The secrets to extending the service life of Autoclave

Autoclaves are core equipment in laboratories, scientific research, pharmaceutical industries, etc. Their stability and service life directly affect work efficiency and experimental safety. How to use and maintain them scientifically to make the equipment “live longer”? Today, Zealway Autoclave brings you the ultimate guide to extending the service life of autoclaves!

The 6 key points for extending the service life of autoclave

I. Standardized operation to avoid man-made damage

l Operate strictly in accordance with the instruction manual.
l Pay attention to the placement of items during loading to avoid blocking the steam channels.
l Use appropriate sterilization bags/boxes to prevent sharp objects from scratching the inner container.

II. Regular cleaning to prevent scale and impurity accumulation

l Drain the sterilization water in the chamber promptly after each use or at regular intervals.
l Clean the sterilization chamber regularly to prevent scale from affecting heating efficiency.
l Clean the door seal ring to ensure good tightness and avoid steam leakage.

III. Water quality management to reduce equipment corrosion

l It is recommended to use distilled water or deionized water to reduce the deposition of scale and impurities.
l Regularly inspect the water quality to avoid equipment corrosion caused by hard water or excessively high chlorine content.

IV. Regular maintenance to ensure normal operation of components

l Regularly apply high-temperature lubricating grease to moving parts such as door locks and guide rails to reduce wear and tear.
l Inspect key components like pressure gauges, safety valves, and temperature sensors for normal functionality.
l Replace vulnerable parts (such as sealing rings and filters) regularly to avoid performance degradation due to aging.

V. Record equipment operation and maintenance processes

Recording the equipment’s operation status and maintenance processes can help identify potential issues in a timely manner and take corresponding measures for handling. This not only helps extend the equipment’s service life but also improves its operational efficiency, ensuring it operates normally at critical moments.

VI. Proper storage to avoid environmental damage

l When not in use for a long time, empty the water tank and sterilization water in the chamber, and keep them dry to prevent mold growth.
l Store in a ventilated, dry environment free of corrosive gases.
