About Horizontal High Pressure Autoclave
Our clients can avail from us a supreme quality range of Horizontal High Pressure Autoclave, that works on the principle of moist heat sterilization where steam under pressure is used to sterilize the material. Our offered Horizontal High Pressure Autoclave is highly efficient and is appreciated by our clients for being made available in several specifications. This autoclave is generally comprises of a sterilization chamber, boiler, piping and fitting, sensors and control panel.
Advanced Control and Safety MechanismsEquipped with a microprocessor-based PLC and HMI touchscreen, this autoclave provides superior control and monitoring during every sterilization cycle. Over-pressure and over-temperature protection, as well as a comprehensive interlock system, ensure safe and reliable operation for both operators and materials.
Superior Construction MaterialsThe chamber and jacket are fabricated from corrosion-resistant SS 316, while the chamber interior is mirror-polished for easy cleaning and the exterior has a matt finish for a sleek look. High-density glass wool or PUF insulation helps maintain temperature uniformity, and silicone or EPDM gaskets ensure leak-proof, high temperature resistance.
Flexible Installation and Efficient OperationChoose between floor mounted or skid mounted versions to best fit your facility's layout. The autoclave handles 380VAC, 3-phase power, utilizing approximately 8.5 kW per cycle and 80 liters of water, with a chamber size of 1400 x 600 x 600 mm, suitable for high throughput sterilization needs.
Documentation and ValidationComprehensive documentation packages (IQ/OQ/PQ) and built-in validation ports ensure straightforward compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. All sterilization parameters are digitally recorded for traceability and process verification.
FAQ's of Horizontal High Pressure Autoclave:
Q: How does the microprocessor-based PLC and HMI touchscreen improve autoclave operation?
A: The integrated PLC and HMI touchscreen provide precise control, enabling intuitive programmable cycles and real-time monitoring of critical parameters like temperature and pressure. This ensures consistent, repeatable sterilization processes while minimizing human error.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of the chamber, and why is SS 316 chosen?
A: The chamber and jacket are made of stainless steel 316 grade, selected for its outstanding resistance to corrosion, high temperature durability, and ease of cleaning. This guarantees long-lasting performance and purity in sterilization cycles.
Q: When should IQ/OQ/PQ documentation be used with this autoclave?
A: IQ/OQ/PQ documentation should be completed during installation and before operation to validate performance, assure proper functionality, and fulfill regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical, healthcare, and laboratory applications.
Q: Where can the Horizontal High Pressure Autoclave be installed?
A: This autoclave is suitable for floor-mounted or skid-mounted installation, making it adaptable for use in manufacturing plants, research laboratories, hospitals, and pharmaceutical quality control environments.
Q: What is the sterilization process and how does it ensure thorough treatment?
A: Sterilization is achieved using electric or steam heating, reaching temperatures between 121C and 134C for up to 99 minutes, under high pressure. The combination of rotary/fixed nozzle sprays and reliable gaskets ensures uniform heat distribution for complete sterilization.
Q: How is safety ensured during operation?
A: Safety features include over-pressure and over-temperature protection, interlock systems to prevent door opening under pressure, high-density glass wool/PUF insulation, and safety, pressure relief, steam, and drain valves, all designed to safeguard users and the environment.
Q: What are the key benefits of using the Horizontal High Pressure Autoclave?
A: Benefits include efficient, reliable sterilization of large loads, compliance with stringent industry documentation requirements, advanced control systems for process optimization, and robust SS 316 construction ensuring hygiene, durability, and operational efficiency.
