The chamber is undeniably a fundamental part of moist-heat sterilizers (autoclaves): its
critically arises from cyclic pressure and temperature variations, which generate dangerous
fatigue of the structure over time.
Fedegari was the first among manufacturers of these machines: in the early 1980s, leading innovation,
Fedegari introduced the first CAD workstations equipped with sophisticated FEM programs, devising
an absolutely original manufacturing model conceived with the specific goal of avoiding generation
of high tensions in any point of the shell.
Depending on the type of sterilizer, the chambers can have a square or circular cross-section.
They are made of AISI 316Ti stainless steel, with an internal mirror-finish obtained by mechanical
polishing. The chambers can be equipped with a jacket, providing temperature regulation of the
process, and with various stiffeners, depending on the cross-section of the chamber, which never
come into direct contact with any process fluid.
Depending on requirements, the chambers are designed and certified in compliance with local laws
or regulations.
