Balcan Lamp Recyclers – The Guide
Balcan Lamp Recycling Systems produce machines capable of recycling most types of lamps without need for segregation. The design of our lamp recyclers is modular so it can be scaled up or down to meet our clients’ needs.
All Balcan lamp recyclers incorporate a dual loading system, allowing fluorescent tubes to be loaded at the same time as smaller and crushed bulbs.
The MP range of Balcan lamp recyclers is so called due to its Multipurpose unit which is standard across all models. The Multipurpose unit allows whole & crushed lamps of various shapes and sizes to be loaded at the same time without need for segregation.
Getting into waste lamp management & lamp recycling is straightforward. Smaller users can start with a lamp crusher to test the market, or if already involved in lamp recycling opt for one of the MP range of lamp recyclers. Capacities range from being able to process a few hundred lamps per hour to 12,000+ per hour.
Balcan MP2000
Building on the success of the Multipurpose part of our lamp recycling range, the MP2000 Hybrid is our latest lamp recycler & incorporates an all-in-one system that can process approximately 1000 fluorescent tubes per hour, as well as smaller lamps and bulbs. The MP2000 is designed to be more compact and affordable than other models, making it an ideal recycler for countries, or even islands, where volumes of waste lamps do not justify purchasing our larger machines. Furthermore, companies who are looking to update old machines but are concerned about the LED market can benefit. If LEDs are put through this system, they will come out with the end caps and e-bases of other lamps which can then be turned into higher value fractions by using the Balcan LED1000 lamp recycler.

Balcan MP4000
The Balcan MP4000 is a very popular lamp recycler for small to mid-range lamp volumes. In real terms this machine is ideal for volumes from about 100 tons per year, but will happily process far more. Fluorescent tubes are loaded into this machine through one of the Balcan lamp crushers. Debris feeds onto the conveyor as it passes up to the cleaning rumbler. Other lamps, including crushed lamps, are loaded into the Multipurpose rumbler to screen out the end caps, before the glass carries to the cleaning rumbler. The MP4000 operates at negative pressure with powder & mercury vapour filtration, ensuing that the outlet air contain no mercury, and has a capacity of 1500 linear tubes per hour as well as other types.

Balcan MP6000
The Balcan MP6000 is the smaller brother of the MP8000. Featuring the same conveyor loading system for flurorescent tubes as well as the Multipurpose it has only has one cleaning rumbler. Crushed tubes are fed directly onto the dirty conveyor to transport to the cleaning rumbler. The glass from the Multipurpose unit is collected into a holding hopper where it is fed onto the dirty belt, which allows the machine to be dual loaded at the same time. The Balcan MP6000 has a capacity of 2500 linear tubes per hour as well as other types.

Balcan MP8000
The Balcan MP8000 is the system of choice in the USA and is used by Balcan themselves. It comes as standard with the conveyor loading system for fluorescent tubes. Operating the same way as the MP6000, the debris is cleaned by two rumblers which allows for the increased volumes. The Multipurpose unit, standard throughout the range and like the MP6000, docks with the dirty belt for cleaning of non linear tubes. Negative pressure is maintained by two higher capacity air extractors as well as two high flow annular carbon filters. The Balcan MP8000 has a capacity of 5000 linear tubes per hour as well as other types.

Balcan MP12000
The Balcan MP12000 lamp recycler is capable of processing 10,000 linear tubes per hour along with other types of lamps. While similar to the MP8000, the MP12000 features two conveyor systems in addition to the Multipurpose section. A serious machine for serious volumes.
