Integrated Autoclave with Shredder – IAO Series

Products Details

Integrated Autoclave with Shredder – IAO Series is specially designed for on-site medical waste treatment in hospitals, healthcare centers, laboratories, and other medical facilities. It provides a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for treating infectious and hazardous medical waste directly at the point where the waste is generated.

Hospital medical waste treatment requires reliable systems that can prevent infection risks, reduce manual handling, and ensure compliance with healthcare and environmental regulations. The IAO Series is developed to meet these needs by combining pre-shredding and high-pressure steam sterilization in one integrated unit. With this design, hospitals can process infectious waste on-site and reduce dependence on external transportation and centralized disposal services.

The IAO Series uses a built-in heavy-duty double-shaft shredder installed inside the autoclave. During the treatment process, waste is shredded before sterilization. This step breaks sealed or closed waste bags and containers, increases the waste surface area, and allows steam to penetrate more effectively into the material. As a result, the system achieves more uniform sterilization performance and reliable pathogen destruction.

The autoclave operates under high-temperature and high-pressure saturated steam conditions, with adjustable working parameters of 134–138°C and 2–3 bar. The system achieves STAATT IV performance and 99.999999% microbial inactivation (8Log10), ensuring that infectious waste is effectively neutralized before final disposal. After treatment, waste volume is reduced by approximately 80%, depending on the waste type, which helps lower disposal volume and related handling costs.

The IAO Series is designed for fully automatic treatment operation, which helps reduce manual handling and operator exposure to untreated infectious waste. This improves hospital safety and simplifies the internal waste management process. The system is especially suitable for hospitals and healthcare centers that need a clean, practical, and compliant on-site treatment solution.

As a non-incineration medical waste treatment system, the IAO Series avoids harmful combustion-related emissions such as dioxins and furans. The fully enclosed design, combined with efficient deodorization performance, provides strong odor control and makes the machine suitable for installation in hospital environments where cleanliness and air quality are important.

The machine is built with a robust mechanical structure, a proven heavy-duty shredder, and corrosion-resistant design to handle chloride-rich medical waste. This ensures reliable long-term performance in demanding hospital conditions while reducing maintenance requirements. Optional remote monitoring is also available, allowing staff to observe and manage the treatment process more conveniently.

With its compact design, strong sterilization performance, waste volume reduction capability, and easy automatic operation, the Integrated Autoclave with Shredder – IAO Series is an ideal solution for hospitals and healthcare facilities seeking safe and effective on-site medical waste treatment.

How does the Integrated Autoclave with Shredder work?

The Integrated Autoclave with Shredder – IAO Series works by combining pre-shredding and steam sterilization in a single enclosed machine. Medical waste is first loaded into the system, where the built-in double-shaft shredder breaks the waste into smaller pieces. This shredding process opens waste bags, sealed items, and closed containers, allowing steam to contact the waste more evenly.

After shredding, the waste is sterilized inside the autoclave chamber under 134–138°C temperature and 2–3 bar pressure. The saturated steam penetrates the waste and destroys harmful microorganisms. With sterilization performance reaching STAATT IV and 8Log10 microbial inactivation, the system ensures effective treatment of infectious waste.

At the end of the cycle, the waste is sterilized and its volume is significantly reduced. The treated waste can then be disposed of as general domestic waste according to local regulations and disposal practices.
