Solmetex NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator, 1/Pack is used for capturing amalgam particles and other dense solids from dental vacuum wastewater before discharge. Designed for standard practices with one to ten operatories, the system installs downstream from treatment rooms and works continuously with the central vacuum system.

Its certified separation performance supports dental wastewater management and helps practices meet applicable amalgam-handling requirements. The clear housing also makes routine visual inspection more straightforward, while the compact footprint supports installation in equipment rooms where usable space may be limited. This dental amalgam separator provides a centralized solution for practices seeking consistent solids capture without adding chairside steps during patient care. The standard NXT Hg5 measures 30 inches high by 11 inches wide by 8 inches deep and accommodates one to ten operatories.

It is compatible with wet and dry dental vacuum systems and uses 1.5-inch inlet and outlet connections. Net32 confirms that the package includes inlet and outlet piping, Fernco couplers, and a floor or wall mounting bracket. The system is rated for a maximum flow of 1,000 mL per minute and a maximum fillable volume of 950 mL.

Practices planning to buy an amalgam separator should verify available installation space, vacuum configuration, connection diameter, and operatory count before selecting this standard-size model. Dental wastewater enters the separator from the treatment-room vacuum line, where the system separates amalgam sediment and other solids before the remaining liquid continues toward the vacuum source. Solmetex states that the NXT Hg5 is ISO 11143:2008 certified with a 99% separation rate. Captured material collects in a removable container that can be visually checked through the clear system design.

When the collection container reaches its marked full line or its required replacement interval, it can be exchanged without tools while the vacuum remains operating. This mercury waste capture process supports predictable maintenance and helps reduce sediment reaching downstream vacuum equipment. Dental assistants, office managers, equipment coordinators, and qualified service personnel may oversee inspection records, container status, installation dates, and replacement scheduling. The separator is appropriate for general, restorative, endodontic, and surgical practices that use a shared central vacuum across up to ten operatories.

Floor and wall mounting options allow the installer to select a position that maintains access for inspection and container replacement. Because the unit must be positioned between treatment rooms and the vacuum source, professional installation planning is important. Its compatibility with both wet and dry vacuum systems also supports integration into a range of existing and newly constructed dental equipment rooms. Solmetex NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator combines certified separation, compact dimensions, broad vacuum compatibility, and centralized operation in one standard system. The included connection components and mounting bracket support flexible installation, while the clear design allows the team to monitor collected solids without opening the unit. By serving up to ten operatories from one installation point, it supports standardized wastewater management across the practice. Professionals ready to order an NXT Hg5 amalgam separator should confirm the one-to-ten-operatory capacity, 1.5-inch plumbing connections, and 30 x 11 x 8 inch installation space. The single-system package provides a practical foundation for ongoing amalgam collection, inspection, and responsible recycling workflows.
