Customise the Sterilwave 440 with additional features
Depending on your needs, you can add extra features to your machine. Discover the available options.
Automatic loading system
Transfer of healthcare waste into the treatment chamber using a lifting mechanism. The standard system is specifically designed for the Sterilwave 440 and is compatible with 360-litre containers.
Enhanced cooling system
Cooling capacity increased to 3.4 kW compared with the standard 2.2 kW. Recommended for intensive use (12 hours/day or more), high ambient temperatures, or the treatment of textile or hard waste.
Odour management
Three options available: an ozone generator controlled by the PLC, a condensation system using a cooled plate heat exchanger (12 kW), or a masking gel to be added manually before each cycle (approx. 10 g/cycle).
Biological indicators
Monitoring kit for periodically checking the effectiveness of the decontamination process (strips inoculated with Bacillus atrophaeus spores)
Spare parts and consumables
A personalised list of consumables and spare parts, including their estimated service life and maintenance recommendations, is drawn up based on your annual waste treatment volume.
