CAUTION: Operators must wear gloves and safety glasses while operating unit.
CAPACITY
One MediBurn30 is capable of disposing of 10.5 cubic feet (.030 cubic meters)
of medical waste per load. Since there is a broad range of densities in waste
materials, the actual amount may vary. The waste is reduced to approximately
5% of its original volume. Ash is removed by means of a special rake (supplied
with the unit) and can be emptied directly into appropriate containers.
HOOK-UP
Electrical: In some cases, plugs may have to be installed on the end of the wires
extending from the unit to be compatible with local electrical fittings.
Fuel: There are two options for the supply of diesel to the unit:
Gravity-fed system: A large fuel tank supplies the unit. The bottom of the
tank should be higher than the top of the burner on the secondary chamber.
Mounted tank: Fuel supply is mounted under the unit with a fuel pump and
return line.
CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
The burn times are adjusted using the UP and DOWN arrows on the controller
located on the control panel (see Page 7). When the cycle time is chosen, push
the START button and the MediBurn30 will begin its operating cycle. To change
the cycle time, push the STOP button and change the cycle time. Then restart
the unit.
COMPLETE CYCLE
Unit is switched on, burn chamber door will lock and the 30-second purge
begins (fans only).
7-minute pre-heat (secondary chamber burner fires and begins the pre-heat
process).
Burn cycle begins.
After the firing cycle is complete, blowers in both primary and secondary
chambers blow cool air until the temperature of the unit is 300 degrees
Celsius. If the temperature rises again, blowers will be activated cyclically
until the temperature remains below 300 degrees Celsius.
OPERATING TEMPERATURES
Temperature readouts are visible on the control panel. The unit is designed to
preheat the secondary chamber for 7 minutes before incineration begins in the
primary chamber. Exhaust temperatures are automatically controlled to range
from 1000 degrees Celsius to 1025 degrees Celsius during the burn cycle.
Lower temperatures noted during operation indicate that the materials in the
batch load have been incinerated.
