Steam sterilisers of the HG Series for professional applications

The HG Series with Steam Generator was developed for applications requiring a reliable steam supply directly within the unit. Thanks to the integrated steam generator, the sterilisers operate independently of an external steam supply and offer high flexibility in installation. The units sterilise instruments, laboratory glassware, media, and other heat-resistant materials in accordance with requirements in medicine, pharmacy, and research.

Chamber volume and design

The HG Series is available in two chamber volumes: The HG 50 steam steriliser offers a 50-litre usable volume, while the HG 80 is equipped with 80 litres. The HG 80 model also features integrated rapid cooling, which shortens cycle times and allows for quick removal of the sterilised goods. Both units are designed as floor-standing models and are suitable for central sterilisation areas.

Fully automatic microprocessor control

All steam sterilisers in the HG Series are equipped with a fully automatic microprocessor control. This allows for the selection and execution of 12 pre-set programmes covering various sterilisation tasks. The control system continuously monitors temperature, pressure, and time to ensure reproducible sterilisation processes. Operation is carried out via a clear control console that guides the user through the process.

Areas of application for the HG Series

The steam sterilisers with steam generator are used in microbiological laboratories, hospital pharmacies, pharmaceutical production facilities, biotechnological institutes, and medical facilities. Typical applications include the sterilisation of culture media, glassware, instruments, textiles, and other heat-resistant laboratory utensils. Due to the independent steam generation, the units are particularly suitable for locations without a central steam supply.

Selection criteria for steam sterilisers with steam generator

When selecting a unit from the HG Series, the required chamber volume and throughput are decisive. For regular sterilisation of larger batches or for applications where short cycle times are important, the HG 80 model with rapid cooling is recommended. The number and type of required programmes should be tailored to the planned sterilisation tasks. The availability of 12 pre-set programmes allows for flexible adaptation to different materials and process requirements.

Frequently asked questions about HG Series steam sterilisers

The following answers typical questions about steam sterilisers with a steam generator.

What are HG Series steam sterilisers used for?

HG Series steam sterilisers are used for the sterilisation of laboratory glassware, instruments, culture media, textiles, and other heat-resistant materials in laboratories, clinics, pharmacies, and research facilities. Due to the integrated steam generator, the units operate independently of an external steam supply.

Which chamber volume is suitable for my needs?

For medium throughput and flexible sterilisation tasks, the HG 50 with 50 litres is suitable. For larger batches, higher throughput, or if short cycle times via rapid cooling are required, the HG 80 with 80 litres is the appropriate choice.

What does the fully automatic microprocessor control do?

The microprocessor control monitors and regulates temperature, pressure, and time throughout the entire sterilisation cycle. It allows for the selection of 12 pre-set programmes and ensures reproducible, validatable sterilisation processes with automatic process management.

What are the differences between the HG 50 and HG 80?

The main difference lies in the chamber volume: the HG 50 offers 50 litres, while the HG 80 offers 80 litres. Additionally, the HG 80 features integrated rapid cooling, which shortens cycle times and allows for faster removal of the sterilised goods.

What accessories are useful for the HG Series?

For steam sterilisers, loading baskets, container racks, and special holders for different sterilised goods are useful. Furthermore, validation accessories, temperature recorders, or data loggers can be used to document sterilisation processes.

How do I receive a quote for an HG Series steam steriliser?

A quote for HG Series steam sterilisers can be requested via the specialist dealer. Information regarding the intended use, desired chamber volume, and any special requirements should be provided to receive tailored advice.

How is the validation of sterilisation processes carried out?

Validation is carried out in accordance with relevant standards and guidelines through temperature measurements at defined points in the sterilised goods, the use of biological indicators, and documentation of process parameters via the microprocessor control. The 12 pre-set programmes allow for standardised and traceable process management.
