There are three types of medical waste management and treatment processes used internationally: medical waste crushing followed by sterilization, medical waste crushing while sterilizing, and medical waste sterilization followed by crushing.
Crushing followed by sterilization – Medical waste shredder autoclave in one machine
Using the «crushing first, then sterilization» process, survey results show that crushing is carried out in an airtight environment. The crushing process contains a large number of blood-borne pathogens completely sealed within the all-in-one machine. During the sterilization process after crushing, the entire crushing part is also sterilized, so leakage of blood-borne pathogens and spread of germs is unlikely, and repair and maintenance are extremely easy. Moreover, the crusher is easy to clean and disinfect after contamination.
Sterilization and crushing at the same time
Automated medical waste high temperature steam sterilization treatment system
The waste is manually pushed or automatically delivered on a track, then sterilized and crushed. This is currently the most widely used medical waste treatment technology in many countries. Medical waste is loaded into a specialized sterile vehicle and placed entirely into the sterilization chamber for sterilization. After processing, the waste is poured into the crusher for destruction treatment, and then the reduced material is disposed of properly.
Medical waste treatment system features:
● For large and medium-sized centralized treatment plants, suitable for concentrated treatment of medical waste.
● Professional anti-corrosion technology; average equipment service life up to 15 years.
● Exhaust gas and waste liquid integrated treatment technology reduces overall energy consumption.
● Sophisticated control technology achieves technology levels comparable to Europe and America.
● Intelligent operation; processing is automatic with PLC computer control (sterilization temperature and time can
be adjusted according to actual requirements).
● Can realize automatic loading, unloading, sterilization of medical waste vehicles, and transfer and cleaning of
turnover boxes without manual intervention, effectively reducing the number of equipment operators and labor
intensity, and preventing infections caused by direct contact with medical waste.
● Can avoid the spread of pre-bacterial pellets in medical waste.
● Sterilizer more easily meets medical waste treatment requirements; continuous or intermittent operation can be
achieved.
Sterilization before shredding
Centralized medical waste high-temperature steam processing kits are suitable for medical waste centralized disposal in large and medium-sized cities. A single unit can meet disposal requirements of 1 ton to 20 tons per day. The complete set of equipment fully meets medical waste management requirements, with a disposal temperature of 134°C and disposal time of 45 minutes. The sterilization rate can reach 99.999%. Supporting equipment ensures that sterilized medical waste is reduced in volume, and the final material is safely landfilled. WANROOETECH medical waste high-temperature treatment equipment incorporates US technology, using vacuum technology to reduce malodors during the disposal process.
