Vakulab PL Compact Line

The all-in-one steam sterilizer from MMM.

The Vakulab® PL Compact Line complies with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The sterilizer has been designed for sterilizing solid and porous materials, liquids in open or loosely sealed containers, and infectious waste. It bears the CE marking according to PED.

It has many standard features: maximum width of less than one meter, industrial PLC control system from B&R, smart HMI with 16:9 color touchscreen, vertical door movement, steam-operated door seals for optimal process reliability, separate steam supply to chamber and jacket, large selection of pre-configured standard programs, color-coded pipe insulation, polished chamber surface Ra 1.25 µm, LED chamber lighting, low noise and water saving two stage vacuum system, pneumatically driven steam valves. All pipes, fittings and valves that come into contact with process steam are manufactured from stainless steel. The standards applied are: DIN 58951-2 Steam sterilizers for laboratory use, AD 2000 Design of Pressure Vessels and DIN EN 62304 Medical device software.
