Tuttnauer Horizontal Series Large Sterilizer

Large sterilizers for the CSSD available in Universal Dimensions from 120 Liter to 1,015 Liter chamber volumes.

The ever-growing demand for more efficient and advanced hospital, industrial and scientific equipment with higher capacity and better performance, providing safe and effective sterilization, has led to the development of the Tuttnauer's line of Horizontal Sterilizers.

The Horizontal Line is designed to cover a wide range of applications for hospitals and medical facilities. The Horizontal Line operates with saturated steam as the sterilization agent; working at pressures of 0-350 KPa abs and temperatures in the range of 105°C to 137°C.

Special temperature settings are available on request. The sterilization method substantially shortens the sterilization cycle, achieved by evacuating the air with a vacuum pump, combined with steam pulsing. A 0.2µm HEPA Filter is provided to filtrate the air, which equalizes the vessel pressure after the drying cycle.

Tuttnauer offers a large range of sterilizer models, ranging from 120L chamber sizes to 1015L, according to the specific use and nature of product requirements.
