How working with a Custom Autoclave Manufacturer can help you with autoclave projects in existing buildings.
Whether you need vivarium autoclaves for your animal-related research facility or standard laboratory sterilization equipment, you may run into the option of buying a prefabricated unit or having your equipment custom-made. In a few respects, working with a custom autoclave manufacturer can be more advantageous if you are in an existing building than buying standard pieces.
Cost-Efficiency for Specialty Autoclave Applications
Working with a custom autoclave manufacturer specialized in customized equipment delivers cost efficiencies for specialty autoclave applications. While you can find quite a few standard autoclaves with the most expected features, these units may not always cater specifically to your building or operation. In addition, opting to have a new autoclave retrofitted with additional features may not always be the most cost-effective option.
Instead, you are far better working with an engineer from a custom autoclave manufacturer to design the unit around your needs and with the features that coincide with daily use within your building. For example, if you need an autoclave with split bulk sterilizers (see illustration below), unique cycling capabilities, and a ventilation system that connects to your existing ventilation outlet points, a customized unit can be designed from the ground up. Therefore, post-manufacturing reconfigurations and adjustments will not be involved, and you can spend less to get the equipment you need.
Get Larger Sterilization Equipment Manufactured and Installed, in Spite of Constraints in an Existing Building
Certain autoclave projects have specific challenges that can only be efficiently addressed through engineering a customized piece of equipment. For example, if a company needs a large autoclave and operates from an existing, multistory building, buying a prefabricated unit can bring along hard-to-overcome quandaries. Many of these challenges will come into play during the installation process, such as:
- Elevator weight capacity restrictions or size limitations
- Restrictive hallway layouts that prevent adequate maneuverability of the equipment
- Doorway width and height limitations
- Problems with creating an adequately sized pit for installation
These types of challenges are hard to avoid in an existing building and can dramatically increase project costs. With our expertise in a custom approach, we developed the Split Bulk Sterilizer to eliminate all of the issues previously defined. While Beta Star does manufacture some standard sizes in batch lots, such as the LSII 20-inch by 20-inch or the 26-inch by 26-inch by 39-inch, our larger sizes are custom-made.
