The Syclone Amalgam Separator from Crosstex International captures amalgam particles that contain mercury from the wastewater of dental offices through a combination of mechanisms, including filtration and centrifugation. Formerly marketed as the Apavia Amalgam Separator, it features a high containment capacity for extended service that extends time between changes and pump life as well as cutting-edge cyclonic action that delivers 99% amalgam separation with rapid velocity and waste capture, Crosstex says. It also is designed for easy installation with an included mounting bracket and accessories. Its ambidextrous design meets the needs of each member of the dental staff as well. And, it supports compliance with Environmental Protection Agency regulations and boasts ISO 11143:2008 certification. For more information, visit crosstexinternational.com.
