• Triple walled Horizontal Autoclaves is ideal tool for Laboratories, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Agricultural R&D; labs etc, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage Industries and Institutions.
• Suitable for Sterilizing hospital dressings, linen, rubber, plastic goods, surgical instruments, glassware, utensils etc.
SALIENT FEATURES & CONSTRUCTION : -
These Auto clave's work on the principle of downward displacement of air which is the most economical method of obtaining sterilization.
Triple walled with steam jacket and separate boiler is made up of Heavy gauge S.S. Sheet (304 grade) argon-arc welded.
Whole unit horizontally mounted on a sturdy, heavy M.S. duly painted or Stainless steel tubular stand.
Lid (single piece door) made of stainless steel tightened by Radial Locking System which cannot be opened when under pressure.
The self-locking device automatically disengages the thread mechanism when the sterilizer is under pressure to preclude any eventuality of accident
Sealing of Lid by Neoprene Rubber Gasket.
Sterilization cycle is controlled by single point multi port valve fitted at front top. Pressure gauges are fitted to read jacket &
chamber pressure on the top A moisture trap is fitted in the chamber discharge line to absorb the condensate automatically to prevent moistening in the chamber.
Chamber Insulated by Mineral/Glass Wool to minimize the heat losses and is covered by polished stainless steel sheet.
Fitted with pressure gauge, safety valve and steam release valve.
Fitted with plug screen to prevent the discharge line from choking.
Sterilizing Temperature up to 1340C.
Sterilizing pressure: 1.2 to 1.5 kg/cm2 (15 psi to 22psi)
Hydraulically Tested up to 40 psi.
Fitted with Automatic Vacuum Breaker to break the vacuum in case of formation of vacuum due to steam condensation.
Superior Chamber DesignThe sterilizer boasts a mirror-polished stainless steel inner chamber (400 mm x 950 mm) with a generous 78-liter capacity. Paired with advanced glass wool insulation, these features minimize heat loss while ensuring thorough sterilization, making the unit ideal for laboratories and medical facilities requiring reliable and consistent performance.
Comprehensive Safety MechanismsUser safety is prioritized via a radial locking lid system, pressure release valve, and automatic low water cut-off. These core features work together to prevent accidental operation under unsafe conditions and help maintain a safe operating environment in every use.
Efficient and Accurate SterilizationThe sterilizer operates at 121C to 134C with a 4 kW immersion heater, maintaining accuracy up to 100%%. Its mechanical timer and audible alarm ensure precise cycle control, while both automatic and manual steam release options enhance workflow flexibility for users in demanding clinical, research, or industrial environments.
FAQs of HORIZONTAL CYLINDRICAL STEAM STERLIZER:
Q: How does the radial locking system enhance the safety of the sterilizer?
A: The radial locking system secures the sterilizers door firmly, preventing accidental opening during operation. This not only maintains chamber pressure but also safeguards users from steam exposure and related hazards during the sterilization process.
Q: What is the typical sterilization cycle time, and how can it be monitored?
A: The standard sterilization cycle runs for 15 to 30 minutes. You can monitor and control the cycle duration using the mechanical timer with an audible alarm, which notifies users when the process is complete.
Q: When should the water level be checked, and how does the low water cut-off work?
A: The water level should be checked before starting each cycle. The automatic low water cut-off feature will halt operation if the water falls below the required level, preventing heater damage and ensuring reliable sterilization every cycle.
Q: Where can this sterilizer be most effectively used?
A: This model is suitable for medical facilities, research institutions, hospitals, and microbiology laboratories. Its robust build, safety measures, and capacity make it an excellent choice in settings requiring frequent and reliable instrument sterilization.
Q: What process does the sterilizer follow to ensure effective sterilization?
A: The unit builds pressure up to 1520 psi and raises chamber temperature to 121C134C. Steam penetrates the load, eliminating microorganisms. The process concludes with either automatic or manual steam release, guaranteeing thoroughly sterilized instruments.
Q: How is the unit installed and powered?
A: Installation requires only a single-phase electric connection (220240 V AC, 50 Hz). Its compact dimensions and 120 kg weight also allow for straightforward placement in most laboratory or clinical settings.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this horizontal cylindrical steam sterilizer?
A: Key benefits include fast and efficient sterilization, minimized heat loss, user safety through advanced features, precise operation with 100%% accuracy, and compliance with ISI and CE standardsmaking it a dependable choice for routine sterilization tasks.
