How It Works

  1. 1

    Respectful handling of the decedent

    The inner perforated cradle can be hoisted out of the hydrolytic chamber allowing for the decedent to be carefully loaded into the cradle bottom from a work platform or gurney. The cradle lid is attached and the secure body and cradle are hoisted and lowered back into the chamber. The body can be weighed prior or during hoisting with a load cell configured to the operator’s choice of hoist.

  2. 2

    Short 4-hour process cycle

    After securing the cradle spindles within the chamber the lid is closed and secured. A volume of water and liquid potassium hydroxide is added based on body weight . Internal immersion heaters bring the temperature up to 200F and the process starts with a gentle “swish” rocking pattern.

  3. 3

    Cooling and pH adjustment

    When the cycle is complete the liquid bi-product is cooled with our proprietary heat recovery system and the resulting warm water is stored for the next cycle. pH is adjusted with acid injection and the liquid bi-product is then discharged from the main chamber , passing through a filtration system to capture fine bone remains.

  4. 4

    Clean, rinse and removal

    The system proceeds through the soap wash/rinse cycle ensuring the bone remains and the equipment are clean. The cradle can be lifted free of the chamber to allow for easy recovery of the solid bone remains from the bottom portion of the cradle. Operators also have the option to simply remove the top to the cradle to access the bones remains while still in the system.
