High Pressure Cylindrical Autoclave by DM Sterile Industries
The high pressure cylindrical autoclave from DM Sterile Industries provides dependable steam sterilization for instruments, dressings, culture media, glassware and porous loads. Operating typically at 121–134°C with saturated steam, the robust cylindrical chamber, precision controls and validated cycles ensure repeatable sterility assurance in CSSD, hospital OT, pharmaceutical QC and research laboratories.
Working Principle and Process Flow
Steam under pressure raises the temperature above the normal boiling point of water, rapidly denaturing microbial proteins and spores. Typical cycles include air removal, heating to set temperature, holding for the prescribed exposure time, and controlled exhaust and drying. The double-walled, steam-jacketed design improves heat distribution while safety interlocks and pressure monitoring safeguard operators.
