JUSTRITE 28202 Standard System for Recycling Aerosol Cans

Justrite 28202 Aerosolv can puncturing kit minimises waste by converting spent aerosol cans from solid hazardous waste to non-hazardous material like recyclable scrap steel. It safely punctures & relieves the pressure of spent aerosol cans for controlled & secure disposable / recycling.

Working Mechanism:

• The non-sparking angled pin punctures the can, resulting in the flow of residual liquids into the collection drum.
• Attach the two-part combination filter to the bung to filter VOCs (contaminants) from residual propellants.
• Insert the inverted aerosol can into the Aerosolv housing.
• Lower the sliding cap and lock it in place.
• Push the handle down strongly until completely depressed and hold in place while the can releases initial pressure and contents.
• The bottom coalescing cartridge transforms the residual liquids into droplets, collects them in the reservoir of the cartridge and safely drains them into the drum.
• The top activated carbon filter cartridge serves as a replacement reminder and depicts saturation.

Features:

• Justrite 28202 Aerosolv can puncturing kit includes an anti-static wire, a two-piece coalescing / carbon filter, goggles and a puncture unit.
• It accommodates standard-sized cans having heights up to 8-1/2 inches.
• It threads directly into a 2-inch-bung on a 55 or 30-gallon drum.
• The puncturing unit is made of aluminium and the rest of the moving parts are made of 308 stainless steel for structural rigidity.
• The angled pin ensures a clean puncture each time.

Compatible Accessories:

• Justrite 28200 Aerolsolv Maintenance Repair Kits: They include a non-sparking puncture pin with O-rings, a spring, an Aeroprene (polychloroprene) gasket, a tube of grease and 3 bridge pins for maintainance & installation.
• Justrite 28181 Poly Sleeves and 28182 Puncture Pin Sleeves: They are used to replace parts of Aerosolv puncturing kits when needed.

Standards and Approvals:

• OSHA
• EPA

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What type of aerosol cans can be recycled?

A. About 40% of aerosol cans are made from aluminium and 60% from tin-plated steel, both of which are recyclable metals. Aerosol cans also comprise small rubber and plastic components, such as the dip tube, lid & valve, which are eliminated during the recycling process.

Q. What maintenance does this Aerosolv puncturing unit require?

A. It requires periodic maintenance, including the cleaning / lubrication of the puncture pin and the replacement of the gasket installed inside the unit to provide a seal against the can.

Q. Can the liquids collected into the drums be reclaimed or recycled?

A. Yes, if non-chlorinated & chlorinated liquids are collected into separate drums, they can be recycled in-house as part cleaning solvents (chlorinated) or reclaimed (non-chlorinated).

Q. How many spent aerosol cans can be punctured into a drum?

A. Approximately 4200 aerosol cans can be punctured before the drum is at the maximum recommended capacity. The drum should not be filled more than 75% for proper displacement of released contents.
