Types of Autoclave

Autoclave is one of the most important invention in the field of Medical instrument and scientific equipment. Autoclaves are designed for various applications in different industries.

• Food Industry – Sterilization of wrapped goods
• Pharmaceutical industry – Sterilization of Culture media
• Hospitals – Sterilization of surgical instruments and patient cloths
• Bio medical Waste organization – Sterilization of bio medical waste before incineration
• R & D Labs – Used for De-Pyrogenation of Glassware’s

All Types of autoclaves works on the principle of steam pressure and Steam temperature for sterilization but different autoclave has different functions.
Yatherm Offers all types of Autoclaves used in the industries.

Horizontal Autoclave

This device is known as high speed high pressure autoclave which saves your time by heating the chamber at very fast rate. This is front loading machine saves your user time who loads many cycles for your operation theater. It gives completely dry & sterilized product

Double Door Autoclave

When you need completely safe products you should go with a pass through autoclave. Pass through autoclave or double door autoclaves have one sterile door and rear door is non sterile door. User place goods from one door for sterilization and take sterile goods in other room from Rear door. Operation Theater, Clean room & manufacturing unit design unit according to the pass through autoclave for easy sterilization.

Vertical Autoclave

Vertical Autoclave is compact & specially designed for laboratory which has space constraint. Vertical autoclave is easy to install, easy to use, easy to move anywhere in lab and easy to validate. Autoclaves have many models like Economy models, 21 CFR compliance model, GMP models, and Triple Walled Model. These autoclaves can manage sterilization of bottles of culture media and laboratory glass wares. Vertical autoclaves used for class N type sterilization.

Class B Autoclave

Class B Autoclaves are equipped with vacuum pump for pre vacuum and post vacuuming. It is designed for wrapped goods like patient cloths, bed sheet and packed surgical instruments. It gives complete dry and sterilize product because it removes complete cold moisture from the Chamber. It is recommended for dentist & operation theaters in Hospitals.

We receive many queries for customized design and customized sizes most importantly of temperature and pressure controller. Feel free to ask your queries 24 x 7 on whats app, email or telephonically. We are known for great after sales support.

For choosing best furnace according to your requirement first you need to know about your working temperature range.

Muffle furnaces are designed according to the given temperature range.

• 50-900 degrees – Muffle type Chamber
• 50-1100 degree – Tile Chamber
• 50 – 1450 degree –Board Chamber
• 100-1700 degree – Ceramic Board Chamber
• 100-1800 degree – Ceramic Board Chamber

For the safety of user you have to have good quality insulation. There are many kind of insulation available in market& few are given below.

• Glass Wool Insulation – This is not recommended for safety of user
• Brick Insulation – Not recommended
• Zirconia Fiber Board 1400 – Density 200-600kg/m3
• Ceramic Fiber Board 1700 – Density: 300-600kg/m3
• Ceramic Fiber Board 1800 – Density: 350-600kg/m3

We always recommend for ceramic fiber board for zero skin temperature with long life of machinery and user safety.

Controller plays important role in selection of a Lab Muffle furnace.  Choose your controller according to your requirement.

• PID controller –PID controller have auto tune facility with double and single display have set value and present value options.
• Programmable controller (Profile Controller) – This is the advance version of PID controller which has RAMP Rate & Soaking time setting, It also shows remaining time in a set program.
• PLC with HMI – PLC is a controlling device with HMI display for better user experience. PLC has programming, data logging, Chart facility, Graph, RS 232, USB port, 7 inches digital display, 50 stored program.

Electrical components for power supply to heating elements.

• SSR – Solid State relay
• SCR – Silicon Controlled Rectifier
• Thyristor
• Transformer

We always recommend Thyristor for furnace instead of SSR and transformer because of many advantages like proper electrical supply to heating elements, Temperature accuracy & low power consumption.

Keep all the above points in mind before buying a muffle furnace.  Laboratory Muffle furnace outer construction, door opening and design is also one of the parameter to keep in mind. Heating elements & thermocouple will be fitted according to the temperature range of the furnace.
