Precise and Reliable Sterilization CycleAchieving temperatures up to 134C and pressures up to 2.2 kg/cm2, this autoclave guarantees effective sterilization within 15-30 minutes depending on the load. The high-grade immersion heater and replaceable components ensure long-term, efficient operation and easy maintenance.
FAQ's of Vertical Autoclave Double Drum:
Q: How does the double drum design benefit users in terms of sterilization efficiency?
A: The double drum structure permits simultaneous sterilization of two separate loads, maximizing throughput and reducing the total number of cycles required. This saves time and energy, especially in environments with high sterilization demands.
Q: What materials are used for the inner chamber and outer body of the vertical autoclave?
A: The inner chamber is constructed from SS 304-grade stainless steel, while the outer body features a polished stainless steel finish, ensuring optimal hygiene and resistance to rust and chemical corrosion.
Q: When should the water level indicator be checked, and why is it important?
A: The water level indicator should be checked before every sterilization cycle to ensure that the correct amount of water is present. Maintaining the proper water level is crucial for generating adequate steam and preventing damage to the heating element.
Q: Where is this vertical autoclave typically used?
A: This model is widely used in hospitals, medical clinics, and research laboratories in India and internationally. It is suitable for sterilizing surgical instruments, glassware, and laboratory materials where reliable sterilization is required.
Q: What safety features are incorporated in this autoclave model?
A: It includes a radial self-locking lid with a silicon gasket, automatic pressure cut-off system, spring-loaded safety valve, pressure release valve, and a water level indicator to ensure operational safety and prevent over-pressurization.
Q: How is the sterilization process conducted in this autoclave?
A: Instruments are placed inside the autoclave's double drums, water is added, and the unit is sealed. The autoclave heats up to create steam, reaching up to 134C and 2.2 kg/cm2, effectively sterilizing items in 15-30 minutes, depending on the load.
