The Technology

TREATMENT PROCESS
How it works…
Stage 1   Stage 2
STAGE ONE - LOADING

The Hydroclave can process:

  • Bagged waste, in ordinary bags.
  • Sharps containers.
  • Liquid containers.
  • Cardboard containers.
  • Metal objects.
  • Pathological waste.
  STAGE TWO - STERILIZING
  1. Powerful rotators mix the waste and breaks it into small pieces.
  2. Steam fills the double wall (jacket) of the vessel and heats the vessel interior.
  3. The liquid in the waste turns to steam.
  4. After 20 minutes the waste and liquids are sterile.
 
Stage 3   Stage 4
STAGE THREE - DEHYDRATION
  1. The vent is opened, the vessel de-pressurizes via a condenser, and sterile liquid drained into sanitary sewer.
  2. Steam heat and mixing continue until all the liquids are evaporated and the waste is dry.
  STAGE FOUR - UNLOADING
  1. The unloading door is opened.
  2. The mixer now rotates in the opposite direction, so angled blades on the mixer can push the waste out the unloading door.
  3. The dry sterile waste can be fine-shredded further or dropped in a waste disposal bin.
The waste is now ready for safe disposal!

  • Guaranteed sterility of all waste particles!
  • No pre-shredding of infectious waste necessary!
  • No special waste bags or chemicals required!
