The unique design of the steam generator with high power and automatic desalination ensures short sterilization cycle times and consistently high steam quality.
Unique split two-chamber shell with a new system of filling steam into the sterilization chamber, which reduces the consumption of demi-water and steam by about 20%. The steam generator is controlled by microprocessor automation and it is equipped with an automatic sludge removal device as standard. Quality materials are used during production, guaranteeing a long service life of the device. The device can be optionally equipped with a device for after-cooling of waste water, which allows setting its waste temperature.
The device does not produce any harmful waste. Ecological processing methods are also used in its workshop production. All essential parts of the device and the packaging are recyclable. The device consists of 95% of steel, 4% of other materials, 1% of electrical materials and plastics. Ecological disposal is carried out after disassembly by an authorized person in accordance with EU regulations, which comply with the WEEE (Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment) directive.
