Tuttnauer - 44 and 55 Compact Series
by Tuttnauer

The 44 and 55 autoclave series is designed to cover a large range of applications for laboratories, research institutes and biotechnology facilities. The autoclave series has a chamber volume range from 120 litres to 310 litres.
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 AMSE and PED requirements. Each autoclave model is available with either single or double door.
Tuttnauer's laboratory autoclaves are designed to meet BL3 and BL4 bio-safety levels. Furthermore, a Bio-Hazard system allows for an effluent decontamination cycle that sterilizes contaminated laboratory waste.

Door Safety
A safety device prevents the operator from opening the door when chamber is pressurized
Steam is not allowed into the chamber when the door is open
A cycle will not start if the door is open or not properly closed
The door cannot open until chamber pressure reaches room pressure
Sliding Door Safety -The sliding door progress will automatically stop if an obstruction is detected
Double Door Safety – interlocks prevent both doors from being opened simultaneously
General Safety Features:
Double Independent Monitoring: The combined digital and mechanical monitoring provides a cross reference and guarantees accurate results. The operator has two independent means to monitor temperature and pressure.
Safety Valves: Both the chamber and the jacket are equipped with safety valves –if the pressure exceeds the allowed limit the safety valves will discharge.
Built-in Steam Generator Safety: A water level monitoring system maintains a constant water level and ensures safe operation of the heaters.
Emergency Shut-Off: Easily accessible emergency switches for immediate and safe shut down of the sterilizer.
