The unit will also collect the harmful mercury vapors which are contained inside of the bulbs. These vapors are collected in the filtration unit which meets OSHA and ACGIH  standards set forth for mercury vapor exposure. In fact, 99.99% of the vapor is collected.

Additional light bulb recycler features

In addition to the basic operation of the unit, here are some additional features and benefits of the crusher.

• Crushes T12 fluorescent lamps in addition to adapters for T8 and T17 lamps
• The recycler can quickly be moved from one drum to another in only a few minutes
• Each drum will hold about (876 – ‘T12 4′), (1348 – ‘T8 4′), and (473- ‘T12 8′), bulbs
• The crusher comes with a 10 drum filtration kit which will last for 10 fully loaded drums
• A full 1 year warranty
• Fully crushes a bulb in about 1 second

Light bulb recycler benefits to the workers

Using the light bulb recycler will greatly benefit the workers and the environment. Your workers will not be exposed to dangerous broken glass which is common when packing spent bulbs into cartoons for disposal. In addition, the time it takes to crush one lamp takes only 1 second! Compare this to the time it takes to pack lamps into break proof boxes. The time savings is quite substantial, in fact, when you are packing out hundreds of bulbs, the amount of labor saved is very substantial.

Recycling light bulbs Benefits the environment

There are millions of spent lamps that are thrown out every month around the country. Each of these lamps contains mercury which is released into the atmosphere when the bulb is broken. This harmful air contaminant is then breathed in by workers who are packing the bulbs and also eventually released into the outside atmosphere which harms the environment.
