About Horizontal Autoclave
Horizontal Autoclave
Horizontal autoclave (Cylindrical) Triple wall with
Pressure switch & water cutoff
(Triple walled with Steam Jacket).
The autoclave is mounted on a Mild Steel tabular stand. The autoclave Chamber & steam jacket are made of 14 SWG. Stainless steel, Outer shell which serves as a cover is made of stainless Steel. Steam jacket allows dry sterilization. Hinged door is made of stainless steel. Radial Locking arms prevent opening of the door while Steam is inside the chamber. Autoclave is fitted with neoprene gasket; steam is generated in a separate boiler which is placed below the main body. Multiport valve is provided for Steam, dry sterilization & steam exhaust.
Autoclave is fitted with easily replaceable heaters and water level indicator. Autoclave holds pressure at selected point between 10 to 20psi +/- 3 psi. Pressure control has markings which are approximate; the actual pressure is as shown by the pressure gauge. Hydraulically tested at 40psi. Fitted with safety valves pressure is as shown by the pressure gauge. Hydraulically tested at 40psi. Fitted with safety Valves pressure gauges, steam release valve, steam trap, and one tray.
Advanced Sterilization TechnologyThis autoclave utilizes steam sterilization with rotary spraying, ensuring uniform exposure across all instrument surfaces. The combination of a PT-100 temperature sensor, integrated vacuum system, and programmable microprocessor guarantees precise and consistent sterilization results for demanding applications.
User-Friendly Operation and SafetyEquipped with an LED or LCD touchscreen, the system offers simple program selection and status monitoring. Door interlock safety mechanisms, auto/manual water supply, and an integrated alarm system ensure safe operation. Maintenance access is streamlined with side service panels.
Flexible and Durable DesignThe chamber, constructed from SS304/316 with a mirror polish, resists corrosion and supports adjustable/removable racks and trolleys. External coverings in powder-coated MS or SS and high-density insulation enhance durability. Professional piping and seamless spraying systems maximize performance and longevity.
FAQs of Horizontal Autoclave:
Q: How does the integrated vacuum pump system enhance the sterilization process in the horizontal autoclave?
A: The integrated vacuum pump efficiently removes air from the chamber before steam injection, ensuring optimal steam penetration and uniform temperature distribution, which results in thorough sterilization of all chamber contents.
Q: What benefits do the microprocessor-based programmable controls offer for the user?
A: The microprocessor-based programmable controls allow users to customize and automate sterilization cycles, enhance process accuracy, and offer real-time cycle monitoring via touchscreen or LED/LCD display. This leads to greater flexibility, operational efficiency, and reliable sterilization outcomes.
Q: When should the cycle end alarm and buzzer system be utilized during operation?
A: The audio-visual cycle end alarm and buzzer automatically notify users as soon as a sterilization cycle completes, ensuring timely removal or further handling of items, which is especially important in busy laboratory or clinical settings.
Q: Where can this horizontal autoclave be installed, and what installation considerations are required?
A: This autoclave is intended for on-floor installation in laboratories, healthcare facilities, or industrial sites. Proper installation entails access to a 220V/380V AC power supply, external saturated steam source, water connection, compressed air (6-8 bar), and adequate space for side service panels and safe operation.
Q: What is the process for maintaining or servicing the autoclave?
A: Routine maintenance involves periodic cleaning of chamber surfaces, gasket inspections, and system checks, all made easier by the accessible side service panels. Professional servicing ensures the integrity of the vacuum, control, and spraying systems for continued performance.
Q: How is data recorded and logged during the sterilization process?
A: Cycle parameters such as temperature and time are digitally logged, with options for USB export or automatic printer output. This documentation meets regulatory standards and supports traceability for quality assurance and record-keeping.
Q: What advantages does the adjustable/removable shelving and trolley system provide?
A: Adjustable/removable shelf racks and included trolleys enable flexible loading configurations and easy transfer of instruments, maximizing chamber use while accommodating items of various sizes or shapes.
