ABSTRACT:
The device comprises a cylindrical crusher housing mounted on a carriage above a removable wastebucket, which communicates with a funnel-shaped discharge formed in the lower end of the housing. The top of the housing is sealed by a cover which has a lamp inlet opening and an exhaust opening. The shaft of an electric motor extends into the housing and has secured thereto a plurality of flails or crusher elements which rotate at high speeds adjacent the inlet opening to strike and crush lamps entering the housing. The exhaust opening is connected by a duct to a filter cartridge which is removably mounted on the exterior of the crusher housing above an exhaust fan. The cartridge contains a porous filter bag, which is removably attached to the exhaust duct, and an activated charcoal filter element, which is positioned in the cartridge beneath the bag and in communication with the fan inlet. The exhaust fan operates simultaneously with the crusher motor to develop a vacuum which draws exhaust air from within the housing successively through the filter bag and the charcoal filter element. The filter element is specially treated to remove mercury vapor from the exhaust air that passes through the element.
