Pulp macerators are machines which pulverise and dispose of single-use medical pulp containers
and human waste.The technology of choice for thousands of healthcare facilities around the world,
a macerator is a fast and easy to use human waste disposal solution, providing safe and
efficient alternative to washing bedpans by hand, or using a washer disinfector.
Macerators are opened and closed using hands-free technology. This allows a pulp container - along with its
contents – to be placed inside the machine without the need to wash or dispose of items elsewhere. Once the lid
is closed, the maceration cycle will be complete in as little as 65 seconds – giving your staff much more time to care
for your patients or care home residents.
During the maceration process, the pulp container and its contents are quickly and effectively pulverised into a
watery slurry, using high speed rotating blades. The slurry is discharged into the main sewage system, similar to a
conventional toilet.
