100L - 400L Autoclave
Front-Loading Autoclaves

External USB Port for easy uploading and downloading for logging and remote maintenance and updates.

Protects sensitive loads from contamination from the outside air drawn in as the autoclave cools.

Automatically re-fills the autoclave chamber while the door is open ready for the next cycle. Requires a water supply. (Fitted as standard to electrically heated vacuum models)

As a UKAS accredited Laboratory Priorclave can provide annual or bi-annual calibration of your autoclave at one or more temperatures. Following successful calibration a UKAS certificate is issued.

Particularly useful for product testing, this option allows the autoclave to run one cycle after the other without stopping. The total number of cycles can be set from the control panel. For electrically heated Priorclaves a water supply is required. (Not suitable for Distilled, Ultra Pure or RO water supplies.)

Manual override of Double Door Interlock for Pass-Through Priorclaves – Allows operation from either end and single ended operation

Controls distortion of semi-rigid containers, pouches and blister-packs as the autoclave cools by pressurising the autoclave chamber with air, balancing the internal pressure inside the containers, pouches or blister packs. In autoclaves with water cooling jackets it controls volume losses when rapidly cooling liquid loads. Requires an extremal air supply at a minimum pressure of 3 BarG.

On rectangular profile Priorclaves all autoclave exhaust is directed through a 0.2 micron HEPA filter mounted inside the autoclave chamber. The filter is easily accessed for regular changing.

Accelerated Media Cooling – can reduce cooling times for liquid loads by up to 50% (Depending on load size and type volume loss may exceed 5%). Requires a minimum 5 program memory and Performance testing to set up the cycle parameter. Includes an air intake filter.

Electrically Heated Priorclaves require soft water with a conductivity of a minimum of 100 micro Siemens to work correctly. Various adaptations can be made to pipe work, fittings and water detection systems for Ultra pure water supplies if required.

Includes Tactrol Self Monitoring, Mechanical Cycle Counter and other options according to model to assist with the requirements of some health service installations.

Controls distortion of semi-rigid containers, pouches and blister-packs as the autoclave cools by pressurising the autoclave chamber with air, balancing the internal pressure inside the containers, pouches or blister packs. Includes a quiet running air compressor mounted, where possible, inside the autoclave body.

Where a drain is not available the autoclave exhaust is collected outside the autoclave for periodic disposal. Not suitable for vacuum models or sterilising waste / discard loads.

Form X Pressure Test Certification – Individually witnessed Hydrostatic Test with stamped certificate. MUST be requested at time of purchase.

Allows the operator to quickly shut down all autoclave functions in case of an emergency. Fitted as standard to all Power Door Priorclaves

Reduces overall cycle time by including time spent at high temperatures during heating and cooling in each cycle. Most suitable for standard, repeated loads.

Factory Acceptance test carried out with the customer at Priorclave’s factory after manufacture and before despatch.

The autoclave or autoclaves are built into a separate plant room area behind stainless steel panelling.

Allows easy connection and integration to an internal computer network for remote monitoring and storage of records.

Backup thermostatic protection for the autoclave’s low water detection system.

Extension legs fitted to the autoclave allowing easy cleaning underneath the autoclave

Autoclave installation by Priorclave trained technicians to pre-installed drains, water and electrical supplies.

Preparation of detailed IQ/OQ Documentation for testing purposes

Guarantees sterilising times by delaying the sterilising start time until a temperature sensor placed in the load has heated to sterilisation temperature.

A manually operated valve is fitted to allow the autoclave vessel to be drain for regular cleaning.

Provides a mechanical backup to the autoclave control system’s built in cycle counter.

Mounting stand where no suitable bench is available. Includes a storage shelf below the autoclave.

PIN number identification of operators for each cycle. This information is recorded in the autoclave cycle log.

The autoclave is manufactured with the door hinged on the right, rather than the standard left hand side. This option can enable the autoclave to be installed in otherwise unusable spaces. Must be specified at time of ordering.

As a UKAS accredited Laboratory Priorclave can provide performance testing for your autoclave. Cycles with a specified number of loads are run and logged with multiple temperature sensors around the load and autoclave chamber. From the test results the cycle can be optimised to achieve sterilisation in the shortest possible cycle time. Following successful testing a UKAS certificate is issued.

Improves reliability and operation of complex Priorclaves. The standard electrical valves are replaced with pneumatically operated valves. Requires an air supply or alternatively a small quiet air compressor can be installed inside the body of the autoclave.

Provides a temperature record of autoclave cycles independent of the autoclave control system onto a paper chart. Unless otherwise specified a fixed temperature probe is fitted. Multi-channel versions are also available.

Provides a temperature and pressure record of autoclave cycles independent of the autoclave control system. Cycle records are graphically displayed and saved to a log file. Unless otherwise specified a fixed temperature probe is fitted along with a pressure transducer. Further recording channels can be provided along with the option of an Ethernet port for connection to a computer network.

Provides a temperature record of autoclave cycles independent of the autoclave control system onto a paper chart. Unless otherwise specified a fixed temperature probe is fitted. Multi-channel versions are also available.

The autoclave is fitted with an external serial communication interface socket for connection to a suitable PC or laptop. The package includes a serial cable and software.

Tamper proofing of program settings for single program Priorclaves – Included on models fitted with multi-program memory options.

For 100 to 200L Priorclaves where a three phase supply is not available the autoclave can be wired to run at two thirds heating power from a single phase power supply rated at 32A. Should a three phase supply become available at a later time the autoclave can quite easily be re-wired for re-connection.

For Steam Heated autoclaves this allows the autoclave to continue to be used when external steam is not available.

Control and other valves required to supply a Steam Heated Priorclave with dry saturated steam at the correct pressure from an external steam supply. The autoclave is not fitted with this but if there is an existing steam supply set in place this can be used to supply the autoclave’s steam.

Provides an additional level of control protection. The Tactrol system scans all input channels to detect abnormalities and will abort the cycle with a displayed, logged and printed fault code and description if one is detected.

Tactrol Touch Control System – Full colour Touch Screen Control System with all the usual Priorclave Tactrol control system features in touch screen format.

Ion Exchange water softening system which provides water of the correct quality to run the Priorclave – requires regular refilling with salt to maintain water quality.

Stainless Steel wire mesh basket for autoclaving bottles and other small items.
