AMSCO Evolution Floor Loader - Large Steam Sterilizer - Large Autoclave

With the highest capacity in its class, the AMSCO Evolution Floor Loader steam sterilizer (autoclave) provides unparalleled throughput. This large autoclave’s chamber is wide enough to accommodate larger instrument sets and can process up to 625 pounds per cycle in the 72" model.

How Does the AMSCO Evolution Floor Loader Work?

These large steam sterilizers are configured for prevacuum sterilization of heat and moisture-stable materials used in healthcare facilities. These units are equipped with prevacuum, gravity, liquid, Dart (Bowie-Dick) and vacuum leak test cycles. Optional Steam Flush Pressure Pulse (SFPP) cycle can be added. All plumbing components of the large autoclave are mounted to a freestanding, modular rack which connects to the core sterilizer assembly during installation.

Why Choose the AMSCO Evolution Floor Loader Steam Sterilizer?

The Evolution Floor Loader's unique design promotes efficiency, with a fully jacketed chamber promotes even chamber heating to minimize condensation. The 26" wide chamber facilitates easy loading and unloading. The Evolution's control displays crystal clear, high-resolution graphics to keep the reprocessing team aware of the steam sterilization cycle progress. The autoclave is Ethernet-enabled allowing one touch operation to run cycles, review cycle data performance, or to custom configure the system

Additional features of the AMSCO Evolution Floor Loader are:

12 Programmable Cycles - Gravity, Prevacuum, Liquid and optional Steam Flush Pressure Pulse (SFPP)
Easy loading equipment enhances ergonomics and supports staff safety
A single cart processes up to 15, 25 pound trays; double cart system processes up to 25, 25 pound trays
