Premium Bulb Eater®


The Premium Bulb Eater® provides emission control to help create the safest work environment possible, while packaging spent straight and u-shaped fluorescent lamps.

Includes a system designed to filter both dust and mercury vapor.

The unit is equipped with a side-mounted dust filter unit containing the highest quality H.E.P.A. filter available. This works in conjunction with an activated carbon filter located in the steel canister. The activated carbon filter actively captures and neutralizes the mercury vapor released from the lamps during crushing.
