State-of-the-Art Design and ConstructionBuilt from highly polished 304-grade stainless steel, the 180-litre autoclave ensures high corrosion resistance and hygiene. The floor-standing, portable design with castor wheels offers mobility and flexibility for installation in diverse settings, while glass wool insulation minimizes heat loss and energy consumption.
Advanced Control and User SafetyA digital LED display, microprocessor-based controller, and automatic water level indicator with alarms allow straightforward monitoring and adjustment of sterilization parameters. Safety mechanisms such as automatic pressure cut-off, low-water protection, and secure radial locking offer assurance during operation.
Efficient and Versatile SterilizationProgrammable sterilization cycles (0-99 minutes) at adjustable temperatures (100C-134C) enable effective processing for a variety of applications. Direct steam contact and uniform distribution ensure reliable results, suitable for hospitals, laboratories, and research environments.
FAQ's of Fully Automatic Vertical Autoclave 180 Ltr (Steam Sterilizer):
Q: How does the fully automatic vertical autoclave operate for sterilization?
A: The autoclave utilizes an ISI-marked immersion heater to generate steam, distributing it uniformly via built-in piping. Users set temperature (100C-134C) and time (0-99 minutes) on the digital controller. Once parameters are set, the autoclave automatically manages the cycle, including pressure build-up, sterilization, and exhaust.
Q: What safety features are incorporated in this steam sterilizer?
A: This model includes automatic pressure cut-off, low-water level protection, a locking lid with radial mechanism, alarm buzzers for process end or malfunctions, and safety valves to release excess pressure, ensuring operator protection throughout each cycle.
Q: When should laboratories or hospitals use a 180-litre autoclave?
A: A 180-litre autoclave is ideal when large volumes of instruments or materials require sterilization, such as in medium to large laboratories, hospitals, or research facilities with high throughput demands.
Q: Where can this autoclave be installed, and is it portable?
A: The autoclave is floor-standing and designed with castor wheels, making it portable within the facility. It can be installed in laboratories, hospital sterilization departments, or research institutions where space and mobility are considerations.
Q: What are the main benefits of the microprocessor-based digital controller and alarms?
A: The microprocessor controller maintains precise temperature and pressure control for reproducible sterilization. Digital displays and alarms notify users of process completion, abnormal functions, and low water levels, enhancing both operational convenience and safety.
Q: How is the chamber cleaned and maintained?
A: The highly polished stainless steel chamber resists corrosion and is easy to wipe down. Regular inspection, draining of residual water, and following manufacturer guidelines for gasket and heater maintenance ensure optimal performance and longevity.
