Installing a new container is only part of the process. The step that often gets overlooked is actually sending the full collection container out for recycling.

A container sitting in a storage closet isn't helping your compliance program—or your environmental efforts. And if you paid for recycling when you bought the container, why wait to send it out the door?

The loop isn't closed until the collected amalgam reaches a certified recycler.

Not every dental practice needs the same amalgam separator setup.

The right size depends on your operatories, available space, and installation needs — and choosing correctly can make maintenance and compliance much easier long term.

✔️ NXT Hg5 Mini → compact option for 1–4 operatories and tight spaces
✔️ NXT Hg5 Standard → designed for 1–10 operatories
✔️ NXT Hg5 High Volume → built for larger practices with 11–20 operatories

Which setup does your practice use?

A lot of teams accidentally confuse vacuum lines and waterlines — but they require completely different maintenance protocols.

Vacuum line cleaners are designed for your suction system.
Shock treatments and waterline treatment products are designed for your dental unit waterlines.

Using one in place of the other can leave part of your practice untreated without you even realizing it. Looking for the ultimate guide to cleaning your vacuum lines? Read it here: https://solmetex.co/43AaYlV
