Integrated Sterilizer & Shredder
Celitron’s medical hazardous waste solution, the Integrated Sterilizer & Shredder (ISS), is a steam sterilizer with an integrated shredder, designed for on-site conversion of biological infectious medical waste in hospitals and clinics, complying the EU and WHO recommendations. The Integrated Sterilizer and Shredder line contains models with 25, 150 and 560-liter capacity, suitable for dialysis centers, laboratories, clinics and hospitals. These health-care facilities with our eco-friendly non-incineration technology are able to reduce the cost on the biomedical waste disposal, while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination as the entire process is done within one single vessel.
- Average processable waste - 5 - 150kg / h
- Easy to Operate– No need for special technician qualification.
- Environmentally Sound- Shredded waste is reduced to as little as 1/5 its original volume, without emitting harmful substances.
- Cost-effective- Inexpensive operation and maintenance.
- Totally Safe- Automatic locking door prohibit unauthorized interruption.
- Efficient- A single unit can serve any middle size hospital, clinic or laboratory.
HAZARDOUS MEDICAL WASTE DISPOSAL THROUGH STERILIZATION: THIS IS HOW THE PROCESS LOOKS LIKE
Our medical waste sterilization and shredding models use only steam and electricity to process highly infectious hospital waste on-site, without emitting harmful substances.
The entire process is automatic, including opening and closing the door, and the sequences of shredding and sterilization. Depending on the capacity, the total cycle time can be as fast as 15-35 minutes with up to 150 kg of medical waste which can be processed in our clinical waste disposal unit.
After being treated in the ISS, the waste is sterile. The liquid components of the waste are steamed out of the vessel, re-condensed and drained to a municipal sewer. As the waste is dehydrated, there is no risk of contaminated wastewater. The waste is rendered, fragmented, non-toxic, largely solid in addition to being dry and therefore safe to be disposed of as regular municipal waste.
The high grade (316L) stainless steel vessel conforms to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and is fitted with a motor-driven shaft, with powerful shredding / crushing blades that can rotate in two directions to reduce the size and volume of the waste down to 20%. The vessel is constructed with internal sprinklers for automatic cleaning and is equipped with one door, provided with an automatic locking mechanism.
The blades are mounted on the shaft and are designed to shred biomedical waste such as sharps, dialyzers, syringes, papers, cloth, plastic and glass. Shredding is important as it enhances the steam penetration therefore improves the overall sterilization results (SAL > 6log10).
The steam is produced by a steam generator, supplied by water purification (reverse osmosis system) and draining system as standard accessories.
