Primus Small Sterilizers
Manufactured by SPiRE Integrated Solutions, the PRIMUS Small Steam Sterilizers are purpose-built for healthcare, research, and laboratory environments requiring compact yet powerful sterilization systems. These models stand out with their stainless-steel construction, advanced control systems, and high-performance sterilization cycles.
Key Features and Benefits
- High-Quality Materials & Construction
Built with fully-jacketed 316L stainless-steel chambers featuring the reflective Pri‑Mirror™ finish, achieving a polished surface of less than 10 Ra (0.26 µm) that resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning. - Space-Optimized Rectangular Design
Rectangular chambers maximize usable volume while minimizing floor space, offering efficiency over traditional cylindrical models. - Safe and Efficient Door Mechanism
Vertical sliding doors, either manually operated or optionally hands-free (e.g., foot switch, mushroom button), enhance safety by reducing the force required for operation and preventing accidental opening during sterilization. - Versatile Sterilization Cycles
Each sterilizer offers pre-programmed cycles, Gravity, Vacuum, Liquid, Test/Vac (for Bowie-Dick tests), with options for low-temp flowing steam or effluent decontamination. - Advanced Control System & Diagnostics
Equipped with the PSS500 microcomputer control or optional PRI-Matic™ PLC touchscreen, these units provide precise automation, predictive maintenance features, diagnostic tools, and data recording. - Water Conservation Technology
The PRI‑Saver® system significantly reduces water usage (up to 95%), while standard models also offer energy- and cycle-time optimization. - Serviceable, Non-Proprietary Design
Engineered with easy access and widely available parts to improve uptime and simplify maintenance.
