Choosing an autoclave for production

A modern industrial autoclave є складним, високотехнологічним обладнанням, одними з найголовніших переваг якого мають бути – простота обслуговування та експлуатації, надійність, довговічність, відповідність санітарно-епідеміологічним вимогам, мала енерговитратність, висока продуктивність. Autoclaving is the most common method of sterilisation.

How to choose the right autoclave for your business? First of all, before choosing an autoclave, you need to clearly understand what goals and tasks you need this equipment for.

There are several factors to consider that will help you make the right choice:

• Amount and type of sterilisation: Determine the sterilisation needs of your production. Consider the types of materials and products that need to be sterilised and the amount of work that needs to be done. This will help you determine the capacity and functionality of your autoclave.
• Technical requirements: Ensure that the selected autoclave model meets the technical requirements of your production. Pay attention to the power supply, water supply and other necessary connections.
• Quality of sterilisation: Ensure that the autoclave delivers the required quality of sterilisation. Some models may have sterilisation programmes for specific types of material that provide optimal efficiency and safety.
• Functionality and ease of use: Consider the functionality of the autoclave, such as automatic control, process monitoring, safety, and other additional features. Ensure that the autoclave is easy to use and maintain.
• Budget: Set a budget that you are willing to allocate to the purchase of an autoclave. Compare different models and their costs, and consider additional maintenance and repair costs.
• Reliability and support: Consider the reputation of the autoclave manufacturer and its service support.

 

The answers to these questions will allow you to find the right options for you, offered by the supplier of autoclaves and other necessary canning equipment.

You should also pay attention to the type of autoclave you want. There are four main types of autoclaves that can be used depending on the specific needs and requirements of your business:

Autoclaves with gravity circulation cooling: This type of autoclave uses gravity circulation for cooling after the sterilisation cycle. They are usually simple in design and reliable in operation, but cooling times can be long.

Autoclaves with forced circulation cooling: This type of autoclave uses a pump to actively circulate water for rapid cooling after the sterilisation cycle. They provide rapid cooling and reduce overall cycle time, making them efficient for production needs.

Vacuum autoclaves: These autoclaves are used to sterilise materials that require the complete removal of air from the chamber. They create a vacuum to remove the air and then fill the chamber with steam for sterilisation. Vacuum autoclaves effectively sterilise a wide variety of materials.

Pre-vacuum autoclaves: This type of autoclave combines vacuum and circulation technology for a fast and efficient sterilisation process. They are capable of rapid evacuation of air from the chamber and distribution of sterilising steam, making them ideal for production environments with a high volume of sterilisation.

Only by addressing these priority issues will you be able to purchase the best possible option for your production.
