| Aerosol Can Puncturer |
Equipment Description
The
unit is a hand-operated, single-drum, aerosol container puncturer. The puncturing
unit threads directly to the 2" bung of 20-, 30-, or 55-gallon drums. A
combination filter which collects VOCs and propellant liquids, threads to
the 3/4" bung of the drum. The residual liquids drain directly into the
storage drum for eventual removal as hazardous waste.
Benefits of Use
Navy activities generate large quantities of aerosol cans and other aerosol containers. These cans must be disposed of as hazardous waste. The puncturer safely removes the liquid contents so the containers may be disposed of as solid waste. This allows containers to be disposed of as solid waste, not as hazardous waste. The ultimate use of the can puncturer would be in recycling.
