VARIOKLAV Steam Sterilizers
75 S and 135 S

Our new VARIOKLAV steam sterilizers 75 S

and 135 S offer the combined advantages of
a double-walled sterilizer (energy savings,
optional pre-heating, efficient drying) and a
single-walled sterilizer (fast processing,
excellent recooling, low cost). Operating the
new automated lock is child's play.
We use only high-quality industry-standard
components.

VARIOKLAV STEAM STERILIZERS
75 S AND 135 S
The VARIOKLAV 75 S and 135 S steam sterilizers with
their ultra-flat steam generators in their double bottoms
combine the advantages of a double-walled device
- low energy consumption, permanently ready for use, effec-
tive deaeration and drying by built-in jacket heater - with
those of a single-wall device - fast cooling.
The chamber is free of furnishings and feed water and therefore
easy to clean.
The basic version features four sterilizing programs, two for
liquids and one each for solids and for waste. Up to 16 programs
can be stored by the control unit, depending on the modules and
options installed.
Up to eight pressure changes combined with effective steam
flushing drive out the residual air from solids and waste, allowing
faster heating by pulsating steam.
And after your purchase?
Benefit from fast batch processing, low operating cost thanks
to efficient steam management and our close-knit service and
consulting network.
 FREE-STANDING UNITS 75 S AND 135 S

Safe and easy operation

• Direct selection of your three most important programs
• Extensive loading capacity of 75 and 135 litres
• Minimum loading height of 750 and 800 mm
• Two gas pressure springs equalize the weight of the lid
• No feed water in the chamber, a great advantage during
loading and unloading, low steam escape when lifting the lid
• No heating elements in the chamber, no burning of agar

Advantages
• Ultra-narrow design, only 500 and 600 mm in width Mixed loads
• Innovative thermolock pursuant to TRB 402 for liquids
• Automatic spent-steam condensation
• Versatile control unit, simple for operators and flexible for
lab management Unique Fingertip Quick Lock*

For more information see Technical Specifications datasheet

Additional button for

raising the lid

Safety
• The steam pressure on the lid is transferred with maximum
safety to innumerably many points on the closing ring -
not just to two positions as with clip locks
• Two pressure sensors check for complete pressure release
before the lid can be opened
• Silicone seal movable by pressurized air:
- uniform closing pressure, reliable seal
- wedge-shaped profiles automatically retract the seal
when the pressure is gone
- long life
Option
Opening aid actuated by pressurized air
• Lid swings back on pressing a button
• Raises lid by up to 60°
 FREE-STANDING UNITS - A NEW MILESTONE

Double bottom as steam generator

This ultra-flat double bottom rapidly generates steam - a new
milestone in steam sterilizer technology. This gives the sterilizers
an unusually compact design.

Advantages
• Steam generation and chamber are separated - stores CH = chamber
heat and feed water, preheats the sterilizing chamber, SG = steam generator
collects and separates condensate and permits the drying of FP = feed water pump
solids
• No contamination of feed waters by drop condensates, waste,
or culture media, leaving the sterile supplies free of deposits
by impure steam
• Minimum water volumes in the steam generator make
economic use of heating energy and reduce the amount of
water used for fast cooling
• Water level control by exploiting the differences in heat
conductivity between water and steam - no maintenance
• Fast heating and effective deaeration through tangential
steam entry

Fitting blocks: e.g. Floor Drain Valve*

Double bottom and available modules (diagram)
• Drain valve in the chamber floor eliminates dead spaces and
thereby non-sterilizing zones, ensures a sterile condensate
and prevents the spread of pathogens

Universal feed water connector

• Optionally suction from non-pressurized reservoir or feeding
via demineralized water feed
• Integrated pump equalizes all pressure variations in external
supply lines
• Automatic level control before, during and after the process
ensures that the system is permanently ready for use

non-sterilizing zones Options

Separate steam generator control

A comprehensive program package for chamber and steam
• The valve seat closes directly inside the sterilizer and can be
generation that controls both pressure chambers separately
steam-sterilized from all sides
offers extra versatility.
• A chamber sensor for the condensate temperature is
integrated in the valve (flow sensor) and measures the Advantages
temperature in the coldest spot - in the disposal line
• Preheating: Steam generator permanently under pressure
• Drain valve is heated by double bottom - preventing agar
• More efficient air removal by faster pressure changes and
deposits
shorter intervals, which is a great advantage especially when

sterilizing waste in waste bags
• Following sterilization, the chamber is free of condensate,
