PuriCare® Bedding Disposal Stations Provide Mobile System For Disposing Small Animal Bedding
January 10, 2010
PuriCare Bedding Disposal Stations from Labconco provide operator protection from airborne particulates such as allergens generated during bedding disposal operations. Room air is drawn into the front of the enclosure, preventing dust and aerosols from escaping into the room. Before leaving the enclosure and returning to the room through the top of the enclosure, 100% of the air passes through a prefilter to trap large particles and then passes through an exhaust HEPA filter, protecting the environment. A top-mounted, disposable activated carbon and alumina exhaust filter removes odors and other gaseous contaminants.
The PuriCare Bedding Disposal Station is 3' wide and fits easily in cramped spaces. Its spacious access opening provides free range of motion and its large receptacle accommodates large rat or hamster cages as well as smaller mice cages.
The large waste container holds a 40-gallon standard-size trash bags for less frequent disposal. It includes a platform on casters for easy transport.
The enclosure is made of Type 304 stainless steel interior sides, back, upper panel, rear baffle and work surface to resist corrosion. An aerodynamic stainless steel air foil directs inflow air into the enclosure to ensure containment. The large, removable 12" square receptacle in the work surface has an extruded plastic trim ring to cushion cages as they are emptied.
