Steam Autoclave Description
The NEBULA autoclaves have been designed to sterilise heat-resistant and moisture-stable materials – such as metal parts, plastic and rubber components, liquids in ventilated or sealed containers, and fabrics etc.
POROUS, NON-POROUS AND LIQUIDS
SATURATED STEAM
121°C – 134°C
Process Features
“Standard” and custom programmes for every need. The equipment process is developed by our Automation Department, according to the current codes/standards and the type of product to be processed. Vacuum breaker tests; Bowie & Dick tests; Helix tests; air filter in situ sterilisation and integrity tests; solid and porous material programme; programme for liquids in ventilated containers; programme for liquids in sealed containers; highly-sensitive material (filters) programme; rubber cap programme; Decontamination cycle in compliance with BSL3 and BSL4 etc. The steam is injected into the chamber via a PID-controlled modulating valve and the condensate is continuously evacuated through the drain, in order to ensure excellent heat distribution during the entire sterilisation phase (temperature deviation below ± 0.4°C).
