Our Sterilizer Refurbishing Process
- Page 1 of 2


Our refurbishing process starts with a used unit. These units are stripped of all components, panels and controls. The chamber is removed from the frame and stripped of its insulating blanket.

A.S.M.E. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) boiler plate stamps and numbers are inspected to qualify the chamber for its intended purpose.

The door is removed from the chamber and completely disassembled. The chamber, stand and door are then moved from our disassembly area to our beadblast facility.

Here the chamber exterior and interior are cleaned with glass beads under high pressure, to remove any rust, grime and residue. The stand is then beadblasted seperately, as is the door.

Beadblasting provides a smoother, stronger finish than sandblasting.

The chamber is then subjected to Hydro-Static Testing as required by law to certify its integrity as a pressure vessel.

The unit then goes to the paint shop where the chamber exterior and stand are first coated with a rust-inhibiting sealant, then the finish is applied. With this completed, a new insulating blanket is installed. Then the chamber is attached to the newly finished stand.

The final assembly process begins with assembling parts components required for sub-assemblies. These parts are again inspected to ensure compliance with O.E.M. specifications.
