--

There are 2 types of horizontal autoclaves. A cylindrical shaped and the other one being of rectangular shape. Read below.
Horizontal Autoclave Types

Horizontal Autoclaves come in 2 shapes. One is a rectangular-version and other one being of a cylindrical-shape. Main function of autoclaves or sterilizers is to sterlize the tools/items after they have been used. It prevents the risk if unwanted infections. During the operation process the temperature and pressure inside the autoclave chamber reaches a stage where it is not possible for organic life to survive. A temperature of over 120 degrees combined with a pressure of around 20 psi is an inhospitable environment for bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms that otherwise can’t be eliminated unless a strong alcohol based chemical is used(something that doesn’t guarantee 100% protection).

Different Capacities of horizontal autoclaves

While the range of cylindrical versions start at 75 litres, just about the full capacity range of vertical autoclaves. The range of their horizontal shaped counterparts starts at around 180 litres. It becomes clear that with no change in technical specifications, they are designed differently to ensure easy entry and takeout of sterilized products. Large capacity ensure that a lot of items can be sterilized in one go which is neccessary in case of large hospitals, trauma centers. The cylindrical shaped ones are good for medium usage such as research labs and test centers or small hospitals.
