Safe, convenient, and compliant, Aerosolv Can Puncturing System provides an easy-to-use, effective method of relieving pressure in spent aerosol cans. Changing aerosol cans from solid hazardous waste to a non-hazardous, fully recyclable state eliminates the expense of solid waste disposal. Every 100 cans punctured increases recyclable scrap metal by 25 lb. and reduces solid waste by 10 cu.ft., making Aerosolv extremely cost effective.
As an added benefit, residual liquids may be eligible for reclamation or recycling, resulting in “waste minimization credits.” The contents of over 4,000 spent aerosols may be collected in just one 55-gallon drum.

Aerosolv Can Puncturing Unit depressurizes empty aerosol cans and threads onto the 2" bung of a standard 55-gallon drum. All moving parts are 308 stainless steel. It accepts series 200, 300, and 6 oz. cans. No power source is needed. Simply insert inverted can, tighten sliding plate to engage, and press handle to pierce a smooth-edged hole into the dome of the can. Carbide-tipped piercing pin withstands repeated use, with no visible wear signs after puncturing 10,000 aerosol cans.

The combination coalescing/carbon Filter threads into the 3/4" bung and is comprised of two parts. The lower coalescing portion removes airborne liquid while the replaceable upper activated carbon portion adsorbs hydrocarbons and odor. Standard Aerosolv® Aerosolv Can Puncturing System includes puncturing unit with plastic sleeve, anti-static wire, goggles to enhance safety, and standard combination coalescing/carbon filter.

The Aerosolv® Advanced Can Puncturing System also incorporates the addition of a lockout and shutoff mechanism that positively seals the unit from the drum when not in use, eliminating the escape of hazardous vapors while the system is at rest.
A padlock with key is included to insure against use by unauthorized personnel.

The Advanced Can Puncturing System is also easier to keep clean-dirt and grime slide off its Teflon® coated body. A more convenient, color-changing combination coalescing/carbon filter signals saturation and eliminates premature changing of upper activated carbon cartridge. Also includes goggles and anti-static wire.
