The SHREDDER, which was designed and developed by STERIFANT specially for the shredding of health
care and hospital waste, can deal effectively with items such as synthetic materials, plastics, bandages, all types of textiles, limb,
bone, metal syringes, needles, lancets, scalpels, bone screws, nails and glass bottles.
The automatic arm lifts the bin and empties the contents into the SHREDDER. After being finely shredded, the waste is compacted at
80 bars pressure, any liquid present is drawn off and put into a container under the shredder. Sterile liquid from the compacting of the waste is drawn off to a separate tank.
This contains only biodegradable residual substances and can be discharged to the local effluent treatment works,
under permit, (sent to the sewage system if permitted) or disposed of by alternative means if required.
The sterile, dry compacted waste, which is dramatically reduced in volume up to 80%, after retrieving all recyclable
materials, can be disposed off in the same way as domestic waste and brought to a landfill.
A proprietary chemical deodoriser perfume is automatically added to the shredded waste to avoid any possible odours.
The SHREDDER system is self cleaning, an automatic washing programme being activated after use. |
