French term or phrase: Banaliseur vertical
I'm having problems trying to find a reliable ref. source for the above phrase. Unfortunately I can't give you anymore context than the following:

Banaliseur vertical (grand autoclave avec broyeur intégré)

as it appears in list format, forming part of a document listing the equipment for the construction of a new laboratory.

Have a feeling it may be referring to an infectious waste shredder but any ideas welcomed - TIA:)

I suppose a more complete answer would be...
"Large (waste management) autoclave with integrated shredder/crusher"

Thanks for your input - although I didn't use your exact term in the end but you did set me on the right track. I ended up using Vertical Steriliser as I found a definition in French for Banaliseur which equated to the same thing as an autoclave (steam steriliser for infectious waste) and as the term autoclave was already mentioned in the text in brackets, I decided to differentiate by using the word "steriliser"
