Horizontal Rectangular Autoclave

Material : Stainless steel and suitable for materials like Fermentation media, Buffers, reagents, glassware, plastic wares, and autoclavable Bioreactor.

Door

• Door is fabricated from 304 Maximum operator safety.
• Process-lock to prevent the opening of the door during the process.
• Process-lock to prevent the opening of the door after successful completion of the cycle.

Insulation

The sterilization chamber is insulated with a minimum of 50 mm thick R. B Glass Wool, which is held in place by an outer cover of SS 304. A 0.3- micron vacuum break. Air filter provided on the sterile side for pressure equalization after vacuum creation.

Piping Package

All proess piping in contact with the chamber is fabricated from SS 304 with argon welding. All connections and fittings used are sanitary tri-clamp with silicone seals. All non-contact piping is fabricated from SS 304 with argon welding. All drain lines and exhausts are connected to a drain manifold. The pipelines should have a 2 % slope for full draining to prevent contamination. All pneumatic lines shall be polyurethane with aluminum die-cast connectors.

Valve Package

The process valves in contact with the chamber should be SS 304 contact parts with Teflon seat and tri-clamp connections. All automatic valves are to be pneumatically actuated angle valves. The valves are to be actuated by instrument air controlled via solenoid valves.

Steam Accessories

The jacket and chamber are provided with an over-pressure safety valve. The chamber is provided with a steam trap. The inside of the chamber and doors are to be finished to a surface finish better than the 0.8 Ra value. All other noncontact parts are to be polished to a surface finish better than 180 grit.

Process Management System

The sterilizer is designed to perform a wide range of tests and production programs to meet the latest regulatory requirements.

Temperature and Pressure Sensors

Two sensors are provided, one inside the chamber and one at the drain outlet. For accurate process control and recording, all sensors are connected to the PLC and Recorder. The system must have a least count of 0.10 C. A pressure transmitter to be connected to the chamber. The system should have a pressure least count of 0.002 bars. All utility lines are provided with a pressure switch for generating an alarm in case of utility failure.

Electrical Switchgear

The control cabinet is provided with a main isolator for the three-phase supply and a separate switch for the control supply. The fascia of the control panel is provided with indication LEDs and switches for operation.

Process Recording

All the switchgear: – Schneider do matrix data printer for recording, date, time, process parameters, process status, etc., shall be provided alarms with the machine.

Control Panel

The system is provided with a user-friendly HMI as a front-end user interface. Following minimum attributes shall be provided. RS 232 port for data communication. In-built Real-Time Clock with date and time function.
