The horizontal sterilizer uses saturated steam to sterilize. When the steam condenses, it releases a large amount of latent heat, making the sterilized items in a high-temperature and humid state. After a certain period of time, all bacteria and spore tissues are destroyed to achieve the purpose of sterilization. Widely used in medical, food, pharmaceutical, and other industries and research institutes. Disinfect surgical instruments, dressings, drugs, culture medium, food, etc.

Maintenance of horizontal sterilizer:

1. Wipe the surface of the sterilizer door and instruments every day, and clean the floor of the sterilization room at least once.

2. Clean up the impurities in the filter screen of the outlet of the sterilizer every day to prevent impurities from entering the exhaust pipe during the operation of the sterilizer.

3. Before running every day, check whether the door seal of the sterilizer is flat and intact, without falling off or damaged.

4. Check the accuracy of the instrument pointer every day, observe whether the pointers of the thermometer and pressure gauge are at the "0" position after the sterilizer stops running; observe whether the steam, water and other medium pipes and valves are leaking; observe the operation indicator of the sterilizer Whether it is in good condition; once the above parts are found to have problems, do not use the sterilizer, and use it after maintenance and repair.

5. Clean and wipe the sterilizer every week, and wipe thoroughly.

6. Clean the outside of the sterilization equipment quarterly to avoid dust accumulation and shorten the service life of the air filter. Avoid contact of components with water. Once the damp water dries up, you can turn on the power.

7. Check every quarter whether the sockets and connectors connected are loose, and the loose ones should be plugged tightly.

8. Clean the surface of the safety valve every 6 months.

9. Check and clean the steam line filter once a week, and record the results.

10. The sterilizer is inspected once a year, and the safety valve, pressure gauge, and thermometer are inspected at least once a year, and the inspection results are recorded and saved. Air filters should be replaced regularly.

Structural features:

The main body of the horizontal sterilizer  is a closed double-layer structure. Consists of a sterilization chamber and a steam jacket. The external steam directly enters the jacket through the electromagnetic pressure-reducing valve, and when the steam fills the jacket, the wall of the sterilizer is also heated. A solenoid valve is installed between the sterilization chamber and the jacket. During operation, as long as the "ENT" switch of the sterilization controller is pressed, the pressure steam will enter the sterilization chamber from the jacket through the solenoid valve. At the same time, it can also meet the requirements of preheating and drying sterilized items.
