The chamber is fully jacketed. The chamber floor is slightly
sloped towards an internal drain to facilitate drainage. A
stainless steel mesh strainer protects the drain port from
blockage by debris. The chamber is mounted on a steel WATER RING VACUUM PUMP
framework which is height adjustable. The vacuum pump effectively removes more than 99% air from
the chamber. The pump is mounted on a damping mechanism

STEAM SUPPLY
The autoclave is supplied with either a steam generator or an
option to connect to building steam supply. A combined option CONTROL SYSTEM
of steam generator and building steam supply is also available. The main board controls and monitors the physical parameters
of the sterilization process and performs the operation
