Compact and Self Contained

The front loading benchtop range do not require plumbing in to a water supply, they only need a standard single phase power supply.

The water source is built in to each unit in one of two ways;

Classic -need manual refilling with water for each cycle. During the cycle the condensate leaves the chamber by a silicone tube and can be collected in a heat-resistant bottle.

Autofill – with an integral reservoir to provide water for up to 15 cycles and to act as a collection vessel for the condensate.

 

Colour Touch Screen controls

Standard throughout the Astell range, the colour touchscreen controller offers great control.

The controller itself is a wipe clean touchscreen based on an industrial PLC system, combined with various input/output modules. The controller software was developed especially for Astell to offer precision control of the autoclaves.

The icon driven menus and simple cycle selection make everyday use quick and simple, while the ability to modify cycles or programme new cycles allows greater control when required for specialist jobs.

 

Additional Features

  • Data archive for up to 5,000 cycles
