A secondary lamp glass and/or parts processor for removing mercury from recycled lamp parts. The device includes a housing defining a heating chamber. A heater is connected to the heating chamber to heat the lamp glass and retort the mercury on the lamp parts. A hopper is disposed adjacent the heating chamber. The hopper can be disposed proximate the heating chamber such that the heat from the heating chamber can be transferred to the hopper. The hopper can be connected to the heating chamber such that parts from the hopper can be fed into the chamber. A blower fluidly connected to the chamber and the hopper forces air through the chamber and into the hopper as parts are fed into the chamber from the hopper.

Method for removing mercury from lamp parts

A lamp processing machine for separating glass, powder and metal lamp components placed within the machine. The machine may include two generally cylindrical, concentrically mounted screens and a tube concentrically mounted between the screens. The screens may be mounted within an enclosure having separate outlets for the powder, glass and metal.
