Horizontal Autoclave

Horizontal Autoclave Steam Sterilizer Rectangular & Cylindrical

Laboratory Equipment Manufacturing

The Horizontal Steam Steriliser is a high-quality horizontal steriliser that complies with GMP and ISO 9001 standards. It can be used in hospitals, scientific research institutes, and other institutions to sterilise sterile clothes, instruments, culture media, etc. These sterilisers are used in numerous sectors like healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and laboratories to sterilise equipment and supplies through pressure-saturated steam over 121°C. Since it has a horizontal design type, these equipment’s have larger sizes as well as enabling the handling of bulky items effectively, thus making them suitable for bulked-up sterilisation activity.

What is meant by horizontal autoclaves?

A horizontal autoclave is essentially a kind of steam steriliser that is ergonomically designed to facilitate loading and unloading processes, especially for materials at a working temperature of about 139 °C. Unlike vertical models, which require lifting up materials, this seems like a more efficient approach towards managing gigantic or weighty loads. The Bionics Consortium gives several alternatives in terms of chamber width; this includes front-loading cylindrical or rectangular-shaped autoclaves for bigger loads. They are made from stainless steel, hence no corrosion problems that may arise due to constant contact with moisture during use; they also come fitted with automatic water cut-offs when the water level rises above normal, besides automatic temperature and pressure controllers, among other features. The Bionics Consortium’s Range of Horizontal Autoclaves is ideal when there is limited floor space or budgetary constraints in health care facilities, labs, or research centres.

The stainless steel chamber is double-walled and leak-proof with a rolled steel jacket surrounding it, while the inner lining is made of stainless steel on both sides for durability and hygiene purposes. Hydraulically tested to withstand 2.5 times the working pressure, asbestos sheet insulation or glass wool prevents heat loss. Stainless steel boiler, which has easily replaceable high-grade flange heaters. Safety valve; water level indicator; pressure tested to 40 psi; water inlet and drain outlet; low water level protection. It runs on a 440V 3-phase A.C. supply and has a safety lock for the door. In addition, other features include an automatic pressure control device, a vacuum breaker, and all standard accessories.

Leading horizontal autoclave manufacturers in India

Bionics Consortium is a leading manufacturer of horizontal autoclaves in India, which offers advanced solutions for various industries. Effective horizontal cylindrical autoclaves are sought after in healthcare as well as the pharmaceutical sector. This means less maintenance and service calls because there are half as many moving parts in a Bionics Consortium cylindrical unit as compared to rectangular units. These sterilisers are quite economical when considering their performance, along with modern controllers that ensure accurate results always. They also sell custom-engineered machines that suit such unique applications at reasonable prices while boasting a wide range of spares. These sterilisers are used in hospitals, C.S.S.D. (Central Sterile Services Department), day-care centres, academics and research institutes, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverage businesses. They manufacture autoclave sterilisers, which are widely applied in various segments like medial hazard waste treatment facilities or animal care centres/tissue culture laboratories. Therefore, Bionics Consortium is a reputable firm for efficient yet sophisticated techniques of sterilisation since it upholds quality plus efficiency in its services.

Design and Construction of Horizontal Autoclaves

The Horizontal autoclaves produced by the Bionics Consortium are based on cylindrical vessels with a lower number of moving parts than the equivalent rectangular option. These autoclaves minimize maintenance, maximize energy/water efficiency, and utilize a robust control system. The Bionics Consortium Horizontal autoclave Sterilizer is a very efficient stainless steel unit that heats up quickly without using much power. Also in stock are horizontal cylindrical triple walled high pressure autoclaves, horizontal rectangular triple walled high pressure autoclaves, fully SS vertical radial locking triple walled autoclaves, radial locking SS lining vertical double wall autoclave sterilizers and dental B-class rollers.

Bionics Consortium Sterilizers are highly dependable and efficient for sterilizing various things such as wrapped or unwrapped items, tools and instruments among others. These sterilizers are made from heavy duty stainless steel 304/316 having double walls to allow preheating through jacket steam. Single or double doors prevent door opening during pressure drop. The Sterilizer also includes perforated bottom shelf baffle plate multi-port main operating valve plug screen thermostatic steam trap/air vent powerful ejector including high speed steam generator with automatic safety features like an automatic steam coil. For loading/unloading materials into chamber instrument rack is made out of 304 SS whereas process control unit can be semi-automatic or fully automatic one; the vacuum system efficiently removes air from the chamber of the vessel.

Horizontal autoclave Controlling device

The microprocessor-based PID controller and vacuum controller controlled temperature overshoot devices utilized in these models also have 21 CFR controllers for displaying F0 values which are most important in pharmaceutical industry when it comes to sterilization of surgical instruments.

1. Pressure Regulator

Danish Pressure Controller Safety
When a given value is reached, it stops the supply of electricity to the heater.
This guarantees the safety of the user and steriliser.

2. Doors: There are single and double door variants of the Steriliser featuring radial lockdown. The door remains securely closed until the internal pressure reaches atmospheric pressure.

3. Trolley: This trolley is an integral part in preventing impurities from contaminating the contents of the steriliser, and it comes in both stainless steel and mild steel with stainless steel wheels to make it easy to move.

4. Multi-Port Valve: The multi-port valve regulates steam flow rates for system purging, steam movement between jacket and chamber, vacuum elimination, and pressure release at a slow pace.

5. Moisture Trap: During the drying process that occurs while transferring steam from the jacket to the sterilisation chamber during the sterilisation cycle, this moisture trap effectively removes any cold condensate that has been collected within the chamber.

6. Vacuum Breaker: A vacuum is created as steam condenses form in both the jacket and the chamber. Top-mounted vacuum breaker arrestors on each protect users as well as equipment from getting damaged. All pipe fittings conform to BSP standards and are made of stainless steel (SS 304/SS 316).

7. Emergency On/Off: If need be, all solenoid valves activated will result in rapid release of all steam pressure by a safety feature on the steriliser.

8. Steam Generator/Boiler: The capacity of this generator corresponds to that of the sterilising chamber. ISI-marked boilers have U-shaped water heaters with low water cut-off systems and glass water level indicators.

9. High-Speed type: High-speed sterilisation can be achieved by increasing load-carrying capability for the horizontal autoclave whilst maintaining short cycle times. These types are necessary for meeting high levels of sterility required by operating theatres used in hospitals.

Application

The autoclave is a sterilisation technology widely used in many fields, such as hospitals, pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, and medical centers. It uses saturated steam at pressures varying from 0 to 32 psig and temperatures ranging between 105°C and 137°C. Special temperature settings are available on demand. The air evacuation followed by a powerful ejector/vacuum pump and steam pulsing shortens the sterilisation cycle time. Bionics Consortium offers a range of sterilizer models, including double-walled horizontal autoclaves for critical applications requiring complete destruction of all living microorganisms.
