The alternative to a new unit!
Re-use existing resources and save money!
You save on costs
NO dismantling of the old autoclave, NO expenses for transporting and specialist disposal and NO building measures.You save on personnel costs
Reconditioning only ties your own personnel to the project for a short time. And personnel costs are also lower for the suppliers involved.You save through short delivery times
Delivery deadlines are only 4 to 6 weeks from approved DQ.You have a shorter production down time
Down time of only 2 to 3 weeks – depending on the size of the unit and scope of the work including qualification (IQ, OQ, PQ).
Your old unit with up to date technology and safety regulations!

ANIMAL KEEPING / research
University of Zurich, Irchel
Reconditioning of autoclaves
5 autoclaves in total were modernised for the university in Zurich by Imtech-Steri, the first two 10 years ago and the other three units in 2014. The entire control system, operating system and electrical system of each were reconditioned and brought up to the state of the art of modern technology with the latest Siemens Simatic solutions.

DECONTAMINATION
F.Hoffmann-La Roche
Reconditioning of decontamination unit
The decontamination unit (built in 1968) owned by F.Hoffmann-La Roche was modernised in several steps by Imtech-Steri. The pipes and the old control system had already been reconditioned in the 90s and new pumps, heat exchangers and decontamination tanks were installed.

The collection tanks were emptied so that the blocked piping system could be replaced. An efficacy test and qualification for CE certification were also included in the reconditioning measures.
RECONDITIONING MEASURES:
- Pipe adjustments
- PLC reconditioning
- New software and new protocols
- New display
- New temperature probe
- New electrical cabinet
- New P&I diagram
- New electrical diagram
