6 CFT ETO Sterilizer

It is designed for heat- and moisture-sensitive medical devices and materials that cannot tolerate steam autoclaves, including syringes, catheters, endoscopes, surgical tools, implants, electronic components, plastic parts, infusion sets, multi-lumen instruments, and certain packaged consumables.

ETO gas alters the DNA and proteins of microorganisms (including resistant spores), rendering them unable to cause infection. The gas penetrates deeply into packaging, complex lumens, and sealed items, ensuring thorough sterilization while preserving material integrity.

It operates at a dry, low temperature of approximately 50°C. This prevents thermal stress, distortion, or degradation of delicate polymers, plastics, electronics, and heat-sensitive devices, thereby extending their usable shelf life.

The process includes preconditioning/humidification, vacuum air removal, EO gas injection and exposure/dwell, followed by purge and active aeration. A complete operational cycle averages roughly 8 hours from loading to safe unloading (some configurations support warm or cold cycles).

Yes, an in-built aeration facility is provided. After EO exposure, residual gas must be thoroughly removed so items meet safety residual limits and can be unloaded and used without requiring separate off-gassing areas.

It is offered in semi-automatic versions (analog push-button interface with manual oversight of key phases) and fully automatic versions (PLC-driven system with intuitive HMI touch-screen panel for automated multi-stage cycles, parameter monitoring, and minimal operator intervention).

Internal chambers and product-contact surfaces are fabricated from high-grade AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and cleanability. It includes robust pneumatically actuated ball valves, modular framework for durability under vacuum, and design elements supporting safe EO handling.

It typically requires compressed air at about 100 psig. Power supply is single-phase (commonly 220 V / 50 Hz), with draw in the range of models nearby in capacity (around 1–2.5 kW depending on exact configuration). Voltage can often be adjusted to local standards; sterilant is supplied via unit-dose cartridges.

It is suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries, as well as hospitals, clinics, labs, and device manufacturers. Comprehensive IQ, OQ, and DQ documentation packages can be provided upon request to support regulatory validation and sterility assurance requirements.
