WHAT IS THE BEST SOLUTION FOR MANAGING INFECTIOUS HOSPITAL WASTE?
Not incineration, because the risk of atmospheric emissions
means that incinerators are subject to increasing public criticism and no longer represent a feasible solution. Moreover, the most recent legislation requires extremely complex and expensive
installations.
Sterilization is undoubtedly a better solution.
Converter H series is an apparatus purposely designed for the treatment and sterilization of pathogenic-hazardous sanitary
waste.
The process allows one to get full sterilization no matter what the waste microbial load is.
This innovative system reaches elevated temperatures which originate from the waste inside. The patented process is based on the transformation of mechanical energy into thermal energy.
Converter H series applies the noted moist-heat sterilization method. However it’s not an autoclave.
The final product is sterilized, dry and odour-free, with a reduction of 70% in volume, 30% in weight.
Converter H series doesn’t need pressure to reach a temperature of 151 °C.
Converter H series doesn’t need specialized operators for its operation.
Converter H doesn’t generate any king of pollution such as
waste-water or vapours released into the environment.
No modifications in the usual rules of sanitary waste collection are required by adopting the Converter H series equipment.
Machinery that is easy to position without having to construction foundations or structural works.
The sterilization cycle is performed in a fully-automatic way.
The final product no longer contains sharp or cutting objects.
The reliability of the Converter H series equipment always allows the work to be completed, even in case of mechanical or electrical failure: an on-board emergency system allows completion of the sterilization, making the final product magageable.
The final product is dry and inert and can easily be stored for a long time before its next destination (energy recovery, incineration, assimilation to municipal solid waste).
