A Medical Waste Rotary Kiln is a specialized high-temperature treatment system designed to safely and effectively dispose of hazardous medical waste generated by hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and other healthcare facilities. The core of the system is a robust, refractory-lined, horizontal steel cylinder that rotates slowly, typically at 0.5 to 1.0 rpm, allowing waste to be continuously mixed and exposed to high temperatures as it progresses through the kiln. One of the key advantages of the Medical Waste Rotary Kiln is its ability to handle diverse types of medical waste, including sharps, pathological waste, pharmaceutical residues, and contaminated plastics.
The incineration process is typically divided into two stages: in the primary combustion chamber (the rotary kiln itself), waste undergoes drying, pyrolysis, and initial combustion, converting it into ash and combustible gases; these gases then move to a secondary combustion chamber, where they are exposed to even higher temperatures and excess oxygen to ensure complete oxidation and destruction of any remaining pathogens or hazardous substances.
