Kiloclave

Electric or Hydraulic Lift for Metal Vessels Up To 20 Litres

The Kiloclave lift enhances safety and convenience in the laboratory. It is no longer necessary to move full, heavy and hot autoclave vessels by hand.

The Kiloclave

  • Lifts
  • Lowers
  • Tilts all steel vessels
  • Safely
  • Simply
  • Rapidly

The Kiloclave stand  is made of 304 stainless steel and lifts up to 150 kg.

The cover plate and drive are identical to the BEP 280 stirred laboratory autoclave. Existing autoclaves can be converted.

Lift, Lower and Tilt Heavy Vessels

Mounting and securing the special steel vessel in the lift is simple and fast. The vessel can then be lifted, lowered and tilted. Thus even full, heavy and hot 5, 10 and 20 litre vessels can be handled safely and conveniently.

Fast, Spill-Free Filling

The filling process for the experiment takes place with the carrier lowered. The lift elevates the heavy, full vessel up to the cover plate. The vessel and the cover plate are then,, as always, bolted together. The experiment can start. Of course, media can be added during the experiment using burettes, dip pipes etc.

Simple To Empty and Clean

The vessel can be emptied as usual via the bottom outlet valve or now, by using the easy-to-operate tilting mechanism. This mechanism also has its advantages when the vessel is being cleaned.

Use Only Steel Vessels!

Caution: The Kiloclave for laboratory autoclaves must only be used with steel vessels. For glass vessels use the Polyclave.
