FIRST SHRED - THEN STERILIZE

7 different capacity sterilization systems for specific customer needs;

 - for clinics (P50–P100–P150) and

- hospitals (P300–P500–P1000–P2000)

LOADING
At the beginning of the cycle, once the upper lid opens, the automatic elevator empties the waste in the loading chamber. As the upper lid closes shredding starts.

SHREDDING
The shredder, controlled by the PLC, changes rotation direction due to the “antiblocking” capability that prevents the blades to get jammed. Our special design shredders are capable of grinding very hard materials like surgical stainless steel instruments and hard ceramics. The mixing device in the upper chamber will provide the continuous feeding of the shredder.

HEATING AND STERILIZATION
Heating is achieved by injecting saturated steam until the homogeneous temperature in the upper and lower chamber reaches 134°C (274 F). Sterilization is completed by maintaining 134°C (274 F) - 138 °C (280 F) temperature and equivalent pressure for a period of 10 – 15 minutes. These factors provide the possibility to decrease the pathogenic contamination level in the medicalwasteby8 Log10value.

COOLING AND DRAININGOFCONDENSED WATER
Excess steam in the chamber is removed during cooling phase and the temperature of the grinded sterilized waste is lowered to by injecting cold air in the chamber of the autoclave. The condensed water, that sterile and can be safely discharged into the sewage system is drained with the help of positive pressure or vacuum.

UNLOADING
Once the unloading lid opens and a container is placed below the chamber, the waste trap opens to discharge the sterilized material. As the container is pulled away, the lower lid closes and the sterilizer automatically starts the next cycle.
