Mobile Sterilization Systems
The medical waste sterilization autoclave sterilizes medical waste by heating it to a level that allows it to be mixed with household waste, using high pressure and heat. After medical waste collected in bags and boxes is loaded into autoclave containers, it is directed into the sterilization autoclave. The medical waste is heated to 130-145°C after pre-heating and vacuuming, and the pressure is raised to 3.0-4.0 bar. All parameters are programmable through the PLC management unit on the manufacturer’s side.
Sterilization is achieved by waiting for 10-20 minutes, and after the vacuum drying process, the system automatically opens the doors to discharge the waste from the device. The sterilized waste is loaded into the shredding system, where it is completely shredded. As a result, the waste volume is reduced by 60% to 80%.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
PROMED medical waste sterilization autoclaves are fully automatic, with all processes managed by a high-capacity automation system (PLC). All parameters are monitored and recorded in second intervals by the PLC system.
Necessary safety measures for operators have been implemented, and the management of safety restrictions is handled by the PLC. PROMED medical waste sterilization autoclaves are made entirely of stainless steel and the highest quality components, providing users with a long and trouble-free service life.
Sterilization Process
Loading Shredding Heating / Sterilization Cooling and Filtering Discharging
At the beginning of the cycle, when the top lid opens, the automatic elevator discharges the waste into the loading chamber. Once the top lid closes, the shredding begins.
The shredder, controlled by the PLC, changes its rotation direction thanks to the “anti-blockage” feature, which prevents the blades from jamming.
Our specially designed shredder has the capacity to grind very hard materials such as surgical stainless steel instruments and hard ceramics.
The mixing device in the upper chamber ensures continuous feeding of the shredder.
Heating is achieved by injecting saturated steam until a uniform temperature of 134°C (274°F) is reached in the upper and lower chambers. Sterilization is completed by maintaining the temperature between 134°C (274°F) and 138°C (280°F) and the equivalent pressure for 10 – 15 minutes.
These factors allow for the reduction of pathogenic contamination levels in medical waste to 8 Log 10.
Excess steam in the chamber is removed during the cooling phase, and the temperature of the shredded sterilized waste is lowered by injecting cold air into the autoclave chamber.
Sterile and condensed water, which can be safely discharged into the sewage system, is evacuated using positive pressure or vacuum.
When the discharge lid is opened and a container is placed beneath the chamber, the waste lid opens to discharge the sterilized material. Once the container is removed, the bottom lid closes, and the sterilizer automatically starts the next cycle.
