- Chassis based on a recyclable 240l mobile waste bin.
- Easily portable and transportable.
- Quiet operation (68 dBa peak).
- Contains projectile shards during operation which means it is safe to use.
- Robotic feed system degasses potentially explosive fluorescent tubes safely, prior to processing.
- Microcomputer controlled (locally manufactured).
- Software written in-house.
- Special DC drive motor for pulveriser is manufactured locally.
- Pulveriser designed and manufactured locally.
- Inbuilt filtration in the collection bag enhances the life of the secondary and carbon filters.
- Secondary filter is re-usable.
- Activated carbon filter is specially doped to bind mercury vapour.
- Bonded mercury can be recovered.
- The bulk reduced lamp shards are of a size suitable for safe handling and recycling.
- Lockable lid.
- Password initiated operation.
- Chute adaptor lid recognition.
- The Tube Terminator® will cease operation if:
- moved,
- electrically overloaded
- the lid is opened,
- the carbon filter reaches use-by date or capacity. Code recognition ensures spent filters cannot be reused.
- the secondary filter becomes blocked.
- the collection bag reaches a specific weight or is not in place
- the carbon filter is not in place
- the secondary filter is not in place
- carbon filter screen is not closed.
- If adaptor lid is not in place.
- An LCD display will inform the operator of the current status.
- The lid is gas strut counterbalanced.

- Australian designed and manufactured technology ensures the best possible service and spare parts availability.
- Compliance with Australian EMC and electrical standards where needed is assured.
- The Tube Terminator® is an ideal Point of Use solution because of its maneuverability and ease of operation.
- Transport breakage, and therefore fugitive mercury vapour emissions is virtually eliminated.
- Safety issues associated with disposal of used lamps are virtually eliminated.
- The bulk reduction will reduce storage issues.
- Specialised cartage costs are reduced by up to 90% and therefore the carbon footprint.
- The Tube Terminator® is visually impacting and with the appropriate instruction will become a natural part of the retailing landscape, promoting a more responsible attitude to the safe disposal of lamps.
- If recycling is not on the immediate agenda, our understanding is the bagged waste becomes non-prescribed waste and therefore is suitable for landfill.
- A fast rate of destruction (about 1-2 seconds per lamp) means significant cost savings in used lamp management.
- Elimination of double handling of spent tubes (no repacking needed)
- Non-volatile and locked programming means indelible records of ownership and operation can be monitored to deter theft and maintain safety.
- Collection bag weight monitoring ensures the mass does not exceed 11 kg. (about 150 lamps).
- The Tube Terminator® can also process compact fluorescent and incandescent lamps which means only one machine is needed.
