Vortex Air

Vernacare's hospital macerators are designed to process single-use medical pulp products and human waste. The Vortex Air is the latest installment in our range of hospital macerators, featuring the newest in macerator technology, offering superior diagnostics, sustainable design, and superior performance.

The benefits of the Vortex Air macerator are multiple:

• The standard cycle time is 120 seconds. This limits the consumption of electricity.
• The water consumption is 23 liters per standard cycle. Vernacare macerators use significantly less water than bedpan washers. In addition to this, the Vortex Air only requires cold water to process pulp products resulting in less energy consumption per product.
• Eliminates cross infection from reusable bedpans.
• Zero aerosols released during disposal, eradicates risk of transmission via droplets.
• Hands-free system reduces number of potentially infected touch points.
• Upon discharge, when crushed and disintegrated by the macerator, the Vernacare pulp decomposes into particles, 95% of which are less than 1mm and are easily transported by the sewage pipes to the wastewater treatment plants (which is the same consistency as toilet paper). Studies have proven our discharge flow rate is 4x faster than any of our competitors.

The power of SmartFlow™

Designed to ensure a fast, even flow, SmartFlow™ is a unique maceration system that ensures waste is only released to drain once maximum water dispersion has been achieved. Through continued action inside the sealed drum, the particle size is minimized, ensuring no dry or bulky material can pass into the pipework. SmartFlow™ allows Vernacare machines to discharge waste 4 times faster than alternative macerators available on the market. It’s the power of SmartFlow™
