Sterilizer With Dryer 47L Overview
This SM501 runs on 115V; the matching SM511 covers 220V installations. Yamato lists external dimensions (W × D × H) of 440 × 530 × 1088 mm (17.3 × 20.9 × 42.8 in); packed for shipping it measures 36 × 36 × 54 in at 271 lb.
Key Features
- Sterilization plus drying: high-pressure steam sterilization followed by an automatic drying step delivers samples ready to use right after the cycle.
- Interactive key control: an interactive key input system runs every stage from sterilization through drying without manual intervention.
- Adjustable drying: drying temperature sets to suit sample material and quantity, with a timer range of 1 to 999 hours.
- Front-panel serviceability: drain bottle water level reads on a front indicator, and the drain valve mounts up front for quick access.
- Self-diagnostics: built-in self-diagnostic functions make operation safer and speed error recovery.
- Safe exhaust: a condensation collector neutralizes high-temperature exhaust steam before release.
How to Choose the Right Sterilizer / Autoclave
Matching an autoclave to your workload means weighing chamber size, process capability, and site power against the loads you run daily. Use these axes to confirm fit before issuing a PO.
- Temperature range: a 105 to 128°C sterilizing range and 150 to 180°C drying range determine which media, glassware, and instruments you can process.
- Drying capability: integrated drying returns samples ready to use immediately, which matters when turnaround drives throughput.
- Voltage: confirm 115V versus 220V against your bench circuit before ordering to avoid an installation mismatch.
- Footprint and weight: Yamato lists external dimensions (W × D × H) of 440 × 530 × 1088 mm (17.3 × 20.9 × 42.8 in); packed for shipping it measures 36 × 36 × 54 in at 271 lb.
- Safety features: self-diagnostics and a condensation collector for exhaust steam support safer daily operation.
