Gruenberg Generation II Open Truck Bulk Lab Animal Science Sterilizer

The Gruenberg SteriDry™ Dry Heat Lab Animal Science Sterilizer provides the lab animal science market with equipment to sterilize habitat cages through the process of dry-heat sterilization. These sterilizers are designed and built for lab animal science applications. Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Life Science Research sterilization has recently seen a demand for greener technologies that require less maintenance. This puts the pressure on equipment engineers to develop innovative ways to approach sterilization. While traditional steam autoclaves use water; dry heat sterilization provides an alternative to steam that uses no water, less energy, and requires less maintenance.

Compared with steam; dry heat is a greener technology that eliminates water usage, provides more flexibility for installation locations, and costs less to own and operate. Modern dry heat sterilization systems using focused forced air convection technology are consistently decreasing the cycle time. Depending on the load configuration and cool down requirements, the typical cycle lasts less than 3 hours. The initial cost of available dry heat systems is about 60% of equivalent sized steam autoclaves. A dry heat sterilizer is two to three times lighter than an equivalent steam system. Because the dry heat sterilizer can be rigged in place as modules, there are considerably less rigging challenges and costs. The dry heat sterilizer does not need to be pit mounted.

Our SteriDry™ engineers are always here to help you design and implement our standard or custom sterilizers to meet your project’s specific needs, no matter how demanding.
