Hospital waste treatment system

for healthcare facilitieslaboratorymanual

Overview
Double-shaft shredder for controlled size reduction of treated biomedical waste. Designed for post-treatment shredding (autoclave, microwave or hydroclave) so cutters and maintenance personnel only handle rendered-safe material. Caster-mounted with a sliding collection arrangement to minimise spread during trolley removal. Capacity: 30 kg/hr (standard); higher-capacity configurations available.
