Discuss your requirements

Designed for medium-sized hospitals and care networks

The Sterilwave 250 combines shredding and microwave treatment in one closed vessel. The fully electric process requires no steam pressure or chemicals and produces no liquid effluent during treatment.

Treat on site

Shorten the residence time and internal journey of untreated infectious waste.

Reduce volume

Shredding makes the output unrecognisable and substantially reduces its volume.

Control the process

Manage treatment timing, capacity and traceability within your own operation.

*Capacity is based on a reference waste density of 0.1 kg/L. Actual throughput depends on waste composition and operating conditions. Available Sterilwave product data form the basis for these specifications. The manufacturer may update them.

Capacity is only the starting point

For healthcare institutions and laboratories, SimpleComply validates waste composition, peaks, workflow, site services and local requirements before recommending a model. This prevents undercapacity, overinvestment and avoidable implementation risk.
