BALCAN'S LAMP RECYCLING PLANT
RECYCLING or LANDFILL
Our award winning lamp recycling plant designed and manufactured by Balcan, allows
us to offer you the complete lamp recycling service to accept either whole or
crushed lamps - to comply with WEEE regulations. Our Queen's Award winning lamp
recycling facility produces some of the cleanest glass possible and is considered
to be the cleanest in the UK and one of the cleanest in Europe.
As well as this lamp recycling service, Balcan continues to manufacture and service
their range of lamp crushers and offers their renowned On-Site CompleteCrush &
Lamp Recycling service with lamps being processed through our lamp recycling plant,
which is Sustainalite accredited.
HOW OUR RECYCLING PLANT WORKS
As with all fluorescent tube and lamp recycling plants, lamps need to be crushed
before they can be further processed. The Balcan lamp recycling plant has been
designed to accept both whole and precrushed lamps of all kinds and sizes, which
gives us the advantage over those lamp recycling plant manuf
Once crushed, the lamp debris is fed into a uniquely designed agitator unit that
loosens the mercury bearing phosphor powder, adhering to the glass.
During this process, the mercury bearing dusty air generated inside the unit,
is continually drawn off to a filter unit that removes and collects the powder.
Air exhausted from this filter is then further cleaned by passing through another
larger and highly sophisticated filter, which removes the last traces of mercury
vapour and other impurities before it is allowed to vent to atmosphere as clean
air.
Meanwhile, cleaned recycled glass debris that constantly discharges from the
agitator unit is then separated into its glass and metal/aluminum fractions, by
passing over a powerful magnet from where it is collected into suitable containers
ready for distribution to suitable markets.
The phosphor powder, which contains the mercury element of the gas discharge
lamps, is stored in UN approved drums before dispatch to a highly reputable company
who specialise in the recovery and recycling of mercury. Balcan believe the best
economies are achieved by employing this third party who handle this type of material
in great quantities, rather than undertaking this expensive and hazardous process
ourselves.
