Safety

Door Safety

  • A safety device prevents the operator from opening the door when the chamber is pressurized
  • Steam is not allowed to enter the chamber when the door is open
  • A cycle cannot start if the door is open or not properly locked
  • The door cannot unlock until liquid     temperature reaches the predetermined end temp
  • The door cannot unlock until chamber     pressure reaches room pressure
  • Temperature Activated Door Lock - The door will not open until the temperature is below a specified safe level

General Safety Features

  • Double Independent Monitoring: The combined electronic and mechanical monitoring guarantees accurate results. The operator has two independent means to monitor temperature and pressure.
  • Safety Valves: The chamber is equipped with safety valves – if the pressure exceeds the allowed limit the safety valves will discharge
  • Built-in Steam Generator Safety: A water level monitoring system maintains a constant water level and ensures safe operation of the heaters

General Features

  • The chamber is constructed of long lasting 316Ti grade stainless steel with superior corrosion resistance
  • The generator is made from stainless steel
  • The autoclave automatically switches to standby mode if no buttons or switches are operated for four hours
  • The autoclave is designed for easy servicing allowing maintenance access to all components
  • Drain Protection: The exhaust drain is mixed with cold tap water that cools the exhaust’s     temperature before reaching the drain
