AeroVent Aerosol Can Recycling Systems

Newstripe AeroVent aerosol can recycling systems are used to reduce the handling & processing cost of hazardous waste in various chemical processing and manufacturing facilities. They are used to quickly puncture & drain various waste aerosol cans on site for safe chemical disposal. These compact & portable, can disposal units feature Viz-a-Ball indicator check valves that keep the operator / user safe by indicating when the can is completely depressurised & can be safely opened. This feature also prevents the harmful vapours from releasing into the environment after can processing / disposal. Newstripe AeroVent aerosol can recycling systems feature an inbuilt cycle counter for eliminating the requirement for manually counting and guessing when to replace filters. This cycle counter keeps track of the number of cans disposed of which in turn makes it possible to easily identify the life of filter and schedule replacements.

These aerosol can recycling systems feature Safe2Vent filtersthat have a high composition of carbon media for thoroughly filtering the volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The high composition of carbon media also ensures that the filter remains usable for extended periods. These filters have cellulose media which is 96% biodegradable and aids in the natural decomposition of the filter when disposed of. This feature minimizes the extent of environmental pollution. Newstripe AeroVent aerosol can recycling system's tray design accommodates a range of aerosol cans up to 10.5 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter. This design makes it an ideal choice for various industrial applications.

Aerosol Can Disposal / Can Recycling System

Aerosol can recycling systems are designed to depressurize aerosol / paint cans and automotive oil filters by safely puncturing and draining the inner contents. Raptor Supplies offers a wide array of Justrite, Herkules, Newstripe and Vestil aerosol can recycling equipment manufactured in compliance with hazardous waste regulations. These can recyclers feature a combination filter comprising a two-piece coalescing filter / carbon cartridge to trap odour and potentially harmful VOCs that are released by punctured aerosol cans. The coalescing cartridge converts residual liquids into droplets that get accumulated in the cartridge reservoir, while the top activated carbon filter cartridge indicates saturation and serves as a replacement reminder. Justrite Aerosolv can recycling equipment has low-maintenance aluminium construction with all the moving parts made from 308 stainless steel to provide excellent heat resistance and ductility. They are compatible with all industry-standard cans with a maximum height of 8-1/2 inches and can also be threaded directly into 30- or 55-gallon drums using a 2-inch (O.D.) bung. Newstripe also offers highly efficient can recyclers for use with aerosol cans of sizes up to 3 inches in diameter and 10.5 inches in length. The patented Viz-A-Ball indicator check valve of this system is designed to keep the operator safe by indicating when the system is completely depressurized and can be opened. Moreover, this check valve complies with OSHA and EPA regulations for preventing the escape of hazardous vapours into the atmosphere after processing. Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of aerosol can recycling equipment and related accessories such as activated carbon filters, maintenance repair kits, combination filters and silicone gaskets.

Working Mechanism

  • Aerosol can recycler systems feature can crushers (also sold separately) that employ a locked and sealed chamber for safely puncturing, crushing, evacuating and draining aerosol cans.
  • The aerosol can be inserted into the housing sleeve with the shoulder resting on the gasket.
  • Press firmly against the plastic sleeve or the bottom of the can to lower the sliding top plate.
  • The lock knob should be tightened. While holding the can in place, push the handle down firmly and hold it in place while the pressure and contents are released. Let the contents of the can drain into the drum.
  • The contents of aerosol cans are liquid or gas propellants. Propellants are hazardous materials and pose a safety hazard during the puncturing process because the containers are pressurised and flammable.
  • Even cans that seem empty may contain remnants, therefore, they should never be punctured by anyone other than a certified recycler.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to depressurise aerosol cans?

Users do not need to depressurise aerosol cans separately. We offer aerosol recycling systems that are pre-installed with depressurising systems to eliminate the need for depressurising aerosol cans separately.

Does Raptor Supplies also offer aerosol can puncture devices?

Yes, Raptor Supplies offers puncturing kits from brands like Vestil and Justrite.

How do you dispose of spray sunscreen?

You should use up all the contents of the can, including the propellant, when using aerosols. It is best to dispose of any household hazardous waste at your local collection site or an event sponsored by your local HHW program.

Which bins can aerosols cans be thrown in?

If your aerosol cans are empty, then they may go into normal recycling bins for cans / tins. All partially or completely full aerosol cans should be separated from your other recyclables and general waste as they are considered hazardous waste.

What type of aerosol cans can be recycled?

About 60% of aerosol cans are made from tinplated steel and about 40% from aluminium. Aluminium and steel are recyclable metals. Aerosol cans also contain small plastic and rubber components, such as the lid, valve & dip tube, which are removed during recycling.

How to dispose of spray paint cans?

  • Place several sheets of newspaper on the ground outside. Cover the area where you will be working completely.
  • Spray the newspaper with the spray nozzle and press the button. The can is empty if there is not any paint coming out and no hissing noise. If not, spray until the newspaper is completely covered.
  • To determine if it is empty, shake the can and see if anything comes out. In case of doubt, assume there is still paint inside.
  • Dispose of the empty cans, choosing aerosol can disposable systems available on Raptor Supplies.
