The Universal Bulb Crusher (UBC) Model 1800 is a machine designed to safely crush and compact fluorescent lamps, CFLs, and other mercury-containing bulbs. This helps in reducing waste volume and controlling hazardous mercury vapors released during the crushing process.

Key Features of the UBC 1800:
– Capacity: Can process large quantities of spent bulbs (up to 1,800 lamps per 55-gallon drum).
– Mercury Filtration: Uses a carbon filtration system to capture mercury vapor and phosphor dust.
– Drum Compatibility: Crushed debris is collected in a standard 55-gallon drum for easy disposal.
– Safety Compliance: Meets EPA, OSHA, and other regulatory standards for hazardous waste handling.
– Portability: Often mounted on wheels or a stand for easy movement.
How It Works:
1. Bulbs are fed into the crusher’s chamber.
2. A crushing mechanism breaks them into small pieces.
3. The system filters out mercury vapor and dust through an activated carbon filter.
4. Crushed glass and metal are collected in a drum for recycling or disposal.
Applications:
– Used by facilities that generate large amounts of fluorescent waste (e.g., offices, schools, hospitals, industrial plants).
– Helps reduce disposal costs by compacting waste volume.

Maintenance & Safety:
– Requires periodic filter replacement (carbon & HEPA filters).
– Operators should wear PPE (gloves, masks) when handling crushed material.
