HouYuan Autoclave normally is High Pressure Steam Type Autoclave Sterilizer which widely be used in hospital, laboratory, dental clinic, scientific research institution, pharmaceuticals area, food industry to sterilize surgical, dental instruments, glassware medicine, culture medium biological dressing, food etc.

Autoclave sterilization works by using heat to kill microorganisms such as bacteria and spores.

The heat is delivered by high pressurized steam. Pressurization allows the steam to reach the high temperatures that are required for sterilization.

According to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Guidelines for Disinfection and Sterilization of Healthcare Facilities, high pressurized steam is the most widely used and dependable method of sterilization.

It’s nontoxic and inexpensive, it kills microbes and spores rapidly, and it quickly heats and penetrates fabrics.

According to manufacturer HouYuan Medical, dental and small clinicstypically use tabletop autoclaves and portable autoclaves, the relevant autoclave capacity can be 16L to 50L, tabletop autoclave normally isabout the size of a microwave oven, for small clinic normally prefer portable autoclave which is much more suitable.

For laboratory, normally use Vertical Autoclave with capacity 35L to 150L, normally 75L vertical autoclave is the most popular one.

For Hospitals, prefer to use much larger Horizontal Autoclave with capacity 150L to 500L that can sterilize many instruments at once, but vertical type autoclave sterilizer also widely be used in smaller hospitals.

For food sterilization, we have customized a special vertical food sterilizer , it's a counter pressure type which will ensure the sterilization for kinds of food in packaged.


For pharmaceuticals area, we have a Pulse Vacuum Autoclave which is widely be used for bio-test lab, pharmaceuticals industry, with capacity from 250L to 3000L.


To work effectively, an autoclave must remove all the air in and around the object that’s being sterilized, forcing steam to penetrate its surfaces, according to Healthcare Purchasing News. There are two basic ways that an autoclave can remove the air and force in steam:


HouYuan High Pressure Steam Sterilizer Autoclave, inject steam into the autoclave chamber and then rely on that steam, which is heavier than air, to force the air to leave the chamber through the drain vent at the bottom, according to the CDC.

Pre-vacuum or pulse vacuum autoclave uses a vacuum pump to remove air from the chamber before steam is admitted to it, which means that steam penetrates even porous objects almost instantly.
