ABSTRACT:
Infectious wastes from hospitals or other sources are sterilized in a chamber which is pivotable between a waste loading orientation, a sterilizing orientation and a waste dumping orientation. The chamber is attached to a framework by first and second pairs of pivot arms which are coupled to the sides of the chamber at spaced apart locations. An actuator swings the first arms upward to bring the chamber to the loading orientation and swings the arms downward to turn the chamber to the dumping orientation. The pivot arm arrangement causes the chamber as a whole to lower as it turns towards the loading orientation and to rise as it turns towards the dumping orientation. This reduces the amount of lifting of materials that is required during loading operations while also providing adequate clearance under the chamber for dumping operations. In one form, the chamber is translatable horizontally between a waste sterilizing location at which a chamber sealing door is situated and a loading and dumping location situated over a waste compactor intake compartment. A plurality of the chambers may be in side-by-side relationship and be loaded, operated and dumped at different times thereby enabling a continuous inflow of waste material.
