150L Horizontal Cylindrical Autoclave HCPS-A150

• Employs gravity exchange technology to purge cold air thoroughly, ensuring optimal steam penetration.
• Automated control adjusts steam flow in real-time based on temperature feedback for precise sterilization.
• Designed for the sterilization of diverse items including surgical tools, laboratory glassware, and media.
• Integrated drying cycle effectively dries medical textiles and lab materials post-sterilization.
• Safety valve automatically activates to exhaust steam if pressure surpasses 0.24 MPa.
• Comprehensive safety suite: over-temperature/over-pressure protection and water-lack auto-shutdown with alarm.
• Pressure-interlocked door cannot be opened above 0.027 MPa and ensures a proper seal before operation.
• Built with a fully stainless steel chamber for longevity, hygiene, and easy maintenance.

The autoclave is an essential sterilization device that employs pressurized saturated steam as its active agent. It operates on the well-established principle that moist heat is profoundly effective at inactivating microorganisms by coagulating their proteins. To achieve this, the chamber is heated to standard temperatures like 121°C or 134°C, with corresponding pressures of 15 psi or more.

The process follows a validated sequence: conditioning to remove air, exposure to sterilizing steam, and exhaust/drying. This technology is ubiquitous in hospitals for processing surgical instrument trays, in dental practices for handpieces, and in laboratories for preparing sterile glassware and agar. It is also a critical component of biosafety programs for treating contaminated waste. Beyond life sciences, it serves in industrial applications like vulcanization. The rationale for its widespread use is compelling. It offers a non-toxic, rapid, and highly effective means of achieving sterility. Its efficacy is broad-spectrum, encompassing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. Furthermore, the penetrating power of steam allows it to process packaged items and complex devices with internal channels, which many other sterilization technologies cannot handle as effectively.
