STH-HV SERIES Large-Capacity Pulse Vacuum Autoclave 100L - 300L

STH-HV Series: Large-Capacity Pulse Vacuum Autoclave (100L - 300L)
Engineered for Uncompromising Sterilization in Demanding Environments

Our cylindrical front-loading autoclaves are built to provide reliable, automated sterilization for medical instruments, laboratory glassware, and pharmaceutical materials. Combining robust construction with intelligent controls, the STH-HV Series ensures complete steam penetration and thorough drying for total peace of mind.

Technology & Process

Three-Stage Sterilization Intelligence

The STH-HV Series automates complex sterilization cycles into a seamless, reliable process:

1. Deep Air Removal: Advanced pulsating vacuum technology actively evacuates cold air from the chamber. This eliminates temperature cold spots, ensuring pure saturated steam can instantly and uniformly penetrate even complex instrument geometries.

2. Saturated Steam Sterilization: Utilizing the high latent heat released when pressurized steam condenses, the chamber rapidly achieves and maintains a precise high-temperature, high-humidity environment. This proven physical process effectively destroys all microorganisms, including resistant bacterial spores.

3. Efficient Vacuum Drying: A final cycle of vacuum dehumidification, supported by a heated jacket, actively removes moisture from sterilized items. This results in completely dry, ready-to-use packages and instruments, straight from the chamber.

Technical Specifications

Main Features & Benefits

• Automated Sterilization Cycles: Simplify operation and ensure repeatable results with programmable logic control. Operators can select pre-validated programs for different load types with ease.

• Comprehensive Safety System: A multi-layered safety interlock includes door-seal pressure locks, over-temperature/over-pressure cut-offs, and a mechanical safety valve, ensuring complete operator and environmental protection.

• Proactive System Protection: Integrated sensors provide low-water level protection to prevent dry-running, along with overcurrent protection to safeguard the electrical system.

• Validated Sterilization Assurance: The built-in BD test function and automatic data recording printer provide tangible proof of successful steam penetration and cycle completion, crucial for compliance and quality audits.

• Rugged & Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The entire chamber is crafted from high-grade stainless steel, guaranteeing long-term durability and resistance to corrosion in high-heat, high-moisture conditions.

Applications

• Healthcare & CSSD: Ideal for sterilizing wrapped surgical instrument kits, dressing sets, and linens in hospital central sterile supply departments.

• Research & Diagnostic Labs: Effectively sterilizes laboratory glassware, culture media, and bio-hazardous waste (subject to local regulatory compliance).
