Who are Balcan?
In 1980 Balcan designed and manufactured the first commercial lamp crusher. To date they still sell their lamp crushers worldwide, to those who see the merit of crushing lamps prior to recycling.
When we hit the new Millennium, Balcan saw the true need to have to recycle all types of lamps and bulbs and set about designing their own lamp & bulb recycling plant, which they would not only use themselves, but also perfect it and make it commercially available to those who wanted to move into the field on lamp & bulb recycling.
As an actual lamp recycler, Balcan knows how to design a plant that will give maximum efficiency with minimum maintenance. Most other lamp recyclers are governed by the equipment they purchase and most of this equipment was designed and based around linear fluorescent tubes, which easily crush and separate into their relative components. The equipment does not lend itself to today's types of lamps and bulbs, of which there are tens of thousands of different ones, either needing expensive adaptions (if they exisit) or another unit for preprocessing. With the world moving towards CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) Balcan has seen the opportunity to build a system that ticks all the boxes.
The Balcan system has addressed all these issues, including dealing with a percentage of moisture and is moving its sights to become the worlds leading manufacturer and supplier of lamp and bulb recycling equipment.
