Balcan’s Solutions for Plastic and Shattershield Lamp Recycling
Plastic and Shattershield Lamp Recycling
Recycling plastic coated & shattershield lamps still involves crushing the glass. Usually the end result is crushed glass in a flattened tube. With the Balcan Raptor Shattershield Processor, glass & plastic are eaisly separated.
Safe & Cost effective solution
Prior to processing lamps and bulbs through the recycler, the plastic cover of lamps must be removed. Conventionally, this involves a person using a knife to cut away the sleeving before the lamp can be processed. However, this traditional approach poses several Health and Safety issues, especially when dealing with lamps that are broken inside their sleeving.
To eliminate these challenges, Balcan Lamp Recycling Systems actively developed the Raptor Shattershield Processor. This innovative system serves as a cost-effective solution to the manual process of cutting sleeving from plastic-coated lamps, eliminating safety concerns and increasing efficiency of the recycling workflow.
Quick & Easy
The Balcan Raptor Shattershield Lamp Processor makes light work of plastic coated tubes at a rate of 2000+ per hour for all diameters and lengths up to 8ft.
How it works
The Balcan Raptor cuts lamps into sections and separates glass from the plastic, which is collected in a standard drum. Glass is then recycled through a system that allows drums of lamp debris to be loaded. The air system effectively manages the powder and mercury vapours generated, maintaining the machine at a negative pressure to ensure safe and controlled operation.
