User-friendly
The Tonto’s opening is on its front and is positioned at an ergonomic height. It is always ready for use. The Tonto’s hatch is connected to a pedal, so minimum contact is required.
Hygienic
The entire process revolves around hygiene. After each use, the machine is automatically cleaned under high pressure (5 bar).
Self-cleaning and disinfection
As a default the Tonto will automatically start a self-cleaning session daily. Additionally disinfection takes place on a regular basis. The cleaning and disinfection intervals can be adjusted in co-operation with the customer.

Technology

Location and communication
Through a network, each Tonto knows where it is located in the building, automatically adjusting its settings accordingly. The Tonto communicates with the data centre and records all operations, so that the hospital has immediate insights into the number of times materials are processed and the performance of all of the Tontos. Any malfunctions are automatically communicated to the immediate breakdown service.
Plug & Play
In the event of a malfunction, the Tonto can easily be replaced. This means nurses are not distracted from their primary tasks any more than absolutely necessary. A docking station in combination with a special pallet truck has been developed to facilitate easy and safe replacement.
Hygienic
The waste is ground in a closed drum. The Tonto is automatically cleaned after each use and periodically disinfected.
The most important features
Its pedal makes the Tonto easy to use. The opening is located at an ergonomic height, making it easy for staff to dispose of waste.
The waste is ground in a closed drum. The Tonto is automatically cleaned after each use and periodically disinfected.
The safe design ensures that users never come into contact with the blades inside the Tonto. The machine automatically shuts down if overloaded.
We monitor our Tontos externally. In the event of a technical malfunction, the Tonto can be dismounted from the docking station very easily, to be replaced by a back-up Tonto.
Tontos can be fitted with a WiFi module on request
