Dry-heat sterilizer |
|
|
The principle of
dry-heat sterilization at 180°C represents a sterilization
procedure which is recognised in DIN 58947. Hot air can
effectively sterilize all objects made of inorganic substances:
e.g., metal, glass, porcelain, earthenware, enamel, and the
like.
The disadvantage of the dry-heat method, however, is the fact
that a temperature of 180°C is required for such sterilization:
whereas only 120°C (at 1 bar) or 134°C (at 2 bar) is required
for steam sterilization in autoclaves.

The generations of conventional dry-air sterilizers used until
now provided for heat exchange by strictly thermal means. As a
result, hygienic specialists have for years claimed that this
process endangers sterilization effectiveness because of the
“cold-air pockets” which result from the characteristic inherent
to these systems. For this reason, all MELAG dry-heat
sterilizers feature fan convection. This means that a blower
provides fast and complete heat exchange throughout the entire
sterilization space. This features considerably shortens
sterilization times and effectively avoids overheating.
The new MELAG
Sterilizer 75 meets our customers’ requirements for a
compact and cost-effective device. To enable a sturdy
construction and long service life, the Sterilizer 75 is
made of high-quality stainless steel. The interior is also made
of stainless steel and therefore conforms to the strictest
international standards. The fan convection system means
significant reduction in sterilization times in the doctor’s
daily practice: down to as fast as only 60 minutes for normal
loads.
It is possible to regulate the temperature of the MELAG
Sterilizer 75 on a continuously variable basis, from 60°C to
180°C. The device is furnished with a timer switch. After
switching on, the sterilization cycle proceeds fully
automatically, with switch-off of power at the end of the cycle.

Despite its
compact outside dimensions, the MELAG Sterilizer 75 can
hold two large aluminium trays (29 x 19 cm). This sterilizer is
available with Tray Mount 1 (for 2 trays) and/or with Tray Mount
2 (for 1 large aluminium cassette, or for 1 tray). These Tray
Mounts can be quickly and easily interchanged.
