The Sterilwave 250 has the same approvals as the SW 440 machine used in the UK/NHS for over 8 years and complies with the strictest environmental and bacteriological reduction standards. It allows institutions to treat up to 500L of biomedical waste per hour (50kg/hr*) in complete safety.
Its innovative concept uses rotating grinder blades to grind down all types of waste, including metallic objects. Biohzardous waste is sterilised using microwaves and converted into inert municipal waste, reducing its volume by more than 80% and its weight by 25%. Its environmental impact and operating costs are reduced while ensuring the safety of the operator. As it uses microwave technology, and the vessel is maintained a a very slight negative pressure, Sterilwave technology does not require a separate high pressure steam boiler on site, so there is no risk from excess pressure and no hazardous liquid effluent is produced. Its easy installation requires only 12m² of space per unit for safe treatment of large quantities of ‘on site’ biomedical waste.

Benefits
Full decontamination
Biohazardous waste is sterilised with microwaves (heat it up to 110°C for 20 minutes) and allows microbial inactivation of up to 8log10.
Safe processing
Microwave sterilisation technology does not require pressurisation, and this removes any risk of explosion. Moreover, the microwaves are confined to the inside of the vessel to avoid operator exposure to radiation.
No liquid effluent
The treatment process does not produce any steam or liquid effluent, which means no consumption of water and no need to include an effluent drainage system in its installation.
No segregation
The Sterilwave is suitable for all types of biomedical waste (needles, glass, solids, liquids, etc.)
Easy maintenance
The equipment is built using robust technology. IP connection for diagnostics. Preventive maintenance plan/calendar with alarm.
Reduces weight by 25% and volume by 85%
Biomedical waste is converted to inert waste similar to municipal waste. The dry ground-up waste can also be used as secondary fuel.
Technology
With its automated grinding and microwave sterilisation process contained in a single vessel, the Sterilwave can produce bacterial inactivation (higher than 8log10) of biomedical waste in less than 30 minutes, in complete safety and without intermediate handling. Unlike autoclave technologies, our system does not require the vessel to be pressurised. The Sterilwave converts biomedical waste into dry waste which is inert and completely disinfected, reducing its weight by more than 25% and its volume by 85%. The end product is similar to municipal waste and can then be fed into standard urban waste systems.
