Safe and Environmentally-Friendly Disposal of Microbiological Waste Every day, thousands of tonnes of microbiological waste are produced – in hospitals, private clinics, doctor’s surgeries and laboratories across the globe. The growing use of disposable products in this field is also leading to a rapid increase in infectious waste. What can be done with such enormous quantities of dangerous waste matter? New responses to this challenge are needed. The traditional solution: incineration Vast quantities of infectious waste – in particular in developing countries – are still dealt with by means of...

christof industries Master Plan for Microbiological Waste Disposal • Unique combination of steam and microwave • No chemicals • Compact construction environmentally friendly, efficient Certificated by Robert Koch Institute Berlin Hospitals Laboratories Hygiene facilities Nursing homes • Volume reduction (shredTion) • Safe

sinTion: Maximum Safety thanks to Unique Technology The idea of sterilising and disinfecting medical waste directly on site is not new. It is sinTion’s patented technology that sets it apart from all other devices on the market. The combination of saturated vapour and microwaves not only ensures maximum effectiveness in less time, but also makes higher rates of throughput possible. This – combined with the device’s ease of use – is what gives it a decisive edge in real-world applications. The sinTion process in three steps sinTion’s unique patented solution ensures maximum safety at every stage...

christof industries shredTion: Efficient Shredding of Disinfected Waste shredTion is the cost-effective solution for the shredding of disinfected medical waste. The device is simple to install, efficient, and easy to use. It can be combined with sinTion (1 shredTion for 1-3 sinTion devices), reduces waste to granules and thus helps to reduce the volume of waste significantly. Features • Cost-saving volume reduction of disinfected medical waste • Increased throughput through two separate drives • Easy operation • Automatically controlled waste intake • Low speed operation of 25 rotations/minute...

External Waste Disposal – the Wastecontainer Many hospitals and clinics do not have the space to carry out the correct disposal of infectious waste in-house. Christof Industries’ Wastecontainer provides the ideal solution for such a situation: a fully equipped, compact container (6 m x 2.4 m) containing a combined sinTion and shredTion, by means of which all waste can be sterilised, disinfected, shredded and subsequently disposed of. This solution is also easy for aid organisations, disaster response services, the military, etc. to implement, providing a highly mobile unit suitable for rapid...
