The Aerosolv® aerosol can recycling system converts spent aerosol cans from solid hazardous waste to a non-hazardous material. It accepts industry standard sized cans with a maximum height of 215mm and threads directly into a standard 51-mm bung on a 110-liter or 200-liter drum.   The aerosol can recycling system body is made of low maintenance aluminum and all moving parts are 308 stainless steel. A non-sparking pin punctures the can, and the residual liquids flow into the collection drum. One 200L drum holds approximately 4,200 spent aerosol cans. Punctured, discharged, cans then be treated as recyclable scrap metal.   Attach the two-part combination filter to the 19mm bung to filter VOCs from any residual propellants. The bottom coalescing cartridge transforms residual liquids into droplets that collect in the reservoir of the cartridge and safely drain into the drum.   The top activated carbon filter cartridge indicates saturation and serves as a replacement reminder. Economical, non color-changing filter is also available. System includes a combination filter, safety goggles, and an anti-static ground wire with alligator clip.   Aerosol Can Recycling System Features: Includes combination filter, safety goggles, and anti-static ground wire with alligator clip Aluminum body with moving parts of 308 stainless steel Non-spark pin punctures can, releasing residual liquids into drum The filter’s bottom coalescing cartridge converts liquid into droplets for safe drainage Top portion is an activated carbon cartridge to filter VOCs, and saturation indicator acts as a replacement reminder   How does it work? There are three separate components to the Aerosolv® system: The puncturing unit, the anti-static grounding wire and the combination filter. The puncturing unit easily fits onto the bung of a standard 205L drum. When inserted properly the shoulder of the aerosol can seals against the tight surface. A simple pull of the hale pierces the can – leaving it safe to then handle and recycle. The grounding wire prevents any static build up providing  extra worker safety. The contents are dispersed to the receiving drum; the particulate laden propellant is coalesced in the first stage of the Aerosolv® filter providing propellant flow through the Carbon cartridge.   Replacement Parts and Accessories We have a range of replacement filters, cartridge’s and maintenance kits available for all Aerosolv systems.
