Horizontal Cylindrical Autoclave

Introduction :
Horizontal Cylindrical Autoclave is based on the principle that microbiological action of saturated steam at elevated temperature is rapid and through. All models work on the principle of downward displacement of air which is the most economical method of obtaining sterilization. Robust and rigid construction, designed for all types of bulk sterilization which are commonly needed in Medical, Agricultural, research Institute and Pharmaceutical Industries. Suitable for Sterilizing hospital dressings, rubber, plastic goods, surgical instruments, glass wares, etc.

Safety Features : 

(a) Special provision prevents the operator from opening the door, when the chamber is under pressure.
(b) The sterilizer is provided with triple safety.
Pressure control switch which automatically cut off the pressure at required set value.
• Three spring loaded safety valves one each at chamber and jacket & boiler level.
• A dead weight safety valve at chamber level.
(c) A plug screen prevents the discharge line from choking.
The plug is easily removable for routing cleaning.
(d) A powerful Ejector (for drying sterilized linen) circulates
air through the chamber. The circulating air passes
through a corrosion resistant metal wool filter.
(e) A Dial thermometer is provided to indicate the chamber temperature.
(f) Automatic vacuum breaker is provided to break vacuum in case of vacuum formation due to steam condensation.

Construction:
Triple walled with steam jacket and separate boiler Inner chamber and steam jacket are made up of Heavy gauge S.S. 316 / 304. The sterilizer has single piece door made of stainless steel 316 / 304. Back plate and ring is also made of thick stainless steel sheet. Mounted on tubular steel frame with ground leveling screwed flanges. The Outer jacket is wrapped with asbestos sheet or glass wool to minimize the heat losses due to radiation and is covered by polished stainless steel sheet for that elegant appearance.

Steam Generator :

Made of heavy stainless steel sheet. Heavy ring mounted in front of the boiler with folding thick stainless steel plate is fitted with heating elements and low water level cut off device. Front folding plate system provides easy cleaning of the deposited scale on the elements and the walls for long life and efficiency. Fitted with water gauge glass for water level indication, water inlet and outlet valves.

Door Safety :

Sterilizer has hinged self-locking single piece thick S.S. 316/304 plate door and 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.

Pressure Control :
The “PIEZOSTAT” (Pressure control device) is incorporated in all electrically operated sterilizers. It economizes on power consumption and reduces the frequent opening of the steam release valve and thus prevents the release of steam in the room, It cuts off the power supply to heaters when the set pressure is achieved and re energies the heating elements when pressure falls below the set point.

Heating Elements :
Flanged type, immersion heating elements is made of high grade material and duly lSI marked.

Single Point Control :
Complete sterilizing cycle is controlled from one point with the help of”Multiport Valve” fitted at front top. Two speeds of steam exhaust are available; fast and slow. Easily readable jacket and chamber pressure on gauges mounted on the multi-port valve. A moisture trap is fitted in the chamber discharge line to absorb the condensate automatically to prevent moistening of the subject matter to be sterilized.

Control Panel Switch Box :
Electrical control panel box mounted on the stand of the sterilizer for easy operation. Electrical parts – pressure switch, contactor, water level relay, MCB, RYB Indicators & on off switch.

Other Features :

• Additionai Tray / Shelves Adjustable
• Carriage & Trolley
• Direct steam supply from centralized boiler
