The Sapphire autoclave is a revolution in sliding door autoclave technology. Traditional sliding door machines use a pneumatically operated sliding door and a 'blow out' seal system- which can be inherently problematic.

The Sapphire autoclave is a revolution in sliding door autoclave technology. Traditional sliding door machines use a pneumatically operated sliding door and a 'blow out' seal system- which can be inherently problematic. The Rodwell system uses a hoist operated door and a patented 'clamp system', which physically clamps the door onto the seal. This substantially reduces door seal wear and eliminates air leaks between the door sealing system and the chamber itself. The hoist system does not suffer from 'sticking', as with pneumatically actuated doors.

As with all Rodwell autoclaves, the Sapphire features MP24 control (visit www.rodwell-autoclave.com) for more information.

Available in 5 Formats!

1) Direct Steam Heated- Heating by means of an external steam supply.
2) Direct Steam Heated with Vacuum Air Removal for Porous Loads
3) Electrically Heated by means of a steam generator mounted below the chamber
4) Electrically Heated by means of a pre-heated steam generator for fast heat up times
5) Electrically Heated (as above) with Vacuum Air Removal for porous loads.

4 load capacities!

330
440
550
660 litres

Lots of Standard Equipment: -

-Smart Card Access Control
-24 Program Control which includes 4 instrument drying cycles
-Load activated sterilising as standard (essential for ensuring the load sterilises for the correct time)
-Time free steam
-Delayed Start to maximise productivity
-Stay Warm
-Program Counter
-Real Time Clock
-PT100 chamber + Load probe for accuracy and stability
-Thermal + Pressure Locks plus a ‘Lock Policing System’ for extra security and safety
-Sterilise Cycle Policing to ensure the autoclave has maintained time and temperature.
-Effortless electrically operated sliding door system
-MP24 protection cover
-Complete water cooling jacket. This is most efficient and fastest water cooling system.
-Vacuum versions have a powerful -0.8 bar liquid ring active vacuum air removal system. This is essential for thorough air removal and steam penetration and will ensure that air is removed for the most stubborn porous loads.


Features and Benefits

-Functionality and ease of use of a sliding door autoclave
-Reliability and safety of a conventional hinged and bolted door
-Large Capacity Chamber
-Attractive design to brighten up the dullest of wash up rooms for a better working environment
-Steam extractor (optional), mounted above the door opening within the autoclave package.
-Standard MP24 microprocessor control (see autoclave control section of website)
-Clear sliding cover to protect the MP24 control
-Mounted on Casters for ease of installation
-Service Engineer Friendly- There is plenty of ample space for service engineers to carry out maintenance. This makes for a more reliable autoclave.
