Steam sterilizers provide a cost-effective solution to sterilize medical waste, infectious waste and other material. Steam Sterilizer Equipment not only helps to eliminate the problem of environmental pollution by doing away with methods like incineration but also helps to minimize and eliminate the expense of disposing off untreated medical waste. This sterilizing equipment sterilizes the waste by exposing it to steam under high pressure, thereby making it free of any contaminants. Manufacturers can design customized sterilizers to suit the needs of individual clients and the waste treating capacity varies depending on the size of the plant.
Steam sterilizer is mainly used in Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Food & Beverages and Medical and other Waste Processing Centers. Steam Sterilization is a widely-used method for heat sterilization is the autoclave. Autoclaves commonly use steam heated to 121°C (250°F), at 103 kPa (15 psi) above atmospheric pressure. Proper autoclave treatment will inactivate all fungi, bacteria, viruses and also bacterial spores, which can be quite resistant. It will not necessarily eliminate all proteinaceous infectious particles (prions).
