Brief Discussion on Medical Waste Treatment

Lee 2023-03-27

Medical waste refers to waste generated by medical institutions in medical, preventive, health care, and other related activities that has direct or indirect infectivity, toxicity, and other hazards, specifically including infectious, pathological, injurious, pharmaceutical, and chemical waste, such as used cotton balls, gauze, tape, wastewater, disposable medical devices, postoperative waste, expired drugs, and so on. 

Medical Waste

If medical waste is not managed and allowed to flow into nature, it will affect the ecological environment, cause the spread of epidemics, and threaten the safety of public life. Therefore, the entire process of generating, classifying, packaging, collecting, transporting, storing, and disposing medical waste must be under strict control, especially through safe disposal. 

Currently, the treatment methods for medical waste include rotary kiln incineration, pyrolysis incineration, high-temperature steam, microwave disinfection, chemical disinfection, sanitary landfill, etc. Direct filling and recycling are strictly prohibited. 

In these processing applications, the crushing process is an essential and key step that achieves twice the result with half the effort. So how does the fragmentation process proceed? Just put the medical waste into the crushing bin of a dedicated medical waste crusher, and the crusher will utilize the shearing action of the adjacent moving blade edges and the tearing action of the moving blade teeth to crush the medical waste to a smaller size, achieving the destruction and volume reduction of the medical waste, which will improve the disposal efficiency and effect when sent to the rear end for harmless disposal. 

Does it sound simple? Of course, the prerequisite is to purchase a suitable medical waste crusher. GEP's GD series double-shaft Shredder is a very reliable choice. The raw material is imported alloy steel, with high wear resistance and moderate toughness; The processing equipment is a high-precision machine tool that can improve the mechanical performance of the product and extend its service life; Technical personnel are also skilled and conscientious. If you have higher requirements for the size of medical waste, there are also GS series fine shredder available, with the discharge size concentrated in the range of 30-120mm.

With the technological reform and equipment update, the technology and quality of medical waste disposal equipment will continue to improve. Similarly, GEP's dedicated medical waste crusher will continue to be optimized to meet the needs of medical waste treatment, improving treatment efficiency and effectiveness while reducing treatment costs.
