Steam Generators When house steam is unavailable or inadequate, the Consolidated ProGEN™ electric steam generator serves as the steam source. Developed to fit directly below the sterilizer chamber within the chassis, the ProGEN™ is designed to deliver a high rate of steam to the chamber without lag time between cycles. This increased steam capacity accelerates recovery and achieves cycle set-points more quickly to yield the most efficient turn-around time possible. The ProGEN™ includes front-access to open-source heating elements for quick replacement over the life of the sterilizer, as well as: Larger than normal steam capacity, resulting in faster up-time. Large service opening for easy generator maintenance and inspection. Whisper-quiet automatic feed water pump, pressure regulator, and electronic water level control. Standard voltages 208, 240, 380, 480 in single phase or three phase. Capacities from 20 kW to 45 kW. Optional Automatic Blowdown feature. Available for retrofit to existing sterilizer systems.
