We've been shippng these for years, and they're basically workhorses—the 304 stainless chamber holds up fine even with daily heavy loads. It runs at 0.22MPa and hits 134°C, with temperature uniformity within ±2°C, which matters when you're running a full 500L batch of instruments or media. What it does is circulate saturated steam under pressure for sterilization times you set anywhere form 0 to 60 minutes, and there's a separate drying cycle of the same length.
A lot of hospitals and labs go with the 280L or 400L versions, especially if they're processing multiple trays per shift. We've also had food processing plants ask about it for jar sterilization, but honestly, it's better suited for medical and pharmaceutical use given the chamber geometry. Most buyers don't realize the drying cycle doesn't always get everything bone-dry in 60 minutes if you're packing it tight—just a heads up.
The hand wheel door is solid, with a safety interlock that keeps you from opening it under pressrue, and the digital touch controls are pretty straightforward once you've used it once. Power specs vary by model—380V/50Hz is standard for bigger ones, but we can do 220V on the 150L if your facility has that instead. 1-year warranty is standard, but we've had units run five years or more without any major issues.
For bulk orders, you're looking at roughly 15-20 days lead time, give or take depending on stock levels—we usually have a few 200L units ready to go. MOQ is generally 1 unit, but if you need 5 or more, our company can flex on pricing and throw in extra temperature sensors or a data recording module (check lead time). Shipping is by sea freight for anything over 150L since they're heavy—about 200-300kg depending on the exact model.
Also, these come with CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certifications, so you don't need to chase paperwork for most audits. The control system logs cycle data, but it's not a built-in printer—you'd need to add that seprately if your protocol requires paper records. 5. Anyway, the 280L is pretty much the sweet spot for most mid-size labs, but if you're running high throughput, the 400L saves you a cycle or two per day.
Temperature uniformity is ≤±2°C, so you get even heat distribution throughout the 304 stainless steel chamber—critical for consistent sterilization results.
Yes, 220V is available for the 150L model. The 200L and larger models typically require 380V/50Hz, but let us know your local power setup and we’ll confirm compatibility.
It comes with CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certifications. We can provide copies of these documents upon request for your compliance audits.
Lead time is usually 15-30 days depending on the capacity and order volume. The MOQ is 1 unit for standard models, though bulk orders may qualify for a discount.
The hand wheel door has a mechanical safety interlock that prevents opening while the chamber is pressurized. It only releases once pressure drops to a safe level, so there’s no risk of accidental blowout.
