FOB5 series can be designed with a single or double stainless steel sealing flange (BIOSEAL), making it suitable for laboratory risk category L3 and L4 and operating theater. Thanks to its improved heating-exchange plates, this autoclave has a perfect temperature distribution in chamber, assuring the highest sterilization performance.

FOB5 autoclaves are made of AISI 316 L stainless steel as well as pneumatic valves and hydraulic components, all electropolished at sanitary grade. FOB5 lab sterilizers have two high-efficiency internal AISI 316 L stainless steel plates which can be used as heat-exchanger system for steam preheating, to cool the chamber temperature down by using cold water. Moreover – as an option – these plates can be used to perform final drying.

Full and easy accessibility to technical area from the front and lateral side allows service and regular maintenance. External trolleys are fully compatible with FGW Fedegari Glassware Washer Series to assure integration between cleaning and sterilization processes in your laboratory.

FOB5 is equipped with Thema4lab process controller, engineered and pre-validated by Fedegari according to GAMP5. Thema4lab is the most advanced process controller for lab applications. It is based on a wide library of phase groups developed by Fedegari thanks to its experience in the pharmaceutical industry across 60 years of history.

Thema4lab process controller is available for FGW Glassware Washers and FOB5 steam sterilizers, making training and maintenance easier for Fedegari machines.
