Brandon International is engaged in the sales of lamp recycling and mercury recovering equipment. Our key suppliers are the Swedish MRT System and the American Air Cycle Corporation. MRT has developed and commercializes full lamp recycling systems, whereas Air Cycle specializes in compact lamp crushing units and accessories. MRT's distillers recover mercury from fluorescent lamps, batteries, dental, medical and chemical waste and other infected materials. You can learn more about our product line below.

MRT’s Main Products

STANDARD DISTILLER
For recovery of mercury from mercury lamps, fluorescent tubes, tube ends and fluorescent powder from fluorescent tubes. The distiller can process other mercury bearing wastes with a limited amount of organic materials such as mercury button cell batteries, electrical devices etc. For wastes with high mercury concentrations and organics the MRT Superior Distiller is recommended. Click here for a video demonstration of the standard distiller process.

CCS - COMPACT CRUSH AND SEPARATION PLANT
The CCS is designed for processing fluorescent tubes of various length and shapes. The machine crushes separates the material into a soda lime glass fraction, a metal end (end cap) fraction and a fluorescent powder fraction.
The inlet for the tubes is located at the long side of the container adjacent to the electrical control panel. The glass discharge is likewise placed at the front long side while metal fractions are collected in barrels, easy to reach inside the container. The fluorescent powder is collected in barrels beneath the cyclones and the filter system. A level sensor for the cyclone indicates to the operator when the barrels need to be replaced.

ECM – END CUT MACHINE with row burners The ECM with row burners is mechanically designed for a capacity of more than 5000 tubes per hour. However, a normal capacity is 3500-4500 tubes per hour depending on tube length and tube diameter. Tubes with diameter 26 and 38 mm can be processed mixed together. T5 (16 mm) tubes can be run separately. A simple adjustment must be made by setting the blowing nozzles in the correct height position in relation to the tube being processed.
ECM – END CUT MACHINE WITH CUTTING DISCS The ECM with cutting discs has a capacity of 5000 tubes per hour. Tubes with diameter 26 and 38 mm can be processed mixed together. Length 600mm – 1800mm. T5 (16 mm) tubes can be run separately. A simple adjustment must be made by setting the blowing nozzles in the correct height position in relation to the tube being processed.

HID* LAMP CRUSHER
A smaller crusher for crushing Mercury Vapour Lamps, High Pressure Sodium Lamps, etc.
The crusher is used for crushing the complete lamps or only the arc tubes.
*High Intensity Discharge Lamp, used in street lighting

 

HID LAMP PROCESSOR The MRT HID Processor is designed for safe processing of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps of various types and sizes. In three consecutive processing steps the HID Processor disassembles the mercury lamp in different fractions. First, the outer bulb glass is cracked by a gripping appliance made of specially hardened, wear resistant material. The bulb glass is thus separated from the burner and metal retainer. The second processing step dismantles the mercury containing burner from the metal base. After a crushing session, the mercury contaminated burner glass is dispensed. Through the third and final step the magnetic metal parts are separated and collected inside the machine. The metal retainers will be automatically transferred to and gathered at the metal outlets outside of the HID Processor.

MRT LAMP CRUSHER
A smaller crusher for fluorescent tubes and CFLs. The crusher is an easy and
safe solution for crushing and volume reducing tubes/lamps.

CRT SEPARATOR
High accuracy on the cut that separates the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) into panel and funnel glass fractions, gives the possibility to add more recycled glass into the glass melt for energy and raw-material savings. The mercury containing powder is easily aspirated with the use of a vacuum cleaner.

AIR CYCLE CORPORATION


The "Premium" Bulb Eater® not only crushes spent fluorescent lamps of any length into 100% recyclable material, but also captures over 99.99% of the vapors released! The system, which is mounted to a 55-gallon container, can hold up to 1350 4' fluorescent lamps. The Bulb Eater® frees up valuable storage space normally filled with boxes of spent whole lamps, reduces handling and related labor costs, reducing recycling costs. A three-stage filtering process removes hazardous particulates and gases. A recent study showed non-detectable levels of escaped mercury vapor even after crushing 1500 lamps. A new safety control panel has also been added, giving the operator added security by monitoring seven aspects of the machine to better ensure operator safety.
