The POWERDOOR range of autoclaves satisfies a demand for autoclaves with a large rectangular sterilizing chamber suited to handling bulky items but where the laboratory does not have sufficient space to allow for the conventional hinged door opening. With the Priorclave PowerDoor range the chamber door lowers within the body of the actual machine, thereby enabling laboratories to acquire an autoclave suited for high throughput sterilizing procedures or able to handle extra bulky items despite restricted room size. 

The Mid-Capacity range is produced in two chamber sizes of 230 and 350 liters and can be supplied as standard format or with a fascia panel. Push-Buttons control the hands free opening and closing of the vertically sliding pressure door.

An advantage of the PowerDoor autoclaves is a fixed gasket onto which the door closes. When raised in line with the chamber opening, the door automatically moves forward directly onto the seal to create an air-tight lock. This action prevents undue wear on the fixed seal, extending service intervals and improving operational performance of these autoclaves.
