Product Profile: Syclone Amalgam Separator from Crosstex

Practice Solutions For The New Federal Wastewater Management Rule

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Under the new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) dental amalgam rule,¹most dental practices are required to install either an ISO 11143:2008-certified amalgam separator or a certified ANSI/ADA Standard No.108 amalgam separator.
• The Syclone amalgam separator from Crosstex supports compliance by removing more than 99% of mercury-containing amalgam from wastewater generated during dental treatment.
• This level of performance far surpasses EPA requirements that stipulate at least 95% amalgam separation efficiency.
• Offering easy installation, the Syclone features an ambidextrous design that eliminates additional costs associated with the possible need for plumbing reconfiguration.
• Federal requirements state that new dental practices have 90 days to install an amalgam separator.
• Existing offices that do not use amalgam separators have until July 14, 2020 to install a compliant unit.
• Dental practices that already have an amalgam separating system have until July 14, 2027 to install a unit that meets all current requirements.
• Made in the United States, the Syclone features an adaptable replacement canister that’s compatible with other systems.
• Ideal for busy practices, Crosstex’s high-capacity canister extends the time between changes.
• Additional advantages include ISO 11143:2008 certification by NSF International and an industry-leading 2-year warranty.²
