Abstract

PURPOSE:To safely and rapidly treat medical waste, by disinfecting waste contaminated with bacteria or virus to grind the same and subsequently classifying the ground waste into respective components before hermetically sealing the same. CONSTITUTION:Waste such as a used syringe is charged in a boiling kettle 1 and a small amount of water is subsequently added to said kettle and a housing lid is closed to hermetically seal the boiling kettle 1 by a pressure lid 1a. When the switch of an electric heater is closed, the waste is perfectly disinfected under a high temp. and high pressure condition. Subsequently, the boiling kettle 1 is reversed to feed the waste in a crushing means 2. The waste is crushed by blade rollers R1, R2 meshing with each other to be charged in a centrifugal separator 3 as a classifying means and classified into a metal material and other substance. The classified wastes are respectively supplied to a seal means 4 through feed-out pipes 3a, 3b, and metal material and a plastic material are respectively automatically sealed in separate packs. By this method, the waste can be treated safely, certainly and easily in low cost and an infection accident can be certainly prevented.
