Top and Front-Loading Priorclaves
The ideal solution to the autoclaving needs of most laboratories these Priorclaves are ideally suited for use in a wide range of sterilising applications such as: media preparation, liquids and diluent, waste, glassware, instruments, apparatus and health care.
They are extensively used within many industries including: food, drink, dairy, pharmaceutical, agricultural, education, healthcare, research establishments and industry.
Features include:
- Top and Front Loading models with capacities from 100 to 200 litres
- Operation up to 138oC - 2.4 Bar
- Large diameter chamber giving 20% more loading area than conventional models.
- Quickseal 2 single action door closure system
- Steam generated within the chamber (electrically heated models) - Direct steam heated models available
- Complete with thermocouple entry and test ports
- Forced air cooling as standard helping to reduce cycle times
- Automatic timed freesteaming as standard for improved air removal and sterilising performance
- Delayed start and media warming function as standard for ready to pour media at the start of the day
- A large selection of options and accessories is available to help to get the most from your Priorclave
All models are fitted with the TACTROL microprocessor control system. After setting your required operating parameters press the start button for a fully automatic cycle. The control panel shows cycle status with digital readouts of temperature and time that can be viewed simultaneously. Temperature and time settings are fully adjustable within the operating range of the autoclave.
SAFETY
Pressure vessels are fully CE marked and insurance approved to the European PED 97/23/EC. The autoclaves fully conform to BS2646-1993, BS5500 Cat.3, and EMC directives, amongst others.
All autoclave doors are fully interlocked for safety with a special safety gate mechanism, which cracks the gasket seal allowing any residual pressure to safely escape. A thermal cooling lock, preventing the door from being opened until the contents have cooled to a safe temperature is also fitted along with a pressure interlock.
A low water level sensor, to guard against boil-dry conditions and a safety blow down valve afford further protection.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL - Single phase 240V, 50Hz, 30-amp power supply (7kW) or, if available a three phase 400V 50Hz 15A supply (10.5 kW). All models are suitable for wiring in either mode
STEAM (Direct steam heated models only) - Dry Steam reduced to 40psi. ½ in BSP.
DRAINAGE - The single ¾ in vent outlet pipe can be directed to a nearby drain. For make safe processing the discharge should be directed to a sealed discharge system; the system should lead by direct connection to a building drain or catchment tank.
For more specific advice about your particular installation requirements please contact our Technical Department
All Priorclaves have a 12 months parts and labour warranty (parts
only outside the UK) and a 10 year, 10,000 cycle pressure vessel
warranty.
