Waste deposited in the hopper is mechanically shredded and then falls into the treatment tank. Once the tank is full, a processing cycle can then be started. This occurs automatically following the injection of saturating wet steam which is supplied by an external steam generator (outside process chamber). The temperature achieved is 135°C at 2.3 bar pressure for 20 minutes.

At the end of the cycle, the front door opens automatically and the solid spun waste is released into a container - liquids are drained off via the waste water network .
