What Celitron does
Celitron Medical Technologies Kft is a Hungarian-headquartered industrial manufacturer specializing in steam sterilization and waste treatment equipment for the medical and agricultural sectors. Founded in 2005 and based in Vác, Hungary, the company designs and produces two principal product families: (1) Class B steam sterilizers (autoclaves) under the Azteca A, Azteca AC, and Sting 11B Premium brands, covering capacities from 25-liter tabletop units to 880-liter hospital systems, and (2) the patented Integrated Sterilizer & Shredder (ISS) platform, which combines medical-grade steam sterilization at 121°C (SAL 6log10) with mechanical shredding in a single closed pressure vessel for on-site infectious medical waste treatment. The agricultural extension—ISS AGRI Facility—applies the same core technology to rendering animal by-products and insect biomass into protein meals and oils, with throughput capacities from 10 to 100 tons per day.
The company's technology base rests on patented ISS architecture and thermal hydrolysis processes that achieve 85% pepsin digestibility for feather meal while consuming 80% less steam than conventional rendering. Specialized variants address cannabis waste disposal (ISS 500 CAN), epidemic-response carcass neutralization (Mobile ISS AGRI), and textile sterilization (ISS AC-575). All products comply with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, CE, TÜV, EU Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, and EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745.
Celitron monetizes through one-time capital equipment sales with custom sizing and configuration, supplemented by after-sales service, maintenance contracts, installation, user training, and spare parts. Distribution combines a direct enterprise sales force with a global channel partner network spanning 80+ countries, supported by on-site technical support in local languages. The customer base spans hospitals, clinics, dental and veterinary practices, slaughterhouses, insect farms, airports, cannabis manufacturers, and government health facilities. An affiliated engineering partner, WALDT, provides turnkey factory design and plant integration services for larger industrial projects.
