Priorclave is extending its range of high capacity rectangular chamber sterilisers with the launch of a 850 litre model.
The first model option in the RSC 850 series has been purposely designed for applications requiring sterilisation of extra-bulky dense waste.
It incorporates a water jacket, effectively another pressure vessel surrounding the main sterilising chamber. Steam or cold water is run through the void between the two to heat or cool the outside of the autoclave chamber.
When condensate avoidance is required, particularly for porous and textile loads, it is possible to heat the walls of the vessel to minimise condensation build-up and help retain a dry load.
Naturally, when cold water enters the water jacket it enables laboratories to achieve a faster cooling.
The overall benefit is that of improving the sterilisation process time from start to finish while ensuring optimum proper sterilisation takes place.
RSC 850 autoclave comes fitted with an automatic water-fill.
In addition, Priorclave is able to incorporate a number of options including pre-cycle vacuum, in which multiple vacuum stages are programmed with interspersed heating to achieve improved air removal, along with the
added benefit of greater steam penetration of difficult complex loads as well as post cycle drying.
The large rectangular chamber laboratory autoclave is equipped with a patented large hand-wheel door closure system for easy, safe opening/closing of the rigid robust hinged door at a loading height of 800mm.
A thermal and pressure lock system to the lower hand-wheel prevents door opening at load temperature above 80°C and pressures above 0.15 bar - thereby averting potential accidents through discharge of hot, high-pressurised steam.
Developed by Priorclave, the 850 brings the number of models in the RSC standard range high capacity steam sterilisers to six – 230, 285, 350, 450, 700 and 850 litres.
Each is fitted with an advanced microprocessor control system to guide operators through simple set-up procedures.
Priorclave is able to tailor the design to suit specific requirements, offering a choice of steam generation – electrical or direct steam heated. Alternatively, products can be fitted with an in-house steam generator ideal where continuous sterilising applications take place.
The robust build quality of the new autoclave features epoxy coated panels and frame members treated with an anti-bacterial agent that is highly effective and permanent treatment for control of harmful bacteria.
The tough special epoxy finish 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 more than 50 other species.
