Range Classification
A standard Swiftlock unit is fitted with heaters in the base of the chamber and is ideal for sterilizing liquids (media), discard, glassware and other instruments. Advanced options such as the Integral Steam Generator, External Jacket and choice of Vacuum can be applied to customise a vessel for many other applications such as liquids, fabrics and other porous loads.
Direct steam models are available at no extra cost.
Astell can custom build the Swiftlock range to your specifications.

Requires a Chamber Vessel Cooling Jacket for optimal performance, and Air Ballast is required when sterilizing liquids. Also required for over-pressure (Steam-Air mix) applications. |
|
| AAQ503 | Integral Air Compressor | Provides compressed air for autoclave systems that require it. | |
| 24KWSG | 24kW Integral Steam Generator | Replaces the in-chamber steam generation assembly with hardware positioned outside the sterilization chamber to provide enhanced steam control and functionality. Requires mains water supply. |
|
| RSSC70 | Secondary Controller | A secondary screen used on double-door pass-through autoclaves, allowing the operator to view the controller displayed information from the opposite door. |
|
| AAR014 | Load Sensed Process Timing | A temperature probe with an armoured lead is added to the chamber. Placed inside fluid loads, this probe provides accurate measurement of liquid temperatures, allowing for faster and more controlled liquid sterilization. |
|
| AAB001 | Blow Down Vessel | For use with an integral or stand-alone steam generator. The autoclave can be set to expel high-pressure steam to remove dissolved gases and debris from its components; this vessel safely captures the expelled condensate and debris during the blow-down process. |
|
| AAQ525 | External Air Compressor | Provides compressed air for autoclave systems that require it. |
|
| CWS300 | Water Softener and Installation Kit | Extracts limescale-causing minerals from the water supply before they enter the autoclave, reducing the likelihood of limescale fouling the autoclave. |
|
| AAN080 | Container Tray | A cuboid container that allows the loading and unloading of multiple items simultaneously. |
|
| AAN300 | Morrison Discard Container | A cuboid container that allows the loading and unloading of multiple items simultaneously. |
|
| AAN318 | Additional Shelf | An additional shelf on anti-tilt brackets, typically placed in the centre of the autoclave, providing approximately twice the usable width and depth of chamber space. |
|
