APPARATUS FOR REMOVING THE CONTENTS OF DAMAGED AEROSOL CONTAINERS

摘要

An apparatus is provided for safely emptying aerosol spray cans which are filled with active ingredient and flammable propellant gas and which have valve seat inserts for expressing the active ingredient. The apparatus includes an explosion-proof casing with a cap. A discharge pipe is connected to the lower end of the casing. A first valve vents the gaseous propellant from the discharge pipe and a second valve drains off the liquid active ingredient from the discharge pipe. A clamp means passes through the base of the casing and is sealed to the casing in an explosionproof manner. The clamp is movable upwardly and downwardly for removing the valve seat from a spray can placed in the casing.
