PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 44 Compact Series with Hinged Door

This autoclave series is designed to cover a large field of

applications for hospitals, CSSD and medical centers.

The autoclave series has a chamber volume range from 120

liters to 310 liters.

The autoclave operates with saturated steam as the sterilizing

agent with a temperature range from 105 °C (221°F) to 137 °C
(279 °F) and a working pressure that meets ASME and PED
requirements. The autoclave is equipped with an 18kW
integral electrical steam generator which supplies the
necessary steam for the sterilization process. The sterilizer
may also be steam fed from an external steam source.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
44 and 55 Compact Sterilizer Series
The sterilizer is surrounded by a frame which serves as a
preparation for a cross-contamination seal made of Neoprene
sheet that is attached between the frame and the wall at site.

Water Recycling System

This system recycles water necessary for the heat exchanger
to cool down the steam exhaust from the chamber. The water
saving system recycles the water and reuses it. Tuttnauer's
water saving system saves more than 50% of the tap water
used.
