  • the third embodiment according to FIG. 5 differs from the second in that instead of a chopper 2, a melting chamber 21 is present to crush the bag.
  • the melting chamber 21 may be open or closed. Here it is open at the top and has at the bottom a bottom plate 60, which can be opened by means of a slider 61. It could also be folded instead of the horizontal movement.
  • a hot air fan 23 is mounted in the housing 1 or outside it and makes it possible to heat the melting chamber 1 either sufficiently strong.
  • the chamber must be heated to such an extent that the bag inside it melts and is decontaminated.
  • the melting chamber is thus the decontamination unit for the bag. Typical temperatures are 130 to 200 ° C.
  • Each bag may be individually shredded and then removed via the bottom plate 60 into the drawer 8, or several bags may be collected in the melting chamber and melted together.
  • heating plates or similar means for heating the melting chamber can be used.
  • wet cleaning nozzles 71 lead into the liquid catch basin 5. They introduce a chemical agent into the tank, so that the liquid is already sterilized in the tank. However, it can also be sterilized in a separate basin, which is connected downstream of the liquid catchment basin 5.
  • suitable chemical agents for this purpose are iodine, iodophores, alcohol, formaldehyde, aldehydes, quaternary ammonium compounds, peracids, peroxides and phenols.
  • the fragmented bag falls from the chopper 2 in a disinfecting or cleaning bath 70, from where it passes to the particle collecting container 8, for example by means of the second conveyor 6, which leads through the cleaning bath 70.
  • a disinfecting or cleaning bath 70 In the cleaning bath can use the same chemical means as stated above.
  • a dry antiseptic performed.
  • the liquid to be disposed of flows from poked bags along the angled guide plate 12 on a slant plate 40.
  • the guide plate 12 has a cover leg 120, which covers the slant plate 40.
  • dry cleaning nozzles 72 are arranged, which act through openings or pores of the plate 40, the liquid to be disposed of with a dry cleaning agent.
  • a dry cleaning agent for example, a gas such as ethylene oxide or formaldehyde gas is suitable.
  • the decontaminated liquid is supplied to the end of the plate 40 via a basin or a funnel of the outlet opening 52.
  • the emptied bag is also crushed here on the chopper 2 and in a decontamination chamber 22 decontaminated.
  • it is charged with a gas, wherein the gas container 20 may in turn be mounted in the housing 1 or outside it.
  • the chamber 22 preferably again has a bottom 60, which can be removed by means of a slider 61 or otherwise opened or opened. As a result, the shredded bag enters the particle collecting container 8.
  • the decontamination can also be done with a filled bag and the bag is then subsequently emptied and dismembered.
  • the collected liquid and the fragmented bag are decontaminated separately and with different decontamination agents or methods.
  • the cleaning unit cleans only the dismembered bag or only the still undivided bag or the cleaning unit cleans alternatively or additionally the interior of the still undivided bag.
