In November 2020 the Spanish government set up temporary accommodation for 7,000 migrants who had arrived to Canary Islands. On the image we can see 2 Maxim cabins in use at the emergency shelter on the islands.

Portable sanitation continues to prove itself essential in emergency crisis. It is a solution that can be supplied rather quickly, with no need for running water, and for situations that could be temporary but also extended in time. Portable toilets and handwash not only provide safe and private sanitation but they also help contain disease outbreaks, especially relevant during these times when we are facing a global pandemic.

Satellite Industries, the world’s leading manufacturer in the portable sanitation industry, has announced the acquisition of Sanitrax International, the leading manufacturer in vacuum technology for portable sanitation products. The Sanitrax organization will be a part of Satellite’s new Vacuum Products Division and will be the foundation for growth in this rapidly developing industry segment.

Sanitrax developed and sold the world’s first and only patent-pending, retractable, containerized mobile restroom unit, housing multiple self-contained toilets, urinals, washbasins, and showers that rely on proven vacuum flush technology. This technology saves up to 90% of the water used by conventional gravity flushing toilets, and due to its unique retractable design, has also saved customers an average of 50% on logistical costs during transportation.

Vacuum flush technology (like that used in airplane restrooms) offered by Sanitrax fits perfectly in the vision of Satellite, which is the world’s largest supplier of portable toilets, service trucks, restroom trailers and deodorizers. “The full integration of vacuum products through this acquisition fits right into Satellite’s vision for the future and will set the foundation for growth in all of our divisions with this exciting technology” says John Babcock, Satellite’s president.

All of the products in the Sanitrax lineup are based on a retractable concept for compact transportation and are proven to be environmentally friendly, easy to clean and easy to maintain The modular nature of the product allows it to be set up in different configurations making it customizable to customer needs on site, making them a great solution for any event or location where numerous portable toilets are needed. The Sanitrax products are specifically designed for events, festivals, fairs, humanitarian aid, and military operations; places where portable restrooms and sanitation equipment are needed most.

Sanitrax mobile vacuum toilet, sink, urinal, and shower modules were designed around one goal: to improve hygiene, enhance the user experience, reduce shipping costs, and provide a modular, sustainable solution for all mobile restroom needs.

“As the newest division of Satellite Industries, Sanitrax’ customers globally will experience a more local presence and operating within the larger Satellite global structure will allow more focus on product innovation.” Says Marcel Bikker – CEO Sanitrax International BV.
