1. WASTE LOADING
The waste is loaded inside the chamber by hand in plastic bags and the lid is closed.
2. CRUSHING
The rotor starts and accelerates gradually, as the material is finely ground and the temperature rises quickly to about 100 °C.
3. EVAPORATION
The heat generated by friction in the material causes the evaporation of the waste moisture and the temperature remains firm at around 100°C.
4. SUPERHEATING
Once all the moisture has been eliminated, the frictional heat causes the temperature of the material to increase to 151°C.
5. STERILIZATION OR PASTORIZATION
The temperature of the material is held firm at 151°C for 3 minutes, under moist heat conditions through controlled water dosage.
6. COOLING DOWN
The waste is sprinkled with water in order to lower the temperature of the material to about 100°C. A vacuum pump then lowers the temperature further down to 60°C adiabatically.
7. UNLOADING IN VACUUM BAG
The treated material is unloaded by centrifugal force through the opening of a servo-operated valve positioned at the bottom of the treatment chamber.
