the Gruenberg Steri-Dry Dry Heat Sterilizer

WHITE DEER, PA – Gruenberg, part of Thermal Product Solutions (TPS), introduces their new Steri-Dry Dry Heat Sterilizer. Gruenberg has designed and built this new line of sterilizers for lab animal science applications.

The new Steri-Dry Dry Heat Sterilizer will provide the animal care market with the necessary equipment to sterilize animal habitat cages through the process of dry heat sterilization. Models range from 110 cubic foot to 234 cubic foot. Each sterilizer is manufactured with a heavy duty, fully welded, structural steel frame and includes a plate steel floor. The exterior is constructed of 16 and 18 304L stainless steel with a No. 4 polish to withstand frequent wash downs. All interior surfaces are 100 percent continuously welded 316L stainless for quick and easy wash downs. This line of sterilizers also features a direct drive circulation system with a maximum temperature of 340°F. Also available to compliment the new line of sterilizers are custom trucks, trays and other transfer carts.

The Gruenberg line of sterilizers offers several benefits when compared to the typical steam Sterilizer used in the sterilization process. These benefits include lower ownership, operational and maintenance costs, elimination of equipment pits and the use of simplified technology.

Gruenberg sterilizers incorporate a flexibility of design that allows customization to suit every application. The Sterilizers are built to ensure a smooth and quiet operation, beneficial when working with noise-sensitive animals.
