Application

Steam Sterilization of a wide range of instruments, rubber articles, metal components and fabric commonly sterilized in any Hospital. Sterilization can be carried out at 1210 C or 1340 C depending on the load configuration for settable sterilization times.

Chamber Size
Volume

Horizontal. Cylindrical.
400 mm dia x 600 mm long.
Volume 75 liters.

Chamber Fabrication

The chamber is CYLINDRICAL in shape and is fabricated from stainless steel S.S. 304 with full argon welding. The S.S. chamber has a high resistance to steam corrosion. The chamber is easily cleanable and a 2% slope is provided for full draining of condensates. A removable screen plug is provided in the drain lines to prevent clogging of the drainpipes and fittings. The chamber is provided with a safety valve.

Jacket Fabrication

The chamber is re-enforced with stainless steelsS.S.304 dimpled jacket. The jacket besides re-enforcing the chamber also ensures temperature uniformity in the sterilization space. The jacket is provided with a safety valve.

Insulation

The jacket is insulated with 50 mm thick non-fiber shredding resin bonded glass wool, which is held in place with Stainless Steel outer cover.

Design Standard

The pressure vessel is designed as per ASME SEC VII and welding joints are partially radio graphed for high security.

Stand Fabrication

The steam sterilizer is mounted on a stainless steel stand. All the accessories are   mounted on the stand. This reduces installation and commissioning time and makes re-installation easy, whenever required.

Single Manual Door

The steam sterilizer has a single, manual door.  The door is fabricated from SS 304. A high temperature resistant silicone-sealing gasket is pneumatically actuated for effective sealing.

Steam Generator

18 KW -The steam generator is fabricated from stainless steel plates. Water filling is through a dosing pump. The steam generator is insulated with resin embedded rubber sheet. This prevents heat loss. The Steam Generator is provided with two no’s water level sensors. One sensor is provided at the bottom of the steam generator to protect the heaters from dry run. The other sensor at the top is to maintain the control of water level. A safety valve is provided.

Piping

Piping is of SS 304. The pipeline has 2% slopes for complete drain to prevent contamination.  

Shelf

The Steam Sterilizer has a removable perforated stainless steel shelf for easy loading and unloading of packs.

Surface Finish

The chamber & the door are finished to a surface finish better than 0.8 Ra value

Control System

The steam sterilizer is operated through a multi-port valve.
