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 feature considerably shortens sterilization times and effectively avoids overheating.
The MELAG Sterilizer 255 is a proven-reliable dry-heat sterilizer with a fan convector. The inside and outside material is aluminium. The housing is white, with a black-enamel front panel.
