The Sterilwave 440 was approved by the French Ministry of Health in 2012 and allows large institutions such as hospitals and waste collection companies to process up to 800 liters of biomedical waste per hour (88 kg/h*) in complete safety.

Its innovative concept uses a hanging tank and rotating blades to shred all kinds of waste. Biohazardous waste is sterilized using microwaves and converted into inert household waste, reducing its volume by more than 80% and its weight by 25%. This reduces the environmental impact and operating costs, and ensures operator safety. Because the unit uses microwave technology, Sterilwave does not require a steam generator, so there is no risk of overpressure and no liquid effluents. Its simple installation requires only 20 m² of space, which ensures the safe treatment of a large amount of biomedical waste. (*with a density of 0.1 kg/litre)
