Laboratory sterilizer VS LD

clinicalsteamvertical

Overview
The VS LD series vertical-loading autoclaves are free-standing, compact steam sterilizers designed for laboratory and clinical environments where floor space is limited and reliable sterilization is required.

Design and construction
Hinged door and sterilization chamber manufactured in AISI 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and cleanability. Optional chamber jacket heating and water-ring vacuum pump are available to optimise cycle time and drying performance.

Operational highlights

• Standard sterilization cycles at 121 °C and 134 °C.
• Service and maintenance programs available.
• Optional water-ring vacuum pump for efficient pre-vacuum and post-vacuum phases.
• Optional chamber jacket heating to reduce cycle times and improve drying of solid loads.

User interface and control

• PLC digital microprocessor control for repeatable cycle management.
• 7" colour touch-screen HMI for intuitive operation.
• Up to 20 programmable cycles for application flexibility.

Features

• Compact footprint with high capacity-to-footprint ratio for installation in constrained spaces.
• Independent pressure reference transducer records pressure throughout the entire cycle.
• Multiple cycle and equipment options to match laboratory workflows.

Loading accessories
Lifting device with electronic control and swivel arm for fully assisted loading/unloading. Multiple types and sizes of loading baskets are available to optimise throughput and handling.
