About MACS
MACS - Machine Autoclave Cutting Sterilisation is a mechanical engineering company headquartered in Vienna that develops high-end autoclaves with thermal steam sterilisation and fully integrated mechanical shredding. The systems convert medical hazardous waste, infectious waste, organic residues and liquids into non-hazardous residual waste – chemical-free, with volume reduction of up to 97% and certified sterilisation up to SAL 10⁻⁴⁸ in accordance with Robert Koch Institute requirements. The portfolio comprises the Compact Series for hospitals and laboratories with waste volumes up to 1,000 kg per day, as well as the Industrial Series for disposal and recycling operations from 1 t per day. The special systems are manufactured together with the sister company and manufacturing partner ERMAFA Sondermaschinen- und Anlagenbau in Chemnitz. MACS delivers turnkey solutions from planning to operational handover, including commissioning, operator training, preventive maintenance and 24/7 remote support, and delivers worldwide.
