Cooling:
N/A.
•
Fast Exhaust:
the steam is exhausted out of the chamber at a fast
rate until pressure decreases to ambient pressure.
•
Drying:
N/A
•
Ending
: The system checks that End temperature and End pressure
have been reached, and then releases the door.
Note:
Some water may remain in the chamber.

Program 16: Air Mixture
This program is intended for liquids in soft packages when the
manufacturer recommends autoclaving at temperature of 121ºC
(250
F) for 15 minutes.
Sterilization is controlled in a way that the sterilization pressure
remains approx. 30% above the theoretical pressure corresponding to
the same temperature according to the steam table. These intends for
prevent swelling or warping of the package.
Cautions!
Both PT100 temperature sensors must be inside the bottles.
For proper sterilization, fill the bottles with approximately the
same amount of liquid.
