Along the transport route are in the microwave Chamber arranged several microwave transmitters.

Bei der Behandlung von derartigem Infektionsmüll muß höchste Sorge dafür getragen werden, daß keine Infek­ tionskeime oder Bakterien in die Umgebung entweichen können, damit das Infektionsrisiko so gering wie möglich gehalten wird. Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung wird der in der Schleusenkammer z. B. in Säcken eingebrachte Müll zerkleinert. Hierbei kann es zu einer Freigabe von Infektionskeimen kommen. Das Risiko ist allerdings klein gehalten, da in der Schleusenkammer eine Sprühvorrichtung vorgesehen ist, um den Infektionsmüll zu befeuchten. Hierdurch werden die gegebenenfalls freigesetzten Infek­ tionskeime an das versprühte Aerosol gebunden und bei der anschließenden Bestrahlung mit Mikrowellen in der Mikro­ wellenkammer abgetötet.When treating such infectious waste utmost care is taken to ensure that no infection germs or bacteria escape into the environment can keep the risk of infection as low as possible is held. In the known device, the in the lock chamber z. B. brought in bags of garbage crushed. This can lead to a release of Infectious germs come. However, the risk is small held because a spray device in the lock chamber is provided to moisten the infectious waste. As a result, the possibly released Infek germs bound to the sprayed aerosol and at the subsequent irradiation with microwaves in the micro wave chamber killed.

B. fahrbare Behälter sein und können direkt als Sammelbehälter an entsprechenden Sammelstellen im Krankenhaus verwendet werden. Die Behälter sind z. B. mit einem Deckel verschlossen, der während des Sammelns des Infektionsmüll die Freigabe von Infektions­ keimen verhindert. Auch ein Doppelbehälter, etwa entsprechend der DE-OS 33 17 300, ist möglich. Die mit Infektionsmüll angefüllten Behälter werden in die Mikrowellenkammer geschoben, wonach die Mikrowellen­ kammer allseitig verschlossen wird. Anschließend werden die Mikrowellensender eingeschaltet. Ein großer Vorteil wird dann dadurch erreicht, daß der oder die Behälter in der Mikrowellenkammer während der Mikrowellenbestrahlung bewegt werden. Hierdurch wird zuverlässig erreicht, daß alle Bereiche innerhalb des Infektionsmülls mit Mikrowellen bestrahlt werden, so daß der Müll zuverlässig sterilisiert wird. Die Einrichtung zur Bewegung der Behälter kann z. B. ein alternierend bewegtes Förderband oder ein Drehtisch sein.Accordingly, the device has closable containers made of microwave-permeable material in which the infectious waste is collected. The containers can e.g. B. be mobile containers and can be used directly as Collection container at appropriate collection points in the Hospital. The containers are e.g. B. closed with a lid during the Collecting the infectious waste releasing infectious germination prevented. Also a double container, for example according to DE-OS 33 17 300, is possible. The Containers filled with infectious waste are placed in pushed the microwave chamber, after which the microwaves chamber is closed on all sides. Subsequently the microwave transmitters are switched on. A large Advantage is then achieved in that the or the containers in the microwave chamber during the Microwave radiation can be moved. This will reliably achieved that all areas within the infectious waste is irradiated with microwaves, so that the waste is reliably sterilized. The Device for moving the container can, for. B. an alternating conveyor belt or a turntable be.

Sobald der Infektionsmüll sterilisiert ist, wird die Mikrowellenkammer geöffnet und der oder die Behälter entnommen. Der sterilisierte Infektionsmüll kann dann wie normaler Hausmüll weiterbehandelt werden. Ebenso ist es möglich, den Müll nach der Sterilisation zu zerkleinern. As soon as the infectious waste is sterilized the microwave chamber opened and the container or containers taken. The sterilized infectious waste can then be treated like normal household waste. It is also possible to remove the garbage after sterilization to shred.  

Mit der angegebenen Vorrichtung wird es zuverlässig vermieden, daß sich im Laufe der Behandlung des Infek­ tionsmülls bis zur Sterilisation Infektionskeime freisetzen könnten.With the specified device, it becomes reliable avoided that in the course of treatment of the Infek garbage until sterilization could release.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.Further refinements emerge from the subclaims forth.

Die Erfindung ist in einem Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung stellen dar:The invention is based on an exemplary embodiment the drawing explained in more detail. Put in the drawing represents:
