The vacuum toilet that’s easy to maintain.
The technology of vacuum toilet systems has not changed much in the past 15 years. Existing toilets on trains do the job but leave a lot of room for improvement (and often unpleasant smells as well). That is why we thought it was time to rethink the whole system and flush out the old ways of thinking about onboard sanitary ware. Supported by the Business Development and Technology Transfer Corporation of Schleswig-Holstein, we brought together all the learnings which had been accumulated over the last decades.
