Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is this to install in my garage?

- Installation is the same as installing a new outlet for a dryer or a electric vehicle. We recommend consulting your local electrician to help with that part. The unit comes ready for a plug of your choice. You can purchase a male and female Single Phase plug at any hardware store. (Use 40 or 50 AMP Breaker)

What is the process to sterilize grain bags?

- Prepare your grain bags like normal. Remove the two stainless steel baskets, add filtered or R/O water. Load your grain bags in a circular pattern stacking to the top. You can load them any way you would like. Once grain bags/jars are loaded close the top and tighten the clamps. We recommend starting with control panel settings of 121° Celsius and 2.5-3 hours sterilization time when full. The other option is whether you want it to shut off and cool down naturally when finished or a computerized slow vent. The slow vent option will slowly vent steam lower pressure.


How long is the entire process?

- When full the entire process from start to finish is around 6 hours. Unlike pressure cookers or small electric autoclaves, these can be run without anyone around. There are two options after the cook cycle is done. The first option is for the machine to turn off and slowly cool naturally. This takes about 3-4 hours. The second option is a computerized slow venting of the pressure which speeds up the cooling by 50%. This option is great for running the machine back to back.

How much substrate or grain can I sterilize at once?

- Maximnum of 70-72 3 lb grain bags (8 per layer, 9 layers high) 

- Maximum of 38-40 5 lb grain bags

This autoclave is covered by a 12 month warranty. The 12 month period starts from the date of delivery. In addition, we are offering an additional 6 month warranty that covers any non-wear items. We offer Free technical support for the life of the autoclave.

Running one for 3 weeks and LOVE this unit. Plenty of space, extra control over venting, can pasteurize or sterilize and the lid is just so easy to open and shut. (Step stool not included, you'll thank me later)

200L

I Was debating between the 150 and 200L for a month and while the 150L is really good value, the extra space and future proofing my farm was the ultimate decision maker for me. I've used this for a few weeks now and with any machine it took some runs to get my bag placement optimization right. I have seen a 150L and the inner metal tubs are much thicker than these. These include wire baskets that you stack on the bags and not themselves. They work fine, but I was trying to line them up to stack and that's obviously not how they were designed. Let me say this, this baby can fit almost 2 more rows of bags than what the math says based on the specs. I have noticed the heat up or get to temp time is about 90 minutes when I overload it but the overall cycle time only is extended about 45 minutes and I get an extra 10-12 bags. I've had zero issues with contams as well. If your budget falls in this price range, I highly recommend. Also, great customer service and very knowledgeable autoclave tech support staff.

PS. Fits through a standard doorway! Wohoo!

Top of the line!

I drove 6 hours to pick this up on Monday. Awesome customer service, they even helped load this in my truck with straps and their forklift! Thanks guys!

Got this hooked up within a few minutes using my RV outlet I have in my garage. I have used 100L vertical in the past and this one is a huge upgrade. The interior space is more than double! There are more settings and fine tuning with this unit. I love the manual venting options.
Will update more after running more than 3-4 batches! So far so good!
