1. Feeding: The feed hatch automatically opens, and medical waste from the transfer container is poured into the loading port. The hatch cover then closes automatically. 2. Shredding: The medical waste in the loading bin is shredded by the crusher and then enters the sterilization tank. 3. Steam Sterilization: After shredding is completed, high-temperature steam is supplied to rapidly heat the medical waste both internally and externally, achieving the purpose of quick disinfection and sterilization. The steam temperature is ≥135°C, and the sterilization time is ≥45 minutes. 4. Cooling: After sterilization, cold water is introduced to cool the sterilized medical waste while simultaneously cleaning the entire inner pot wall of the container. 5. Drainage: The drainage valve is opened to discharge the cooling water. 6. Post-Vacuum Dehydration/Cooling: A vacuum pump is used to create a vacuum throughout the container, dehydrating and further cooling the medical waste after sterilization and initial cooling. 7. Unloading: The unloading door is opened to remove the sterilized residue, which is discharged into a waste receiving container via an automatic tipping device.
