The principle of dry-heat sterilization at 180°C represents a sterilization procedure which is recognised in DIN 58947.
Hot air can effectively sterilize all objects made of inorganic substances: e.g., metal, glass, porcelain, earthenware, enamel, and the like.
The generations of conventional dry-air sterilizers used until now provided for heat exchange by strictly thermal means.
As a result, hygienic specialists have for years claimed that this process endangers sterilization effectiveness because of the “cold-air pockets” which result from the characteristic inherent to these systems. For this reason, all MELAG dry-heat sterilizers feature fan convection.
This means that a blower provides fast and complete heat exchange throughout the entire sterilization space.
This features considerably shortens sterilization times and effectively avoids overheating.
