Aircycle Bulb Eater VRS-U Premium Manual
What safety precautions should I take when operating the Bulb Eater
Because of possible lamp breakage outside of the drum, suitable eye protection and protective gloves must be
worn at all times while the machine is in operation. Also, wearing steel-toed safety shoes and disposal overalls
is recommended when changing out drums or moving full drums around for storage or pickup. Take care when
lifting and moving drums of crushed lamps, as a full drum can weigh over 500 lbs.
Before using the machine it is extremely important for the operator to review and understand all instructions and
safety precautions. Refer to the Operation Instructions in this manual for detailed information and procedures.
How should I clean up broken bulbs?
1.
Carefully scoop up glass fragments and powder using stiff paper or cardboard — DO NOT use a
traditional vacuum or broom as these may spread the mercury-bearing phosphor powder.
2.
Place fragments and powder in the drum with crushed lamps.
3.
Use tape or a wet paper towel to clean up remaining fragments and powder.
4.
Place tape or paper towel in a securely sealed zip-top bag and place bag on top of full drum of crushed
lamps with spent fi lters.
What regulatory restrictions apply to operating the Bulb Eater
As a part of staying compliant with EPA and OSHA regulations, Air Cycle recommends that the operator of the
Bulb Eater
®
should be trained on how to properly operate and maintain the equipment and crush no more than
one full drum of lamps per 8-hour work shift in a well-ventilated work area.
Crushing lamps is a regulated activity by the United States Environmental Protection agency. Air Cycle
Corporation strongly urges all Bulb Eater
crushing, storage, shipping, labeling, employee training, and other crushing-related activities at their facility.
Detailed environmental and regulatory information can be found in the Mercury Information appendix beginning
