| The
San-i-pak Sharps Machine comes
in two versions, each having a different price. One system is designed
to render sterilized sharps Unreusable and the other style
renders sharps unrecognizable. The units have been designed
specifically for sharps materials, utilizing low speed, high torque
cutting. The sophisticated electronics incorporated into the San-I-Pak
Sharps Machine monitors the operation and informs the operator to
the status of the machine.
The Unrecognizable
Sharps Machine accomplishes additional size reduction by utilizing
a patented, perforated rotating drum. Waste that does not fit
through the sizing drum is carried back up and recycled through
the reduction system. To accomplish the additional resizing, we
use two vibrating waste chutes, a sizing drum, the drum rotating
mechanism, a drum back up plate, the elevated side discharge chute
and supporting safety and management electronics
To operate,
the loading door is opened, and sharps containers are placed into
the hopper. Once full, the door is closed, the "start"
button depressed and all further operations are completely automatic.
When warm containers are charged, the normal feed rate is 500
lbs. per hour. If the containers are allowed to cool, this may
be reduced to 150 lbs. Per hour. After completing the process,
the unit automatically shuts off and can be reloaded. The destroyed
sharps will be conveyed into the San-I-Pak compactor, or simply
discharged into carts for easy disposal.
Unlike
other systems, the San-i-pak
Sharps Machine rotates at a very slow speed (5 RPM). This enables
extremely quiet operation as well as virtual elimination of impact
fracturing when the cutters encounter a non-shreddable item. An
additional benefit of the slow speed is the ability to react quickly
to amperage rises and stop the equipment, reducing premature component
failure.
As with
any device designed to render sharps unrecognizable or unreusable,
certain precautions must be taken to insure system componentry.
Elaborate sensing procedures serve to minimize the deterioration
of the reduction system caused by hardened steel bone drills,
reamers, reusable scalpel handles and other specialized, extremely
hard steel. Disposable 300 series stainless steel scissors, hemostats,
scalpel blades, etc., are well suited for processing. Sophisticated
programming is in place to reduce the possibility of component
failure when a non-shreddable item is encountered. The introduction
of such items has a direct effect on component life and should
be avoided.
