India's most trusted horizontal cylindrical autoclave — built from SS 316L with zero-joint hydraulically formed end rings, multi-stage pre-vacuum, and PLC touch-screen control. Operating pressure 1.2–2.2 kg/cm². Available 100L to 600L.
The SHIVcare Horizontal Cylindrical High-Pressure High-Vacuum (HPHV) Steam Sterilizer is a medical-grade sterilization system designed for Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSD), operation theatre complexes, and pharmaceutical QC laboratories across India.
Constructed from AISI 316L (Low Carbon) Stainless Steel with hydraulically formed, zero-joint end rings, the chamber eliminates weld-seam failure risk under repeated high-pressure cycling — the most critical design advantage for high-throughput hospital environments. This proprietary end-ring construction is a core differentiator of SHIVcare sterilizers.
The sterilizer operates across a pressure range of 1.2 kg/cm² to 2.2 kg/cm², supporting both the 121°C gravity cycle (for heat-stable instruments) and the 134°C high-vacuum cycle (for porous loads, rubber goods, and wrapped surgical sets).
Automation is delivered through a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with a 7-inch colour touch-screen HMI, enabling fully automated steam-flush pressure-pulse (SFPP) vacuum cycles, real-time temperature and pressure graphing, and tamper-proof electronic batch records — compliant with NABH and CDSCO documentation requirements.
Certified to IS 3829 Part 1 and Part 2 (Bureau of Indian Standards), ISO 13485:2016 quality management, and carrying CE marking for European market eligibility — this sterilizer is suitable for Government e-Marketplace (GEM) tenders, NABH-accredited hospitals, and export to Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
AISI 316L Low-Carbon Stainless Steel ChamberSuperior corrosion resistance to steam condensate and repeated thermal cycling. Lower carbon content prevents sensitisation and inter-granular corrosion.
Zero-Joint Hydraulically Formed End RingsProprietary SHIVcare manufacturing process forms the chamber end-plates hydraulically — eliminating all weld joints on the pressure boundary. No stress concentration points under 2.2 kg/cm² working cycles.
Operating Pressure: 1.2–2.2 kg/cm²Supports 121°C gravity/downward displacement sterilization AND 134°C high-vacuum SFPP cycles on the same unit. Pressure safety valve set at 3.0 kg/cm² design pressure.
Multi-Stage Pre-Vacuum & Post-VacuumOil-sealed rotary vacuum pump achieves residual air below 1 mBar — ensuring 100% steam penetration into porous loads, wrapped instrument sets, and hollow goods.
PLC Touch-Screen Control SystemSiemens S7 or Allen-Bradley PLC with 7-inch TFT colour touch HMI. Pre-validated cycle programs. USB export of complete batch records (time, temperature, pressure graph). Printer interface available.
Temperature Uniformity ±0.5°CSS steam jacket maintains ±0.5°C temperature distribution across the entire chamber during the holding phase — meeting IS 3829 Part 2 uniformity specifications.
Comprehensive Safety InterlocksMechanical and electrical door safety locks, pressure relief valve, dual redundant temperature sensors, over-pressure automatic cut-off, and emergency manual vent — per IS 3829 Part 2.
Bowie-Dick Test & Leak Rate Test CyclesFactory-programmed Bowie-Dick test cycle and automated leak rate test — meeting daily and weekly performance verification requirements of CSSD protocols.
Single & Double-Door OptionsStandard single-door configuration OR full double-door pass-through design for clean/dirty zone separation per CSSD design standards (available on 300L and above).
Validation-Ready DocumentationComplete IQ (Installation Qualification), OQ (Operational Qualification), and PQ (Performance Qualification) documentation provided. Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) available on request.
