Vertical Autoclave

Vertical Autoclave | Top Loading Sterilizers (22 to 175 liters)

Laboratory Equipment Manufacturing

Vertical autoclaves are necessary sterilisation tools in different industries like laboratories, healthcare institutions, and research centers. They are effective, reliable, and easy to use, making them applicable for many purposes, such as bacteriological and research labs, hospitals, clinic dispensaries, or food processing units. The chamber volumes range from 22 to 175 litres in this vertical autoclave unit, which maximises space usage with a microprocessor control system that is easy to use. The vertical steam sterilisers are other names for these units, and they can be made of GMP stainless steel double and triple-walled construction or MS (Mild Steel) inner and exterior constructions. Finally, the unit has an automatic water inlet valve, a temperature controller, a cum indicator pressure stat, automatic water level indicators, and mechanical timers.

What is a vertical autoclave?

This vertical autoclave is also called a top-loading sterilizer, and it is designed to carry out sterilization in a small working space within laboratories. They operate at 134°C with large chamber volumes, helping them to sterilize everything in one cycle. In addition, they are built from durable materials that can withstand even the harshest environments. This is widely used for instance in sterilizing medical supplies as well as culture matter of microbiology labs, surgical theaters and semisolid media amongst others. For example, bionics Consortium manufactures vertical autoclave machines including economy models with powder coated mild steel (MS) exteriors and stainless steel interiors; deluxe models having double walls made of both inner and outer Stainless Steel; triple-wall models on the other hand include an additional chamber with thicker gauge stainless steel walls.

Leading Vertical Autoclave Manufacturers in India

Bionics Consortium is a leading company manufacturing vertical or top-loading autoclave products for the Indian market. As such, we offer various vertical types, including fully automated sterile lab equipment or clinical laboratory specimen incubation chambers, through our global leadership position in terms of infection control and sterilisation solutions. These sterilisers are famous for their durability and high performance attributes and are used in steam sterilisation, aqueous fluids, culture media, surgical instruments, glassware, plastics, pipette tips, hazardous biological waste, as well as contaminated media. Hence, we have successfully supplied the leading hospitals across India with semi-automatic as well as fully automatic vertical autoclaves having ergonomic design; ease of use and affordability being their main selling propositions.

Design and Vertical Autoclave Construction

Vertical autoclaves are double-walled units made of thick gauge stainless steel sheet of S.S.-304/M.S. grade with an outer body and inner chamber made of heavy gauge stainless steel. They can be air-insulated, or alternatively, mineral glass wool insulation can be incorporated into them. The lid includes a dual radial safety locking system for easy opening and closing. Hospitals and research labs find vertical autoclaves ideal, thanks to a dual safety steam release valve and pressure gauge. To ensure maximum safety and protection, they are tested for up to 2.5 times the standard working pressure. Some of the most common features include a stainless steel basket and pressure gauge.

Heating: Uses specially designed water heaters to ensure that the sterilization is carried out within an optimal period.
Working/Temperature Pressure: Boosted to 134⁰C for particular requirements.
Working Pressure: The standard pressure of 15 PSI can be increased up to 30 PSI.
Pressure Range: Nominal pressure operates within a 5 to 20 psi range.
Pressure Control: A semi-automatic piezostatically controlled pressure, where current is cut off when the heater pressure goes beyond a predetermined value.

Upgrade standard

Low water protection device: an automatic system that safeguards against low water when prolonged usage takes place.
Timer having alarm system: semi-automatic equipment for fixing sterilisation time as well as other tasks.
Digital temperature indicator: Remote temperature monitoring enabled by a large LED digital display.
Programmable Temperature Controller: A microprocessor-based controller ensuring high accuracy and reliability in pre-programmed sterilisation cycle temperatures.
Chart recorder: semi-automatic self-contained recording instrument for permanent temperature recording on graph sheet.

PLC Control System:

Microprocessor circuit technology is the basis of PLC control systems.
Ensures fully automated processes with unmatched efficiency and reliability.
It provides continuous automated operation throughout the process of sterilisation from start to end.
Human intervention is not required after parameter selection and the commencement of the process of sterilisation.
On the LCD panel, it shows the primary cycle phase, actual parameters, and set values.

Applications

Vertical autoclaves, also called top loading sterilizers, are utilized in different sectors such as pharmaceuticals, medicine, healthcare, biotechnology and microbiology for effective sterilization of glassware, biological materials and culture media. These are cylindrical units widely used in hospitals, Operation Theatres and microbiology laboratories. They can only be opened by means of a radial locking mechanism on the lid’s top part with a foot lever attached at the bottom. Our Vertical autoclave selection includes affordable budget models with powder-coated steel exteriors and stainless steel interiors; premium options with double-walled stainless steel constructions; and leading models featuring triple-wall designs as well as extra thick stainless steels. We design each vertical steam sterilizer according to ASME guidelines ensuring safety for users and samples.
