In a Waste Treatment System, the waste must first be shredded. Waste shredding allows the liquid and solid phases to be separated so that liquids can be sterilized separately in the system. By crushing infectious waste, conditions are created that allow steam to penetrate all parts of the waste, bottles, syringes, and all materials in the waste. Infectious waste decontamination autoclave should be designed in such a way that the vapors have the most contact with the shredded waste and the shredded waste does not meet the body of the device.
After the waste is crushed, a more homogeneous composition is formed, which minimizes the risk of sterile error. If hospital waste is shredded and deformed, it can no longer be used and the transmission of diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS to the community is reduced. Also, with the shredding of infectious waste and sharp waste, these medical wastes become more uniform and smaller in volume so that they can be easily transported.
