HICLOVER TS50 PLC: Supporting NEPI’s Mission for Safe Healthcare Waste Disposal in Afghanistan
The Urgent Need for Safe Immunization Waste Treatment
Afghanistan’s National Expanded Program for Immunization (NEPI) faces an ongoing challenge: how to manage the growing volume of sharps, glass vials, coolant packs, and packaging generated by nationwide vaccination campaigns. A UNICEF 2023 assessment revealed gaps in training, inadequate use of personal protective equipment, and widespread reliance on unsafe practices like open burning or shallow burial.
To address these issues, the NEPI initiative plans to install five environmentally sustainable incinerators across Kandahar, Nangarhar, Balkh, Herat, and Paktya. Each hub will serve as a regional treatment site, ensuring proper destruction of immunization waste for hundreds of facilities, while protecting health workers and surrounding communities.
HICLOVER is growing brand for environmental protection field, and market share with most of Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia countries and part of North America, Europe territory. We are trusted partner for governmental organizations, non-profit organizations, international contractors, logistics organizations, military, pet cremation business owners, etc. We have export experience more than 40 countries, including war zone like Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, South Sudan.

Why the HICLOVER TS50 PLC Fits Afghanistan’s Requirements
The HICLOVER TS50 PLC incinerator is designed to align with UNICEF’s technical criteria and the realities of Afghanistan’s healthcare infrastructure.
Core Features
-
Capacity: Handles 30–50 kg/hour, ideal for regional immunization waste loads.
-
Dual Chamber Combustion: Primary chamber operates at 800–1000°C, while the secondary chamber reaches 1100–1300°C with ≥2 seconds residence time, ensuring complete pathogen destruction.
-
PLC Automatic Control: Provides digital monitoring of temperature, time cycles, and alarms, reducing risks of operator error.
-
Safety Systems: Flame arrestors, shut-off valves, fire-resistant insulation, and a diesel leak detection system safeguard operations.
-
Durability: Lined with 65% Al₂O₃ refractory bricks, rated at 1750°C, reinforced with ceramic fiber and steel fiber to resist prolonged high temperatures.
Site Conditions and Practical Deployment
UNICEF has already identified installation sites with dimensions of 2.5 × 4 m, suitable flooring tolerances (4–5 tons), and dedicated storage areas for up to 30 days of waste. The compact footprint of the TS50 PLC (230 × 130 × 155 cm, ~5000 kg) makes it a perfect fit for these facilities without costly modifications.
Chimney height requirements are addressed with a 6 m insulated mild steel stack, and optional wet scrubber systems can be added to reduce acid gases or visible smoke.
Operator Safety and Maintenance Support
HICLOVER goes beyond basic specifications by equipping each unit with:
-
Three full PPE kits: Heat-resistant aprons, gloves, and boots.
-
Two years of spare parts: Covering burners, thermocouples, and seals for reliable operation.
-
Automatic Protection Operator (APO): Ensures automatic shutdown, re-start, and cooling to safeguard workers.
-
Training support: Operators receive on-site or remote instruction, enabling facilities to manage their own systems independently.
Expected Outcomes for Afghanistan
Deploying the TS50 PLC incinerators will:
-
Eliminate unsafe practices like open burning and burial.
-
Protect health workers through automation, PPE, and safer fuel systems.
-
Provide a scalable model for healthcare waste management in other provinces.
-
Enhance environmental compliance while keeping operational costs manageable through features like Intelligent Save Fuel Function and HTR (High Temperature Retention).
