    Innovative automatic safety door lock

    Easy and safe. When the autoclave lid is closed, the lid is automatically locked by a circumferential ring system. A special lip seal made of heat resistant silicone provides reliable sealing. As steam pressure builds within the sterilizer, the seal becomes tighter.

    The lid also opens easily – either at the push of a button or automatically at the end of a sterilization cycle.

    The door-locking system on this benchtop autoclave, is temperature dependent and adheres to national and international safety standards. The door remains locked as long as there is excess pressure in the chamber. The lid, like other parts of the pressure vessel and housing, is made of stainless steel. The modern design faceplate, which also contains the control panel, display and part of the control technology, is made of heat resistant and insulated plastic. There is no risk of the autoclave operator coming into contact with hot components.

    autoclave steam

    Steam generation

    A steam generator is incorporated in the sterilizer housing providing substantial benefits:

    • No heating elements and no reservoir for dirty water in the chamber
    • With stand-by pre-heating option, only 10 min. heating time to 121° C with an empty chamber
    • Improved removal of air from the empty chamber via pulsed heating (rapid attainment of optimal steam atmosphere, even without a vacuum)
    • Accuracy better than ± 0.5 C with empty chamber
    • Quicker cooling as neither the hot water in the chamber nor the separate steam generator need to be cooled
    • After cooling, steam is immediately available for the next sterilization run.
     

    Pressure-safe up to 5 bar/150 °C

    The Systec D-Series benchtop autoclave units are the first of its kind to be designed for higher pressures and temperatures. The standard pressure sterilizer chamber is designed for 5 bar/150 °C. If the expanded pressure and temperature model is selected as an option, all control and safety components are adapted to the higher temperature and pressure. This option may be retrofitted to existing D- series benchtop autoclave units.

    Systec D-Series benchtop autoclaves are equipped direct from the factory for sterilization temperatures up to 140 °C and 4 bar of pressure.

    autoclave quality

    Quality materials quality manufacturing

    The pressure vessel is made of corrosion-resistant electro-polished stainless steel 1.4571 (V4A) AISI 316 Ti and therefore very easy to clean. The benchtop autoclave framework and housing are also made of stainless steel. The highly efficient, high-quality Hanno-Tect insulation material releases no particles and therefore the Systec D-Series sterilizer is ideal for use in clean room environments

    Exhaust steam is condensed automatically via a PT 100-regulated cooling system. This prevents odors and protects waste water piping.

     

    Controls – new generation

    The Systec D-Series benchtop autoclave units have “comprehensive intelligence”: Pressure is controlled via an electronic pressure transducer. Additionally, there is a flexible temperature sensor in the sterilization chamber or in a reference vessel (for liquids) and another sensor at the coldest part of the chamber, the condensate outlet. The microprocessor, specially developed for our laboratory autoclave, controls all relevant functions such as steam pressure, temperature and sterilization time as well as optional rapid cooling, pre / post-vacuum and drying.

    All process data is automatically saved in the internal memory. The storage capacity is sufficient for complete documentation for at least ten years.

    Innovative and fully automatic security door lock

    Easy and safe - once pressed on, the door is automatically closed by a circumferential locking ring. A special lip seal made of heat-resistant silicone ensures a reliable seal, which seals more tightly the more the pressure in the sterilization chamber increases. Without the need for additional compressed air or other auxiliary media! The quick-release door lock is temperature-dependent - in accordance with DIN EN (IEC) 61010-2-040. As long as there is excess pressure in the sterilization chamber, the door remains locked. This means there is no risk of coming into contact with hot parts.

    Adjustable automatic door opening at the end of the program

    The door opens automatically - either at the touch of a button or automatically at the end of the program (adjustable). Simple, but extremely useful in practice! Especially when materials have to cool down or dry after autoclaving, this automatic door opening makes the work process easier. The residual steam escapes without further action and without interrupting work. The residual heat is used to dry the items to be sterilized, which remain in the autoclave for a short time. The automatic door opening is limited to an angle of approx. 15° so that there is no risk of contamination from the outside. The door is then opened fully by hand to remove the items to be sterilized.

    Housing, support frame and pressure vessel made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel

    Safety and quality of the devices

    We place great importance on safety and quality when developing and manufacturing our appliances. Strict quality standards apply right from the selection and processing of individual components and are continuously monitored throughout production. Each component is tested individually before it is installed in the appliance.

    In addition, we subject every appliance to comprehensive functional tests at a specially equipped test station to ensure that it meets the high requirements of practical use at all times. These measures are supplemented by long-term testing of components under realistic load conditions to ensure a consistently high level of quality and maximum operational reliability.

    Extended temperature and pressure range

    Our pressure vessels are not only designed to meet current standards, but are also engineered to handle more demanding conditions. They are suitable for temperatures up to 150 °C and absolute pressures up to 5 bar. This robust design helps extend the service life of the equipment by reducing material stress and delaying material fatigue. This approach not only enables standard processes to be carried out safely, but also allows for the reliable and efficient implementation of more complex applications in research and industry.

    Safety quick-coupling

    A special feature of our autoclaves is the innovative locking ring system on the pressure lid. In contrast to conventional punctual closures, the circumferential locking ring ensures even force distribution and therefore particularly stable locking. Integrated sensors continuously monitor this closure and ensure that the pressure chamber remains absolutely tight at all times. This system combines mechanical robustness with intelligent monitoring and thus offers maximum safety throughout operation.

    Process quality through precise control and regulation technology

    The proprietary Systec control system is a finely tuned combination of in-house software, state-of-the-art sensors, and innovative control technology. It enables precise regulation of all relevant process parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and time. As a result, process quality remains consistently high even during long or complex operations. At the same time, the precise control and regulation technology enables seamless reproducibility of processes, ensuring full validatability. This means that our equipment can be used to reliably perform not only functional qualifications but also performance qualifications—a decisive advantage when it comes to regulatory requirements such as GLP, GMP, or FDA standards.

    Modularity for maximum flexibility

    When developing and manufacturing our products, we ensure that they are designed with a modular structure, offering maximum flexibility. All products can be customized and tailored precisely to your specific process requirements.

    Thanks to this modular design, retrofitting is also possible at any time: any option can be integrated at a later date by our service technicians or authorized partners.

    This allows the equipment to be adapted to new requirements without the need for a complete replacement. This reduces acquisition costs, safeguards the investment in the long term, and ensures that our equipment can always be used to its full potential, even in a changing environment.

    Usability and ergonomics

    Another focus in the development of our devices is on user-friendliness. Touch operation is intuitive and clearly laid out so that users can work with the devices quickly and safely. The controls are available in numerous European and non-European languages, which further simplifies operation.

    The ergonomic design also contributes to the high level of user-friendliness: Displays are optimally arranged, surfaces are easy to clean and the loading edges and extensive accessories are designed so that loading and unloading can be carried out effortlessly and without additional strain.
