Saturated steam autoclave for pharmaceutical decontamination
Pharmaceutical decontamination processes often involve sterilizing porous products such as lab animal litter, contaminated textiles, and medical devices. Ensuring complete decontamination of these items, whether packaged or unpackaged, requires equipment capable of uniform steam distribution and reliable vacuum cycles.

Conduct pure steam sterilization efficiently
The Saturated Steam Autoclave by Steriflow SAS is designed for thorough decontamination processes in the pharmaceutical industry. This autoclave efficiently sterilizes items like opened bottles, instruments, Petri dishes, and textiles using pure steam. The system begins with an air removal phase using a liquid ring vacuum pump, followed by the introduction of steam at the required pressure for sterilization. These phases are usually repeated 2 to 3 times to ensure complete decontamination. The autoclave features quick refrigeration through internal exchangers and vacuum drying for optimal performance. Constructed with stainless steel 304L or 316L, it is available in diameters ranging from 900 mm to 1300 mm and capacities from 200 liters upward. The control system, managed through GAMP high-performance panels, ensures precision and consistency. Regular maintenance is essential, particularly for components like the liquid ring vacuum pump and inflatable door seal.
