PROHS horizontal steam sterilisers are developed for Biosafety II (PC2) and Biosafety III (PC3) Laboratories, with effluent and environmental contamination prevention requirements. It is equipped with accelerated cooling liquid cycle. The chamber is manufactured robotically – to ensure complete chamber integrity, in AISI 316L stainless steel. The unit is produced using high quality components, it is a reliable, durable and efficient solution that follows strict international health standards (EN 13445:2009, and Directive 97/23/CE – See Appendix B for Certifications). The selection of high quality and certified components made from AISI 316L stainless steel allows for increased longevity and minimised breakdowns, thus reducing the effective cost of the machine over its lifetime and increasing the customer’s value-for-money.
BIOSAFETY
Model especially developed to guarantee that safety requirements are met for laboratories with high biosafety risk, including options such as accelerated cooling, health barrier, filtration of effluents and condensate sterilisation.
CONSTRUCTION
Chamber, sheaf and doors made from AISI 316L stainless steel highly resistant to corrosion. Produced with chamber of hoops for greater configuration options of the cycles.
CYCLES
Cycles for solids and liquids with totally configurable parameters, including 3 different kinds of cooling: Natural, Active and Accelerated.
Technical Characteristics
● Materials – Chamber, jacket and doors built in AISI 316L stainless steel, highly resistant to corrosion. External panels in AISI 316 stainless steel. The steriliser’s body is sustained by a heavy structure in AISI 304 stainless steel.
● Thermal Insulation – is achieved using mineral wool, coated with an external protection in aluminium. The temperature on the surface of the external panels in stainless steel AISI 304 and doors never exceeds 450°C at a room temperature of 230°C.
● Doors – Automatic vertical sliding doors, pneumatically operated and equipped with a safety device in accordance to EN285.
● Water Saving System – Special water deposit, designed to reduce the overall water consumption of the equipment.
● Vacuum Pump – Liquid ring type, reduces the cycle time and increase its performance.
● Electric Box – Consists of highly reliable control and power components. The equipment operates an energy saving system to achieve optimal energy efficiency.
● Gauges – Easy visualisation of the working pressure in the steam generator, jacket and chamber
● Colour Touch Screen 10” – Allows real time view of all the stages of the sterilisation process. All operating commands are automatically done on the screen
o Cycle Selection
o Opening and Closing the doors
o Alarms (Visual and Audible)
o Several menus (technical area, calibration, configuration, alarm storage etc)
Safety Features
● Safety system stops the door from closing if there is interposition of objects.
● The sterilisation program does not start when doors are open.
● Doors do not open simultaneously.
● Doors do not open when the Steriliser is under pressure.
● Self-diagnostic reports through visual and acoustic indications.
● Safety Valve – Operates as a security system to avoid excessive pressure inside the chamber, being duly certified.
● Emergency Button – Completely stops the Steriliser
Components Characteristics
● Microprocessor – The steriliser is fully controlled by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), according to the operating program selected by the user
● Safety Valve – Operates as a security system to avoid excessive pressure inside the chamber, all valves our certified.
● Pneumatic Valves – Used in the equipment (chamber and jacket) ranging from (0 KPa to 400 KPa)
● Temperature Probes – 2 Platinum resistance type according to Class A from EN60751 in the chamber
● Gasket – Produced in silicon and specifically designed to withstand high temperatures.
● Bacteriological Filter – The air entrance for the required equalisation of the pressures in the steriliser is achieved through a filter which retains microorganisms, bacteria, particles etc. (retention efficiency ≥ to 99,995% for particles bigger than 0.2 μm)
● Fluid Circuit – All pipes and connections used to distribute steam and condensates through the steriliser are made from stainless steel
