ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for processing used light bulbs containing gases and powdered coatings in order to separate the gases and coatings from the bulb housing materials. The device (10) includes a screw-type auger (44)journaled within an elongated inclined cylindrical housing (20) which performs the fracturing and separating actions assisted by a vacuum filtration system (14). The invention comprises a specially-shaped fin configuration for the auger (44) to create additional turbulence within the cylindrical housing (20) to ensure that any hazardous vapors or coatings are fully removed from the glass housing.
