Loading: Items are placed in the vertical chamber, usually in perforated trays or baskets.
Sealing and Pressurization: The lid is locked, and the chamber is pressurized with steam.
Sterilization: High-temperature steam penetrates the items, destroying bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
Exhaust and Drying: Steam is released, and items are allowed to cool before removal.
Types of Vertical Autoclaves
Autoclave Vertical - Semi Automatic
The Vertical Autoclave – Semi Automatic is designed for efficient steam sterilization in laboratories, clinics, and small healthcare facilities. Unlike fully manual models, it features automated control of temperature and sterilization time, while still requiring the user to manually start and stop cycles or load items. This type of autoclave ensures reliable sterilization of glassware, surgical instruments, culture media, and textiles by using high-pressure saturated steam, typically at 121–134°C. Semi-automatic vertical autoclaves offer a balance between ease of use and cost-effectiveness, providing safety features such as lid interlocks, pressure gauges, and safety valves, making them ideal for facilities that need dependable sterilization without full digital automation.

Autoclave Vertical Semi Automatic Double Walled
The Vertical Autoclave – Semi Automatic Double Walled is a robust and efficient sterilization device widely used in laboratories, small hospitals, and research facilities. Its double-walled chamber design provides excellent thermal insulation, reducing heat loss, saving energy, and maintaining consistent sterilization temperatures. Operating in a semi-automatic mode, it allows users to control sterilization time and temperature while ensuring safety through pressure gauges, safety valves, and lid interlocks. The autoclave uses high-pressure saturated steam, typically at 121–134°C, to sterilize instruments, glassware, culture media, and textiles. Its combination of durability, energy efficiency, and reliable sterilization performance makes it ideal for facilities that require frequent but moderate-volume sterilization.
