The Pyrojin medical waste batch pyrolysis plant is intended for compatible, segregated medical-waste streams. Final treatment temperature, residence time, containment, off-gas controls and validation criteria must be set from the waste classification and local regulations. This page is not a substitute for a site-specific medical-waste compliance review.

  1. Segregated medical waste is loaded through a fully sealed feeding system that keeps it from contacting air or personnel.
  2. The chamber is sealed and heated indirectly in a high-temperature, low-oxygen environment, so the flame never contacts the waste.
  3. The ash residue is discharged through an automated, enclosed slag-discharge system, avoiding manual exposure.
  4. Flue gas passes through a spray tower for acid-base neutralisation (desulphurisation), then an adsorption tower, before discharge under the project's permitted limits.

Series capacity covers 1-15 t/d; PB-10/12/15 are the three standard models. Main reactor: horizontal rotation at 0.4 rpm, circulating-water cooling, external gear transmission, noise ≤85 dB, installation footprint approx. 35 m × 20 m, 4-6 operators per shift.

  • Combustible gas - recycled to heat the chamber, lowering operating cost.

Key Equipment Features

  • Fully sealed feeding and automated ash discharge to minimise manual exposure.
  • Indirect heating for uniform temperature control and longer reactor life (extended lifespan).
  • Low investment cost and compact footprint for fast payback.
  • External gear-ring drive for quiet, stable rotation.
  • Combustible gas recycling for lower fuel consumption.
  • Slight negative pressure with automatic submerged-arc welding and ultrasonic NDT for safety.
  • Multi-furnace tandem operation to reduce heat loss.
  • Multi-stage flue-gas purification for acid neutralisation and dust removal.

Batch vs Continuous Pyrolysis

Scale≈3,000 t/year≥10,000 t/year
OperationOne furnace per day24/7

FeedstockSegregated medical waste batchesPre-shredded mixed medical waste

Choose batch for smaller medical-waste volumes and a simpler, sealed-batch system; choose continuous for high-volume, round-the-clock throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What medical waste can be processed? Segregated infectious waste such as syringes and PPE; the plant is designed for contained, high-temperature treatment.
  • What is the delivery time? The delivery schedule and departure port are confirmed in the commercial quotation.
  • What payment methods do you accept? Mainly T/T; other methods on request.
  • Are you a factory or a trading company? We operate our own factory in Shangqiu, Henan, China.
  • Do you provide installation support? Installation, commissioning, training, warranty and maintenance support are defined in the supply contract.
  • What is the capacity? Standard PB-10/12/15 models cover 10/12/15 t/day (1-15 t/d range); capacity can be customised.
  • What information do I need for a quote? Waste type, daily volume, project location and target outputs.

Batch medical waste treatment

Confirm waste classification and compliance boundaries

Medical waste equipment selection requires a defined waste classification, segregation plan and local compliance review. The batch line must address loading, contained treatment, off-gas control, residue handling and documented acceptance criteria.
