Apavia Amalgam Separator for Dental Offices Receives NSF Certification, Exceeds Efficiency Standards
Eastlake, Ohio (PRWEB) July 01, 2014 -- The Apavia® AVTMax™ amalgam separator recently received ISO 11143:2008 certification from the public health and safety organization NSF International, meeting Best Management Practices (BMPs) and exhibiting over 99% removal efficiency.
“Required and regulated by state laws, all amalgam separators must be in compliance with ISO 11143 for use with all dental equipment,” said Meg Shank, Director of Sales at Apavia. “This certification validates that the separator is safe and meets—and exceeds—the minimum 95% amalgam retention rate.”
Designed specifically for dental offices, the Apavia AVTMax™ amalgam separator boasts a high containment capacity for extended service and pump life, and cutting-edge cyclonic design with rapid velocity and waste capture. The AVTMax™ has fewer parts, reducing potential leak and failure points, and a fully molded design offering a clear view of the system in action, so it's easy to identify when the system is full.
Apavia’s high-efficiency cyclonic vacuum filtration solution leads the way in advanced filtration while also complying with the rigid amalgam separation requirement and BMPs. The engineered replacement canister is universally designed to fit currently installed units, and offers one of the highest filtration rates in the industry. All replacement canisters include an environmentally safe recycling program that meets both state and federal regulations, making it easy to order and replace canisters with minimal maintenance.
In tests conducted by NSF International, the AVTMax™ amalgam separator exceeded the ISO 11143:2008 requirements for amalgam retention efficiency, operation and maintenance, and labeling. The minimum efficiency required by ISO 11143 is 95% by mass. The overall efficiency of the AVTMax™ was determined to be 99.721%.
