Frequently Asked Questions

Bulb Eater

users typically nd the machine very easy to set up and use. However, we recognize that

sometimes our customers have questions about their machines. Below is a list of frequently asked questions

that address many common inquiries that we receive. If you require additional assistance please feel free to

www.aircycle.com/resources/FAQ.

What dangerous materials are in uorescent lamps?

Lamps contain many different components and materials, but the only one that is toxic is mercury. Each

lamp typically contains 10-20 mg of mercury, some of which is evaporated. However, other components

and materials of the lamp, such as the glass or powdered phosphors, can be contaminated by the mercury

during the life of the lamp.

More information on mercury and disposal regulations can be found in the reference section of this manual.

How does the Bulb Eater® remove mercury while crushing lamps?

Your Bulb Eater

will remove virtually all airborne powder and mercury vapor while crushing a lamp (over

99%). The Bulb Eater

Arrestor (HEPA) ﬁ lter. The ﬁ rst stage bag ﬁ lter removes 99% of the dust and larger particles from the air. The

second stage HEPA ﬁ lters out the remaining small particles. The HEPA has been shown to capture at least

99.97% of powder with particle sizes of 0.3 microns or greater. The Bulb Eater

vapors through a ﬁ lter of activated carbon specially formulated with sulfur. This carbon ﬁ lter converts

mercury vapors into a mineral, allowing the vapor to be bound into the carbon bed.

How often should lters be changed?

1st Stage Bag ﬁ lter: should be changed twice with every full drum of crushed lamps. Change when the drum

is half full and again when it is entirely full. The Bulb Eater

the HEPA ﬁ lter will be ruined.

2nd Stage HEPA ﬁ lter: should be changed every 10 full drums.

Carbon ﬁ lter: will last the entire life of the machine.

Using the ﬁ lter log included in this manual will help you keep track of when ﬁ lters should be changed out.

Keep in mind crushing bulbs with heavy dust or other materials on them may require ﬁ lters to be changed

more often than the guidelines above.

Refer to page 8 of the owner's manual for ﬁ lter-changing instructions.

Does the spinner assembly need to be changed?

The breaking chain spinner should be changed every 10 full drums of lamps or as needed. Uneven wear

causes heavy vibration.

Refer to the Maintenance & Troubleshooting section of the owner's manual for spinner-changing instructions.

What do I do when my drum is full?

First, let the machine sit "off" for at least 15 minutes before opening the lid. This allows for dust to settle

inside the drum. Once the Bulb Eater

that the drum be resealed as quickly as possible to minimize potential release of remaining mercury vapors

present inside the drum (well under 2 minutes).
