The company's major lines of production are categorized as follows:

Medical Waste Autoclaves- Tuttnauer Co. Ltd., an industry leader in steam sterilization technologies, has developed a series of specialized autoclaves just for the treatment of regulated medical waste. In compliance with the EPA, the following important factors were considered in their development:

1. Prior to sterilizing the medical waste, the air and condensate emitting from the autoclave during the first stages of the cycle must also be sterilized.
2. Produce a large capacity autoclave which meets the demand for large, but not necessarily heavy, volume.
3. An autoclave which is user friendly

With the sterilization criteria met, Tuttnauer knew it had to expand its medical waste program. Along with the autoclave, Tuttnauer also offers a custom engineered shredder for the efficient disposal of "sharps" after sterilization. Coupled with a compactor system which can include hauling. Tuttnauer can provide a complete "turn-key" package or partial service according to individual requirements.
