs by hand requires a lot of man hours and resources as they relate to storing the boxes. In addition, a facility that is manually packing lamps must purchase boxes, tape, packaging material and labels. These costs can add up quickly, especially when there are hundreds, if not thousands of bulbs to package.
Akon supplies both major manufacturing plants and office complexes with our industrial light bulb compactors. These compactors are used to dispose of spent light bulbs which reduces storage space costs and environmental concerns. This compactor reduces the spent lamps to a fraction of their original size and also captures 99.99% of the harmful mercury vapor and dust particles.
When you are looking to dispose of your used fluorescent light bulbs you have two options. One option is to manually package them and send them off to the landfill. While this method seems like the most logical, it is actually the most time consuming and dangerous. It is dangerous as handling glass lamps has resulted in many injuries due to the lamps breaking in the workers hands. And it is very time consuming as it can take a very long time to pack out hundreds of fluorescent light bulbs.
We offer the light bulb crusher machine which is designed to improve the storage of used lamps, eliminate the dangerous handling of the lamps and reduce recycling costs. There are companies all around the globe who use the light bulb crusher to make their light bulb disposal processes as efficient as possible.

There are many benefits to smashing light bulbs rather than disposing of them in individual boxes. Two key advantages are the time that it saves packaging the old bulbs and then the subsequent disposal cost of the spent bulbs. There is however an alternative to manually packing all of these bulbs. The light bulb smasher is a compact crushing unit which mounts to a 55 gallon drum and quickly smashes light bulbs into thousands of tiny glass pieces.
The light bulb smasher provides a safe work environment in addition to reducing man hours worked. The operation is simple and the equipment is inherently easy to operate. Simply turn on the unit, then feed the light bulbs into the tube which is located on the top of the smasher. |
