SOLMETEX NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator (1–10 operatories)
SKU 462844 · SOLMETEX · Made in USA
Description
The SOLMETEX® NXT Hg5® Amalgam Separator is the dental industry's most widely trusted turnkey solution for EPA Dental Amalgam Rule compliance. Certified to ISO 11143:2008 by NSF International, it captures more than 99%% of Amalgam solids from the practice's vacuum Waste stream, protecting community waterways from mercury while extending the life of costly vacuum equipment.
A compact, two-piece design lets the team change only the clear collection container in about two minutes — no tools, no practice shutdown — while a bypass outlet prevents loss of suction when the container is full. This configuration is sized for 1–10 operatories and is compatible with both wet and dry vacuum systems.
