Clean steam for clean instruments

Clean water produces clean steam

Steam quality has a direct effect on the efficiency of your sterilizer and the plant steam that’s produced in boilers for utility purposes may not be suitable for use in your steam sterilizer. Australian and New Zealand standards require steam sterilizers to use steam produced from treated water, which complies with AS/NZS 4187.

Sterilization requires steam to condense in order to transfer heat. The non-condensing gasses contained in steam can reduce the heat transfer, which in turn reduces the efficiency of the sterilization process. When removed prior to steam generation, you get a high quality steam. The levels of non-condensing gasses in sterilizer steam must not exceed the limits stated in EN 285.

Enter the Atherton Kookaburra Series. The key to clean steam.

Kookaburra Clean Steam Generator

By using existing plant steam with a supply of treated water, the Kookaburra Clean Steam Generator can produce enough clean steam to meet the requirements of a steam sterilizer up to 900 litres capacity running a typical 134oC cycle.

Kookaburra Thermal Degas Unit

The Kookaburra Thermal Degas Unit degasses treated water before it reaches the Clean Steam Generator. Using plant steam to degas and pre-treat heated water, the unit improves steam producing efficiency. One Kookaburra Thermal Degas Unit can service two Kookaburra Clean Steam Generators.
