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.
This new MELAG model, the dry-heat Sterilizer 205,
is the successor model to the MELAG Type 221/225 and 211/215
dry-heat sterilizers, which were extremely successful over
decades of sales and use. The MELAG Sterilizer 205
features a highly effective fan convection system, which
guarantees a maximum of sterilization reliability and safety
with shorter overall operation periods. This performance is
achieved because the fan convector especially fast and reliably
enables complete exchange of heat. Although the MELAG
Sterilizer 205 – like its predecessor models – can also
hold 6 trays, it is considerably more compact, with the
resulting saving of space for the user. The interior
compartment, like the outside housing, consists of stainless
steel. After the timer switch is turned on, the sterilization
process begins to run fully automatically, and the power
automatically cuts off when the cycle is complete. The
temperature can be infinitely variably set between 60°C and
200°C.
