- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, internal chamber volumes commonly range from 200 to 400 litres, accommodating multiple racks.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a significant power draw for heating elements.
- Construction material
- Pharmaceutical-grade 316L stainless steel is standard for all wetted parts and the chamber, ensuring corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.
- Cleaning stages
- These washers commonly feature multiple programmable stages, including pre-wash, main wash with detergents, rinse cycles, and often a final purified water rinse.
- Drying capabilities
- Many units incorporate hot air drying systems, often with HEPA filtration, to ensure items are dry and ready for use or further processing.
- Control system
- Microprocessor-controlled systems with user-friendly interfaces are typical, allowing for customisable programs and cycle parameter monitoring.
- Compliance
- Equipment in this category is generally designed to meet cGMP requirements, with features supporting validation protocols.
