Autoclaves for large load sterilisation

The popularity of Priorclave steam and water jacketed rectangular chamber autoclaves is due to their exceptionally large, sterilising chamber. It makes them eminently suitable for laboratories undertaking high-volume throughputs or frequently tasked with handling taller and bulkier items. Their design enables them to deliver both faster sterilising processes and drier loads more quickly and reliably.

Current models include a choice of six chambers capacities from 230 to 350L (two hand wheels) and 400 to 700L (three hand wheels). They are part of the recently extended range of BASE, SMART and PERFORMANCE models.  It gives customers more choice of standard rectangular chamber laboratory and research grade autoclaves, incorporating more features and benefits.

All models are fitted with a large hand-wheel closure system for easy safe opening/closing of the rigid robust hinged door. An inherent design feature is the fitting of thermal and pressure locks to the lower hand-wheel. This prevents door opening at load temperature above 80°C and pressures above 0.2 bar, thus averting potential accidents through discharge of hot pressurised steam.

The build quality and performance of Priorclave rectangular front-loading autoclaves is unquestionable - durable and dependable. They incorporate epoxy coated panels and frame members treated with an anti-bacterial agent that is highly effective and a permanent treatment for control of harmful bacteria. It makes surfaces cleaner, more hygienic and provides a durable lifelong protection against the threat of cross contamination. This coating is proven to reduce bacterial growth by up to 99.99% and is highly effective against MRSA, E- coli, Listeria, Legionella, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Pseudomonas and over fifty other species.
