Introducing the Bulb Eater® 3 & the Bulb Eater® 3L with Intelli Technology
The Bulb Eater 3 system not only crushes spent fluorescent lamps of any length, u-tubes, and CFL’s into 100% recyclable material, but it also captures over 99.99% of the vapors released! The system, which is mounted to a 55-gallon drum, can hold up to 1350 4’ fluorescent lamps.
A five-stage filtering process removes hazardous particulates and vapors. A recent study showed non-detectable levels of emitted mercury vapor even after crushing 1700 lamps. A digital control panel gives the operator added security by monitoring various aspects of the machine to better ensure operator safety.
In addition to providing OSHA and ACGIH compliance, the Bulb Eater 3 frees up valuable storage space normally filled with boxes of spent intact lamps, reduces handling and related labor costs, and typically cuts recycling costs by 50% or more.
Eliminate storage hassles - Reduce your needed storage space for lamps by crushing over 1350 T8 4' lamps per 45-gallon drum (The Bulb Eater® crushes all length lamps, see picture to better visualize size reduction).

Reduce handling - Handle your spent bulbs once. Simply roll your Bulb Eater® lamp crushing system on a 45-gallon drumdollie (sold separately) to the work area or into a storage area. Save roughly 20 hours of labor per 1000 lamps by crushing rather than boxing the lamps!
Safer work environment - EPA studies show an estimated 2-3% accidental breakage rate while boxing lamps prior to pick-up. The 0.001% emission rate from the Bulb Eater® lamp crushing system provides for less mercury vapor emission. Your workers are not only safer, but your liability is reduced.
Cut costs - By pre-crushing the lamps, facilities are able to save money on their lamp recycling costs. Savings are typically anywhere from a dime to $1 per lamp!
Our most recent emission study showed non-detectable levels of mercury vapor emissions even after crushing 1500 lamps!
