Sanitizing Medical Waste Container Washers
Home » Industries » Medical Waste
Engineered for Medical Waste Compliance, Built for Reliability
When it comes to medical waste, cleanliness is not optional. Contaminated containers pose risks to workers, patients, and the environment. Manual washing is labor-intensive and inconsistent, while outsourcing can increase costs and compliance risk.
Better Engineering’s medical waste container washers are engineered to deliver consistent, validated sanitization for sharps bins, reusable plastic containers, and medical transport totes. Each system provides automated washing, rinsing, and sanitizing cycles that meet the strict cleanliness requirements of healthcare and waste treatment operations.
Our tunnel washers and conveyor systems are utilized by hospitals and medical waste treatment facilities that rely on speed, reliability, and verified sanitation performance to maintain safe and efficient operations.
Comprehensive Container Cleaning Solutions
Medical waste facilities process a wide variety of containers, from reusable sharps bins to reusable medical waste containers. Better Engineering’s medical waste container washers and tunnel washer systems are fully automated and built to clean, rinse, sanitize, and dry containers of all sizes with precision and consistency. Every system is designed to meet FDA regulatory expectations while protecting operators and the environment.

Reusable Sharps Containers
Our systems clean, sanitize, and dry reusable sharps containers through automated spray-and-rinse cycles and high-velocity heated blowers. Additionally, our automated decanting system (mechanical or robotics) allows for hands-free removal of sharps lids. Adjustable guide rails, internal spray manifolds, and heat and chemical-based sanitizing ensure complete coverage for consistent, validated results.

Reusable Medical Waste Bins & Totes
Designed for large, reusable containers used in medical waste collection and transport, these container washers efficiently remove solids, residues, and organic matter. Robust filtration systems capture debris, while heated rinse/sanitizing and drying stages prepare containers for safe reuse or redistribution.
