Standard features
Construction and design
• Chamber - The 25 liters sterilization chamber is made of one
piece, reflecting the latest technology, Stainless Steel 316 L
(conforms to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), jacketed. The
steam is circulated through the steam heated jacket securing an
uniform temperature instead of resistant heat which burns the
chambers. An automatic flush cleans the steam generator after
20/50 cycles from residues. This feature facilitates faster sterilization
cycles. External dimensions are especially suitable for small clinics.

Dimensions • Exterior - painted 2mm aluminium

Chamber:
Inner Dia. x Depth, 261 x 472 mm • Steam generator –Equipped with a stand-alone 2.9 kW steam
Chamber volume, net. 25 Litres. generator, made of Stainless Steel 316 L. The large capacity of the
External heaters enables steam to always be ready for operation, and thus
W x H x D, 534 x 475 x 609 mm contributes to a very fast cycle.

Configuration and Options • Vacuum system –Equipped with a Diaphragm vacuum pump,
combined with a heat exchanger, and is a pre-vacuum sterilizer
Model Heating Doors having the following features:
□ PROHS TS-25 □ Electric, 220V, AC □ Single
- An air removal stage (pre-vacuum), before starting the sterilizing
Standard Accessories stage.
- A post-sterilization drying phase, based on the combined operation
□ One Stainless Steel Trays Rack
of heat and vacuum with air inlet pulses.
□ 4 Stainless Steel Trays (more trays are available upon request) In order to improve the efficiency of the vacuum pump – capability
and speed– a heat exchanger is installed on the outlet piping of the
Options chamber.
□ Impact Printer The advantages of the pre-vacuum sterilizer are as follows:
□ HMI PC Software - Removal of air pockets from packs and porous load and most kinds
of hoses (rubber, plastic etc.) by vacuum at the first stage of the
□ 1 Gigabyte SD Card & Reader
cycle.
□ Communication ports
- Better steam penetration into the load; resulting in effective
□ Reverse-Osmosis System sterilization.
□ Automatic water filling - Better temperature uniformity.
□ Automatic water draining - Better drying of materials due to the vacuum achieved in the
chamber at the end of the sterilization cycle.
• Safety Devices
Languages Numerous safety features including: a safety valve, thermostat,
The operator panel is set up with following standard languages temperature sensors, a water detection electrode in the steam
(maximum 5 languages per Sterilizer): generator, a pressure sensor, a safety pressure release valve,
a door locking device and software safety features.
• Door locking mechanism – The door system is automatic and
is based on a special locking device. The system is based on
two moving tongues located in the door pushed into a house
attached to the chamber.
The closing device prevents an incidental opening of the door if
there is pressure in the chamber. The moving tongues are
located in a slightly negative angle, in order to prevent shearing
off. The opening of the door can be done electrically only, in
case of power fail, the user can’t open the door without a
special tool.

The door system includes:

 Mechanical locking (2 tongues in two sides)

 Safety plate below the tongue on closing position, to hold
the tongues against shearing.
 Pull-type solenoid that in inactivated position locks the door
and must be electrically powered to open the locking
device.
 Micro switch (1) to indicate that the two tongues are in full
closed position.
 Magnetic Micro switch (2) to indicate that the door is
attached to the chamber frame (to let the motor pull the two
tongues into the locking house)
 Micro switch (3) to indicate the door is locked. (Verifies that
the tongues are above the safety plate, inside the locking
house).
 Micro switch (4) to indicate when the door is open.
(Indicates that the tongues are out)of the locking house).
• Operation – Operating is simple: close the door, select the
cycle on the Touch-Screen Panel, and press the Start Key. The
cycle will run automatically. At the end of the cycle, by pressing
the ‘Open Door’ button on the Touch-Screen Panel, the door
will automatically open.
• Printer – An optional impact printer can be supplied upon
request. Each cycle can be documented by the printer which
records the preset and actual parameters of the cycle: the
selected cycle, cycle parameters, date, time, temperature,
pressure, errors, etc. The last 10 cycles’ data is automatically
stored in memory, and can be re-printed.

• Water system – The sterilizers are equipped with 2 Water
Reservoirs: one for mineral-free water and one for drain water.
Water is circulated in the water pump and converted to
saturated steam.
The Sterilizers are supplied as a stand-alone unit. A Reverse-
Osmosis water purification system is available in order to avoid
the need to refill the water reservoirs. This system improves
the quality of the water used to generate steam. The use of
mineral-free water will contribute to better performance and
longer life of the Sterilizers’ chamber.
• Energy saving mode - The Sterilizers are equipped with an
Energy Saving Mode which is activated if the Sterilizer is not
used after a certain period of time. This Mode reduces power
consumption by approximately 12% to 30% and is thus
environmental friendly.
• Data collection – Sterilization cycles’ data can be collected
online trough standard RS232 connection, enables connecting
the computer and the Sterilizer using the PC Software
(optional).
Sterilization cycles’ data can be
also collected online on a SD
Card through an optional SD
Card Slot. Collected data can be
downloaded into a computer
equipped with proprietary PC
Software. 1 Gigabyte SD card collects up to 20 years logging
data, including: the selected cycle, start time, cycle stages,
temperature / pressure, end time, cycle status (pass / fail), etc.
An optional Ethernet Connection enables controlling, monitoring
and connecting your PROHS TS-25 with no need of additional
software.

• Control system / Touch screen panel – A state of the art

computerized control system includes a Microprocessor
controller and a Touch-Screen Panel LCD 5” with blue & white
graphic display, developed by world experts in the electronic
field. The control system ensures high reliability, simplicity,
safety of operation and automatic process cycles.
