Priorclave launches round chamber autoclave

Published: 30-Oct-2013

The largest cylindrical-chamber steam steriliser in its product range

Priorclave has added a 500-litre autoclave to its Q63 range, which includes sterilising chambers with a taller profile than normally found in most ‘cylindrical’ machines, making it suitable for handling large items. The range also offers better loading versatility with much easier and safer chamber access due to the lower loading height of just 725mm.

The new Q63/EH500 autoclave is the largest cylindrical-chamber steam steriliser in Priorclave’s product range.

While offering increased loading capacity, the combination of features such as forced air cooling to reduce cycle times and automatic timed free-steaming for improved air removal add to the overall sterilising performance of the autoclave.

All operating settings are programmed through the Tactrol 2 microprocessor controller which is standard across the Priorclave range. A feature of the new Q63/EH500 is that the control system can be configured to log all temperature, pressure time and cycle data into a single compact archive file which can be subsequently downloaded onto a USB flash drive for transfer to computer. The operational data then can be forwarded from anywhere in the world direct to Priorclave’s UK Service Centre for technical assistance in fine-tuning and clarification of autoclave performance if required.

The Q63/EH500 autoclave is castor-mounted for ease of positioning, fitted with two non-tipping shelves and comes with a choice of optional items such as stainless steel baskets, waste containers and loading trolleys.

The build quality of the new autoclave uses epoxy coated panels and frame members, which are treated with an anti-bacterial agent that is effective against all bacteria and fungi including MRSA.
