In 1978,
California hospitals were confronted with new state waste and
air regulations, which limited waste treatment and disposal options.
A group of Northern California hospitals approached a small, but
highly regarded equipment engineering company, Bromac, with an
idea. The concept was to technologically improve steam sterilization
by enhancing microbial "kill" efficiency and eliminating
the "double handling" of treated waste. The first machine
dubbed "San-I-Pak" was installed
at Tracy Community Hospital in 1978 and Tracy Community Hospital
continues to operate a San-I-Pak System
to this day.
The
success of the first machines installed in California and the
potential demand for such systems in other portions of the United
States prompted Bromac to search for financial and technical assistance.
John Hall, a successful and influential business entrepreneur,
recognized San-I-Pak's potential and
supplied the necessary financial backing and technical expertise
that enabled the company to move forward.
Since
the first installation, San-I-Pak
has continued to develop and expand with system diversification,
which will accommodate any size facility. San-I-Pak
continuously strives to share its decades of manufacturing experience
by working directly with customers to design and manufacture the
simplest and most economical equipment suitable for attaining
specific infectious and general waste equipment needs. By continually
meeting the needs of each facility San-I-Pak
has established itself as the most recognized on-site medical
waste treatment manufacturer in the industry today.
San-I-Pak
is the leader in waste treatment systems and has over 600 installations
throughout the North America, South America, Central America,
Europe, Middle East, New Zealand and Asia. These 600 plus installations
worldwide exceeds the total number of on-site medical waste treatment
systems installed by all San-I-Pak's
competitors combined.
MANUFACTURING
CAPACITY:
San-I-Pak
is located in Tracy, California on a 206,400 square foot parcel,
with 54,500 square feet of available manufacturing space, 10,200
square feet of office and support space and is currently operating
at about 30% of current manufacturing capacity. San-I-Pak
currently is producing 30 units a month.
RESEARCH
& DEVELOPMENT:
San-I-Pak
has introduced, developed, patented and manufactured more waste
management solutions than all other manufactures in the industry
combined. Research and Development expenditures represents 35%
of gross income before taxes for San-I-Pak,
with $685,000.00 on sharps shredding alone over the past six years.
WASTE
MANAGEMENT:
San-I-Pak
has twenty three years of acquired experience in the classification,
segregation, handling, treatment, packaging, transporting and
ultimate disposal, including incineration and land-filling of
all of the total waste streams generated by health care facilities.
With this intensive, long-term experience, San-I-Pak
has assisted, California, the originating place of medical waste
management, followed immediately by several other states..
This contribution
to the understanding of infectious, agricultural, and municipal
waste management has been utilized worldwide. San-I-Pak's
specialty has been proper classification of all these various
types of waste streams, followed by a comprehensive plan of treatment,
then the combined disposal as a single, publicly accepted waste
load.
This experience
includes infectious waste, pathological waste, sharps, chemical
waste, agricultural waste and general waste. We have assisted
nations, states, counties, cities, plus individual institutions
in all aspects of waste management.
