ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for converting unconsolidated medical waste into medical waste residue. A horizontal shaft supports revolving cutter blades having teeth which intermesh with teeth on stationary cutter blades. The rotating shaft forces the medical waste into contact with the cutting region between the revolving and stationary teeth to generate medical waste residue, and blades transport the medical waste residue toward a discharge. A first stage cutter can make an initial cut on the unconsolidated medical waste, and a second stage cutter can further reduce the particle size of the medical waste residue. A disinfectant or sterilant can be introduced into contact with the medical waste to convert infectious waste into nonhazardous medical waste residue.
