To operate,
the sterilization chamber is positioned for loading and a liner
is inserted into the chamber, then secured with the clamp ring
(the purpose of the liner is to keep the processed materials from
sticking to the chamber, however it is not necessary to operate
the sterilizer). The infectious waste red bags are automatically
or manually loaded into the sterilizer and the chamber liner is
unclamped, tied and bag is tucked into the sterilizer. The chamber
is then rotated into the sterilize position, the load door closed
and the sterilize cycle initiated. The San-I-Pak
first pulls a vacuum within the chamber to remove the air. This
air and any airborne microorganisms are mixed with 307 degrees
F steam. Then, steam enters the sterilization chamber until the
chamber reaches a minimum of 38 lbs. of pressure. After a temperature
of 270 degrees F is achieved, a 30-minute timer is automatically
activated. Within minutes, the chamber will reach its ultimate
temperature of 281 - 284 degrees F. Tests run by various certification
agencies have proven that temperatures in excess of 270 degrees
F., combined with a pre-vacuum cycle, will kill Bacillus Stearothermophilus.
Upon the completion of the sterilization cycle, the system then
vents down and the steam is run through a diffuser where it is
recondensed to water. After the sterilization cycle is completed,
the operator will open the load door and initiate the dump cycle.
The waste within the sterilization chamber is then automatically
discharged to the compaction chamber and compacted into the roll-off
container. One of the unique advantages of the San-I-Pak
system is that it is a dual waste system; you can simultaneously
compact general waste while sterilizing infectious waste. General
waste is dumped directly from the Tilt Truck Cart (or other specified
cart) into the compactor. Once the compactor "start"
button is pressed, the compactor ram pushes the waste into the
roll-off container. When the roll-off container is full, it is
disconnected from the compactor, loaded on the waste hauler truck
and hauled to the landfill or designated final disposal site.

|
- San-I-Pak
has decades of experience in the business and over 600 systems
worldwide with more installations than all competitors combined.
- We design,
build, market, sell, install, service, all of our own equipment.
- Factory
trained service network with a 24-hour response time.
- System
provides "total kill" sterilization of waste. Many
others only disinfect the waste.
- "No
Touch" loading eliminates hazards associated with handling
untreated biohazardous waste.
- Only
automated system combining medical waste treatment and general
refuse disposal into a single compact site.
- Pre
and post vacuum operations to assure total kill efficiency along
with odor management benefits.
- Multiple
chambered systems provide limitless processing and built-in
backup capabilities.
- No toxic
emissions or effluents.
- No exposure
of employees to hazardous chemicals or aerosolized microbes.
- As the
manufacturer, San-I-Pak has the
flexibility to customize the system to meet the needs of each
specific customer.
- State
of the art telecommunication systems (factory monitoring capabilities).
- System
can be easily expanded if waste volumes increase dramatically.
- Shredding
systems available, but not required as part of the treatment
process.
- Efficacy
supported by independent EPA testing.
- Pre-set
cycle parameters assure waste is completely sterilized every
treatment cycle.
- Waste
Management Programs and Waste Consulting Services.
- Patented,
least expensive sharps processing systems.
- Comprehensive
waste consulting and engineering services.
