Pull-Out Trays
Stainless steel trays equipped with rails for easy loading and unloading.
Loading Carts and Transfer Carriages
The loading cart rolls from the transfer carriage onto the chamber tracks for easy handling of heavy loads. The carriage is equipped with swivel wheels, maximizing mobility in limited space. The wheel breaks prevent the carriage from rolling and the loading cart is equipped with a lock that prevents it from sliding.
Automatic Loader
Designed for loading/unloading. The control of the loader is integrated with the control of the autoclave.
Save water & the environment
Hospital autoclaves consume significant amounts of water using utility resources and increasing operational cost. Customers are increasingly looking for eco-friendly green features. Tuttnauer’s water saving system will make your facility more environmentally-friendly and cost-efficient by saving hundreds of liters of water per cycle.
The AquaMinimal Radiator reduces tap water consumption by as much as 50%, with a powerful radiator system that cools and re-circulates water used by the autoclave.
Most water consumption of an autoclave takes place during effluent cooling via a heat exchanger and during vacuum-pump cooling when generating a vacuum in the chamber. Tuttnauer’s water saving systems reduces the water usage during effluent cooling and vacuum generation thereby making efficient use of water.
