MACS 500

Product catalog summary

Specifications
The MACS 500 is a volume filling hopper with a capacity of 500 liters and a process capacity per cycle of 500 liters or 50–150 kg, depending on the density (0.1–0.3 kg/l). The dimensions are 3,370 mm in height, 2,800 mm in width, and 1,850 mm in depth. It operates on a power consumption of 27 kW on average, with a peak of 40 kW, using a 3-phase, 400 V, 50 Hz–60 Hz power supply. The standard process time is 60 minutes.

Reliability and Financial Benefits
The system ensures consistent operation and security during power outages, independent of external services. Financially, it offers rapid installation and setup, reduces hazardous waste handling fees, and maintains low lifetime operating costs.

Compliance and Environmental Impact
The MACS 500 meets the standards of the Robert Koch Institute. It provides an economic solution for neutralizing germs, viruses, and bacteria on-site, reducing hazardous waste transport costs and CO2 emissions. It supports a circular economy by preventing cross-contamination and enabling efficient treatment of liquids and food.

Requirements
The system emphasizes sustainability through chemical-free operation, energy efficiency, volume reduction, and emission-free performance. It is designed for ergonomic and safe use, with standard utility connections and remote support capabilities. It achieves up to 97% waste volume reduction and offers the best sterilization to energy consumption ratio in its class.

Safety and Emergency Features
Key safety features include an automatic leak test, fast stop and emergency program, guaranteed sterilization with hot steam, and a 0.2 μ microbiological filtering system. The shredder and its parts are sterilized every cycle, and liquids are only released after sterilization confirmation. Technicians do not require a specific educational background.

Processable Types of Waste
The MACS 500 can process sharps, metallic packing (excluding pressure containers), blood bags, and non-risk healthcare waste. It is not suitable for VOCs, chemotherapeutic, and radiological wastes.

Key Data
The autoclave volume is 245 liters, with a noise level below 65 dB. It includes an 80 kW steam generator and an oil-free air compressor. The process involves a pre-vacuum and plateau phase at 136°C and up to 4.5 bar pressure. The theoretical maximum process capacity is 9,000 liters or 2,700 kg per 24 hours.

Life Cycle Assessment
The system offers a volume reduction potential of 262,800 liters per year and a CO2 reduction potential of 11,038 tons over 600 km, with zero CO2 emissions annually.

Dimensions and Connections
The machine's dimensions are 3,370 mm in height, 2,800 mm in width, and 1,850 mm in depth, with a net weight of 4,600 kg. It requires a water inlet of 3/4” and a water outlet of 2”, with potable water at a minimum pressure of 4.5 bar. LAN/WLAN connections are possible.

Consumption and Documentation
Water consumption is up to 200 liters per cycle. Documentation includes pressure, temperature, time, and cycle number recorded every minute during the plateau phase, with data pass via USB and SD card, and network connection capabilities.

Location Requirements
The space requirement is approximately 29 m², with a minimum distance to the wall of 0.5 m and a door-side minimum of 1.20 m. Ventilation requires six air changes per hour, and the equipment load on the floor is approximately 920 kg/m².
