Medical waste disposal is a critical challenge for healthcare facilities worldwide. Traditional methods—often manual, inefficient, and space-consuming—struggle to balance safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. These outdated approaches expose workers to biohazards, lack scalability, and fail to meet strict environmental standards.
GEP ECOTECH’s Integrated Medical Waste Shredding & Sterilization System offers a smarter solution. Designed for high-throughput operations, it combines precision shredding with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) chemical disinfection, transforming hazardous waste into pre-treated, compliant material. Whether handling sharps, plastics, textiles, or mixed medical waste, our system ensures safe and adaptable processing, seamlessly integrating with incineration, autoclaving, or landfill disposal workflows.
How It Works
From intake to final packaging, every stage is engineered for safety, efficiency, and compliance:
1. Smart Feeding & Pre-Sterilization
- Waste is loaded via a bucket elevator into a fully enclosed stainless steel chamber.
- Before shredding begins, strategically placed nozzles spray a high-temperature NaOH solution to neutralize pathogens and ensure a sanitary environment.
- Hydraulic gate valves and HEPA filtration prevent airborne contamination.
2. Precision Shredding & Moisture Control
- A hydraulic-powered shredder reduces waste to 20–100mm fragments, with 316L stainless steel construction to resist chemical exposure.
- Automated interlocks ensure shredding only commences after full sterilization, maintaining operator safety.
3. Secure Discharge & Packaging
- Shredded material is transported via a stainless steel screw conveyor, with an integrated drainage system to control moisture levels.
- A automatic bagging system ensures leak-proof packaging, ready for further treatment—whether high-pressure steam sterilization, incineration, or landfill disposal.
