Frequently Asked Questions On Our Aerosol Spray Can Disposal System

1. How does this aerosol can puncturing system evacuate aerosol cans?
After the aerosol spray can is punctured in the sealed evacuation chamber, the liquid and propellant are expelled through the hose into a 55 gallon drum. The propellants escape through the vent in the lid or through the filter where the hydrocarbons are absorbed. Once this has taken place, the can is rendered harmless, non-explosive and environmentally safe for discard.

2. How long does it take to evacuate aerosol cans?
It takes just seconds for the aerosol spray can to be fully evacuated after puncturing.

3. What size spray cans will the Aerosol Can-Emitor accept?
The Aerosol Can-Emitor is the ONLY aerosol spray can disposal system that can accept all sizes of spray cans.

4. When does the VOC's filter need to be changed?
After puncturing 1,000 to 1,200 aerosol spray cans.
Please ask us for more details on the frequency of replacements.

5. Which Dual-Purpose Filter is right for me?
Both of our dual-purpose filters serve the same purpose. The difference between the Standard Carbon Filter and the ColorMatic Filter is that the Standard Carbon Filter requires that you keep track of the number of cans being emptied. On the other hand, the ColorMatic Filter makes it very simple, no counting cans the carbon elements gradually changes from magenta to black, when this happens it's time to replace your filter. You can choose to keep record of the number of uses and when to replace your filter or let the ColorMatic Filter, do it for you, it's that simple!

6. Once used, is the VOC's filter considered hazardous waste?
No, the VOC's filter is designed to allow draining prior to disposal. If it is drained, the filter weight would stay below 3% EPA allowance for non-regulated disposal.
