Autoclaves & Systems by Zirbus
Tabletop Autoclaves
Features
Also referred to as laboratory autoclaves, these units are designed for maximum efficiency in minimal space. Despite their compact exterior, they offer impressive chamber capacities, with models available in both round and square designs, accommodating up to 200 liters.
- Chamber Volume: 40 – 200 L / round & square
- Ideal for: Small liquid volumes, solid materials, and biohazardous waste (S2 – compliant with BioStoffV, TRBA 100 regulations)
Vertical Autoclaves
Features
Designed for top-loading, vertical autoclaves offer exceptional durability and are ideal for sterilizing lightweight materials. For added convenience, an optional electric loading and unloading system simplifies handling heavier loads, such as liquid-filled containers.
- Chamber Volume: 80 – 150 L
- Ideal for: Small liquid volumes, solid materials, and biohazardous waste (S2 – compliant with BioStoffV, TRBA 100 regulations)

The pneumatically operated vertical door saves space, providing the perfect balance between capacity and compact footprint, making it ideal for labs and production areas with limited space.
With Round Chamber
Our round-chamber floor-standing autoclaves offer a cost-effective alternative to square models. Suitable for laboratories, food processing, and pharmaceutical applications, they come in sizes ranging from 150 to 825 liters. A variety of options allows customization to your needs. Additional features include automatic door locking and user-friendly control interfaces.
Industrial & Large-Scale Production Autoclaves
For high-demand applications, our floor-standing autoclaves with horizontal doors support sterilization processes across pharmaceutical, production, and animal research sectors. With chamber sizes of up to 18,000 liters, these high-capacity autoclaves can be fully customized.
Floor-level loading configurations (e.g., pit-mounted designs) for seamless operation
Advanced sterilization technologies such as hot water shower and steam-air mixture for specialized applications
What is an Autoclave?
An autoclave is a high-pressure sterilization device used in laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, and industrial processes. By combining intense heat and steam under pressure, autoclaves achieve temperatures of 121°C to 134°C, effectively eliminating bacteria, viruses, fungi, and heat-resistant spores that standard sterilization methods may leave behind.
Autoclaves are essential for sterilizing instruments, glassware, and liquids, and they also play a crucial role in the food industry for preservation and in composite material production. Their ability to ensure sterile conditions makes them indispensable across multiple industries.

Custom Made Autoclaves
Autoclaves play a crucial role in sterilization, offering a range of benefits across multiple industries, from biological research and pharmaceutical production to food processing. Below are some of the key advantages that make autoclaves an essential tool in these fields:
Powerful Sterilization & Unmatched Versatility
Autoclaves provide highly effective sterilization, utilizing intense heat and pressure to completely eliminate harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and resistant spores.
Their wide-ranging compatibility allows for the sterilization of glassware, metal instruments, textiles, and culture media, making them an indispensable asset in laboratories, pharmaceutical production, and research facilities.
Sustainable Sterilization & Enhanced Product Longevity
Autoclaves offer a greener alternative to chemical sterilization methods, as they operate without leaving harmful residues, making them an environmentally responsible choice.
By eliminating microbial contamination, autoclaves significantly extend the shelf life of sterilized materials. This is particularly critical in pharmaceutical and medical industries, where product integrity and patient safety are paramount.
Steam Sterilization: Precision & Reliability
Consistent, standardized sterilization – Autoclaves utilize pre-set sterilization cycles, ensuring optimal safety and efficiency across a variety of materials and applications.
Superior penetration for thorough sterilization – Unlike some other methods, steam deeply infiltrates materials, guaranteeing comprehensive sterilization, even in complex instruments and hard-to-access areas.
Efficiency, Sustainability & Safety in One Solution
Autoclaves enable rapid sterilization cycles, significantly enhancing productivity and streamlining workflows in laboratories and industrial production environments.
By utilizing water-based steam, autoclaves offer a more sustainable approach to sterilization, as steam can often be reused, reducing resource consumption.
Designed with advanced safety features, they shield users from potential hazards such as excessive pressure or high temperatures. Additionally, automated control systems guarantee consistent and precise sterilization, eliminating the need for manual supervision during operation.
