Request a QuoteWhat services does the machine need on site?
Taking an RDS160 as an example, the machine needs a 380V three-phase supply at 35A per phase, 15mm cold water at 300 kPa for the vacuum system, a separate 15mm clean or RO feed for the steam generator, and a 50mm metal floor drain. We confirm the requirements for your model before installation.
What documentation is supplied with the unit?
Every unit leaves the factory with a data pack: operating manuals, manufacturing certificates, technical drawings and pressure testing certificates.
What guarantee comes with an RDS autoclave?
Up to 10 years on the complete pressure vessel, independently verified by approved inspection authorities.
