The GM350 is the smallest unit in our GM series — a range built for general and emergency medical waste use at health clinics, vaccination centres, hospitals, and laboratories. Unlike the MP series’ front-loading design, the GM range is top-loaded, and it’s specifically recommended for higher-volume, bulkier waste streams like surgical dressings, bed linen, and mattresses, not just compact clinical bags.
It shares the same combustion fundamentals as the rest of Addfield’s medical range — a triple-layered refractory chamber and a secondary chamber holding a two-second gas retention time at 1,100°C — but its top-loading configuration makes it easier to handle larger, more awkwardly shaped items than a front door typically allows.

- Facilities generating surgical dressings, linen, or mattress waste alongside standard clinical waste
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the GM350 top-loading instead of front-loading like the MP100?
Top loading makes it easier to handle bulkier, more awkwardly shaped items — surgical dressings, bed linen, mattresses — that don’t fit as easily through a front door designed for bagged clinical waste.
Is the GM350 meant for emergency or temporary use only?
The GM range is described as general/emergency-usage, but that doesn’t mean it’s limited to short-term deployment — many facilities run GM-series units as their standard ongoing equipment.
What's the difference between the GM350 and the MP100, given they're similar capacity?
The MP100 is front-loading and specifically hot-hearth heated for high-moisture waste; the GM350 is top-loading and suited to bulkier, higher-volume waste items. The right choice depends on what your facility actually generates day to day.
