Lab3 is to introduce the Boxer Eco range of autoclaves, designed to bring greater economies to steam sterilisation applications by reducing energy consumption and water requirements.
Two Boxer Eco models are initially being introduced: the BL3-200-100, which has a 95-litre capacity, and the BL3-200-200 autoclave, which has a 180-litre capacity.
Both autoclaves offer front loading with a load height of 850mm; the door features a single-action closure mechanism that makes opening and closing easier.
The autoclaves are electrically heated and offer an operational temperature range up to 136C and pressure of 2.2 bar.
All parameter settings are easily made via a large, clear touch screen mounted on the front of the autoclave and once process temperature and time have been set the cycle is automatic, a graphical indication of the real-time process status being permanently displayed.
The freestanding Boxer autoclaves from Lab3 have chambers finished in polished grade 316 stainless steel; the BL3-200-100 with a chamber size of 480 x 345 x 565mm and the BL3-200-200 with a chamber size of 480 x 510 x 730mm.
As standard, each autoclave is supplied with two stainless steel loading shelves.
The Boxer autoclaves comply with current UK and European Union safety regulations.
They have full insurance approval for pressure vessel design and construction and are CE marked under the Pressure Equipment Directive PD5500:2000 Cat 3, Certificate Number CEN-068752/B1.
The Boxer brand of autoclaves is backed by a three-year warranty.
