HISTORY
HISTORY
AMB is a private family group which was established in 1947 to design and produce special machinery
for the extraction industries.

Following the decline of the mining companies and the rise of the environmental sector, AMB moved
into the development of new equipment and machinery to be used for recycling, recovery and
processing of medical waste. By doing this, AMB contributes to maintaining a safe, healthy
environment and promoting sustainable development.

AMB Ecosteryl now designs and manufactures equipment that provide a safe and environmentally
friendly solution to medium and large hospitals as well as service providers for the treatment of
biomedical waste. Ecosteryl products have processed hundreds of millions of kg of biological waste
since its first installation in France.

The company has over 15 years of experience in the commercial treatment of medical waste without
burning.

1. Weighing, handling & loading

 2. Shredding

When the lid of the loading hopper is closed, the waste is gradually pushed to a powerful
shredder by a hydraulic arm. A screen is placed under the shredder to reach a waste size
under 30 mm diameter. The shredder is of the four axes type including an automatic anti-
blocking device reversing of the direction of the operation of the two motors in case of blockage
to avoid an unnecessary maintenance.

The shredded waste falls to the under-shredder hopper where all types of waste are
homogeneous mixed before the decontamination phase.

3. Microwaves

The decontamination starts with the microwaves process. A processing screw in a spiral
design brings the waste into a tube where it is heated up to a temperature of 100°C (212°F) by
microwaves generated by magnetrons. This process lasts about 3 min.

A control system adjusts the operation of the equipment to maintain the desired temperature at
the end of the zone (the microwave power and the screw speed are controlled).

4. Holding, treatment & final output

The waste enters the holding hopper where its temperature is maintained at 100°C (212°F) during
1 hour thanks to electrical resistances.
This formula of 1 hour at 100°C (212°F) combined with microwaves action completely
decontaminates infectious medical waste.
At the end of the process, the waste leaves the equipment through a conveyor (of the spiral type).

A programmable controller with a touch-screen allows the automatic operation, real-time

monitoring, control and storage of the equipment operating parameters.
