This process is designed in Sweden and is in use at many places in the world .

Equipment for extracting the fluorescent powder in fluorescent lights

This process a whole range of equipment allowing safe recycling of mercury contaminated waste that may be found in :

• Neon lamps ( fluorescent lights )
• Vapour mercury lamps
• Button cell mercury batteries
• Mercury thermometers

The proposed equipment can automatically treat from 1000 to 5000 tubes / hour

According to the project , the system is including :

End cut machines in order to extract the fluorescent powder ( ECM technology )

Shredders and sieving units for complete separation of glass fraction, metals , glass and fluorescent powder ( Compact crush & Sieve unit )

Distillers for transformation and decontamination of the mercury powder into liquid mercury oxyde through evaporation and cooling process ;

Electronic detectors for separation of various grade of mercury fluorescent powder
