The Aerosolv® system safely converts spent aerosol cans from solid hazardous waste to a non-hazardous material. It accepts industry standard sized cans with a maximum height of 8½-in (215-mm) and threads directly into a standard 2-in (51-mm) bung on a 30- (110-liter) or 55-gallon (200-liter) drum. 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 55-gallon (200-liter) drum holds approximately 4,200 spent aerosol cans. Punctured, discharged, cans do not meet the definition of hazardous waste per EPA 40 CFR 261.23(a)(6), and thus can be treated as recyclable scrap metal. Attach the two-part combination filter to the 3/4-in (19-mm) 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. EPA compliant.
