Description
Unit Size: Each
With a waste treatment capacity of 500 L/h (or up to 50 kg/h with a waste density of 1 L=0.1 kg), the Sterilwave SW250 allows medium-sized institutions to treat their biomedical waste, guaranteeing safety and traceability at greatly reduced operating costs. Average Cycle time is 30 mins.Environmental impact and operating costs are reduced while ensuring the safety of the operator. As it uses microwave technology, the Sterilwave does not need a steam generator, so there is no risk from excess pressure and no liquid effluent is produced. The compact size of the SW250 unit means waste can be treated immediately where it is produced. Its installation requires only 12 m² of space and no additional infrastructure.BERTIN TECHNOLOGIES currently offers 3 models: STERILWAVE SW100 series, SW250 series and SW440 series to accommodate the requirements of any hospital size in order to optimize the return on investment
• Bacterial inactivation higher than international regulatory standards (up to 8 log_10, independently tested by the Pasteur Institute).
• Competitive investment for its lowest cost per Kg of waste and short payback period.
• No environmental impact as on-site treatment technology
• No transportation (reduced carbon footprint)
• No emission, No liquid effluent rejected, No waste of water.
• Waste weight reduction by up to 25%.
• Waste volume reduction by up to 85%.
• No pressurization required unlike in an autoclave set up
• Sterilwave is suitable for all types of biomedical waste (needles, glass, solids, liquids, etc)
• No need for specific construction works or additional infrastructure.
• No need for special transport requirements of final waste.
• Low operational costs (low energy consumption, no water, no steam, less than 10 minutes of operator time required per cycle).
• Final waste is dry, inert, stable, unrecognizable, sterilized and recyclable with high calorific power. Can be associated as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) product.
• Robust equipment - No more storage, easy to maintain.
• Only requires electricity supply.
• Real time monitoring and efficiency control.
• Eliminates risk of exposure to staff during storage, no intermediate handling.
• Safe and full automated process (loading, sterilizing, transfer) in a closed and compact system.
• Easy to install (stand alone module). Minimal installation requirements.
• Easy to relocate.
• Unlike autoclave technologies which consume a large quantity of water, the Sterilwave's microwave technology produces only dry final waste material. As a result, odours linked to the treatment of biomedical waste are minimised when compared to other procedures. Additional odour reducing solution available
