Profile: Dan-X Incorporated specializes in offering fluorescent bulb crushing systems. The Mark 2000 and its Universal model is an ultimate solution for the disposal of mercury fluorescent bulbs, while protecting the environment from hazardous particulates & gases. The Mark 2000 (Universal) is a self-contained, easy to operate, and very portable crushing unit. It is manufactured with an alloyed steel casing, which is completely corrosion resistant. The Mark 2000 can crush any length straight fluorescent light bulb in seconds, and the Mark 2000 Universal model can crush any size compact fluorescent light bulb (CFLs) in seconds. It is designed to eliminate exposure to phosphor dust and mercury vapor from broken light tubes through a built-in carbon absorption system & particle filter, and can be used in hospitals, educational institutions, residential complexes & office buildings, as well as manufacturing, commercial and industrial sites. The Mark 2000 (Universal) meets all regulatory requirements for the safe use in all institutions, manufacturing plants, office complexes, transit authorities and airports. It is designed to alleviate safety concerns and restrict potential liabilities from the handling, storage & disposal of spent fluorescent tubes and their associated hazardous waste. The Mark 2000 (Universal) is engineered to reduce the tube's glass and metal shards from its chemical components, collecting them in heavy duty replaceable plastic bags while filtering the mercury vapor & phosphor dust through specially designed filters. The bags hold up to 60 crushed tubes and can be safely removed, stored in 210 liter containers, & transported to hazardous waste disposal facilities. This also allows for greater usage of space within the often restrictive confines of maintenance departments due to the compact storage capabilities of the unit.
