SR-240 adopts pressurized steam sterilization
and pressurized cooling systems
that deliver high performance and achieve
more stable sterilization.
Retort Food Autoclave SR-240 employs a pressurized steam sterilization system that provides constant flow of steam under pressure, and allows more stable sterilization at operating temperatures in the range of 100 to 140°C.
SR-240 adopts a cooling method in which water is introduced into the pressurized chamber during cooling process to prevent a sudden drop in chamber pressure or temperature which can cause damage to retort foods, including canned foods and aluminum foil packed foods.
After turning the main power switch on and setting a sterilization time, the operation cycle progresses automatically through processes of pressurizing, sterilizing, and depressurizing by feeding water into the chamber for cooling.
It is also equipped with pressurized steam sterilization/boiling water sterilization system that is best suited for retort packs.
*The control panel lighting image shown above may vary from actual display.
When the autoclave is turned on, the work monitor simultaneously indicates "Main On". After setting parameters, the monitor displays status indicators of the current working process, including "Sterilizer", "No Water", "Cool", "Exhaust" and "Finish", which provides an at-a-glance monitoring of the operation status.
*The control panel lighting image shown above may vary from actual display.
A water level sensor is electrically responsive to the volume of water inside the chamber. If it detects low water levels, the work monitor on the control panel indicates "No Water".
A safety valve fitted in the front panel allows easy monitoring of its operation status. When the pressure inside the chamber is too high, the safety valve is activated to protect the operator against hazardous conditions.
A safety valve is installed to prevent pressure buildup in the cooling water tank.
It quickly detects abnormalities in the electrical system and protects the operator against electric shock caused by any malfunction such as a short circuit.
