The Ultimate Sliding Door Autoclave Consolidated Sterilizer Systems is excited to announce the newest additions to our product line, the 26AV and 26BV vertical sliding door sterilizers. The new models include ergonomic, safety, and engineering features that can’t be matched by the competition. Click on the autoclave below to read about the features behind the CSS EZ-Glide™ Advantage. plus 2. EZ-Glide™ Vertical Sliding Door Smooth, safe, and easy to use, this automatic power door may also be manually operated in the event of a power failure. The use of counterweights and pneumatic actuators reduce the complexity of the door mechanism and avoids maintenance issues that commonly arise with motors, hydraulics, or water pistons. plus 3. Door Seal Never worry about sticky doors and jams. An abrasion-resistant, non-stick gasket prevents door jams. plus 4. Pulley Mechanism Unlike other vertical door autoclaves, the EZ-Glide sterilizer features low mounted pulleys strategically positioned to reduce wear and tear that can result from steam corrosion. plus 5. Consolidated ProGEN™ Electric Steam Generators Our generators deliver a high rate of steam without lag time between cycles. The increased steam capacity accelerates recovery and achieves cycle set-points more quickly. Also, a large service opening allows for easier maintenance and inspection. For more information on ProGEN™ generators, check out this webpage. plus 6. Door Seal The door gasket is actuated by air instead of steam. This feature extends gasket life and provides a secure door even in the event of a total power loss or component failure. If facility air is not available, Consolidated will supply a Whisper Quiet Air Compressor. Unlike other air compressors, the Whisper Quiet operates at 35dB (the volume of a conversation). plus 7. Hinged Front Panels A hinged front panel allows for easy and full access to internal components from the front. This reduces the space required to service the autoclave. plus 8. WaterEco Water Savings Systems Traditional autoclaves waste an extraordinary amount of water through effluent cooling. Our WaterEco® series is designed to reduce water consumption, thereby lowering operational costs and contributing to the building’s LEED Certification. Calculate your potential savings here.
12.10.25 Introducing SterilSteam Sampler, The Steam Condensate Sampler for AAMI ST108 Compliance → Released in 2023, AAMI/ANSI ST108 establishes water quality requirements for water used in the cleaning, rinsing, disinfection, and sterilization of reusable medical devices.
