2 Cubic Feet Sterilizer

These units come in steam autoclave versions (using high-pressure saturated steam for rapid sterilization) and ethylene oxide (ETO) gas models (for low-temperature, moisture-free processing of sensitive items). ETO variants are offered as semi-automatic (analog controls with push-buttons and gauges) or fully automatic (PLC + touchscreen HMI for automated multi-stage cycles and documentation).

The AETOS–2.6 model features a working capacity of 2.6 cu. ft. (70 liters), chamber size of 12” (W) × 12” (H) × 32”, 40-gram sterilant gas cartridge, warm and cold cycle options, in-built aeration, compressed air utility at 100 psig, and power supply of 1 kW at 220 V single-phase 50 Hz (adjustable to local voltage).

Key features include optional IQ/OQ/DQ validation documentation, standardized cycles completing sterilization and degassing in about 8 hours, precision pneumatically actuated ball valves, modular chamber design for scalability, advanced PLC control with safety interlocks, and product-contact surfaces made of AISI 304/316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and hygiene compliance.

It operates at a gentle ~50°C in a completely dry environment. Ethylene oxide gas provides deep molecular penetration into complex lumens, porous materials, and pre-packaged devices. The process includes multi-stage cycles managed by PLC (or analog controls in semi-automatic models), followed by in-built aeration to remove residual gas.

It is suitable for heat- and moisture-sensitive medical consumables such as IV infusion sets, disposable syringes, surgical kits, catheters, urine collection bags, cardiac catheters, coronary stents, intraocular lenses, diagnostic scopes, and microsurgical instruments. It also supports industrial uses like reducing bioburden on dried spices, nuts, and packaged cereals.

ETO offers low-temperature and moisture-free operation that prevents thermal or hydrolytic damage, exceptional penetration into hard-to-reach areas, extended instrument lifespan with lower replacement costs, and suitability for delicate high-value items that cannot withstand steam.

It is widely applied in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries, as well as in medical, dental, veterinary, and laboratory settings requiring compact, reliable sterilization.

Operators should follow validated cycles, use chemical and biological indicators, avoid overloading, and perform regular maintenance on seals, valves, and sensors. Units include safety interlocks, pressure and temperature protections, and support for qualification documentation to ensure compliance and consistent performance.

Yes. All listed models provide in-built aeration facilities. Both warm and cold sterilization cycles are possible, allowing flexible processing of different load types while meeting the approximate 8-hour full cycle (sterilization + degassing) window.
