Every facility is different. Here's where
each model fits.
Healthcare
100L–400L
Hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and large medical clinics. On-site sterilization of infectious and sharps waste eliminates transport risk.
Hospitality
200L–400L
Hotels, cruise ships, and resorts. Manage organic and general waste without refrigerated storage.
Commercial properties
100L–400L
Offices, malls, and small manufacturing. Reduce hauling frequency and convert waste into a sellable commodity.
Military & remote
400L–2000L
Bases, offshore platforms, mining camps. Self-contained processing where third-party pickups aren’t an option.
Municipal
2000L–5000L
Transfer stations and regional hubs. High-volume processing and landfill diversion at community scale.
Industrial
400L–5000L
Industrial manufacturing and international airports. High-volume processing across multiple waste streams.
100L – 400L
Ideal for hospitals and clinics, office and commercial spaces, cruise ships and yachts, hotels, international airports, offshore and mining operations, and military sites.

Designed for uptime. Built for simplicity.
Low maintenance by design
Purely mechanical system. On-site training and a user manual cover most routine maintenance. The key wear part — the rotary blade — is replaceable on site. No high-pressure vessels means fewer inspection requirements.
24/7 remote diagnostics
Every model ships with remote connectivity. Manufacturer engineers run real-time diagnostics, and firmware updates are delivered remotely..
Room requirements
Ventilation of 10 air changes per hour, an operating temperature of 6°C to 45°C, and plumbing connections for cooling and condensate.
CanConvert provides dedicated Canadian service support, including installation, training, spare parts, and annual maintenance contracts.
