Class B autoclave for rapid instrument sterilisation: SteriHero Speed+ 5 l

The SteriHero Speed+ by Melag is a professional Class B autoclave designed to ensure fast, safe and efficient sterilisation in a compact format. Thanks to its small size, optimised programmes and external tanks, it offers a practical solution for those who want their instruments to be ready for use at all times without compromising on high performance.

A Class B rapid-cycle autoclave, SteriHero Speed+ combines the speed of the Quick-S programme (for unwrapped instruments), with cycles lasting 6.5 to 10 minutes, with the versatility of the Universal B programme (for wrapped and unwrapped instruments and hollow bodies), with complete cycles lasting 11 to 16 minutes. An ideal solution for optimising operating times and improving the organisation of daily workflows.

The advanced fractional vacuum system effectively removes air from the sterilisation chamber and promotes uniform steam distribution, contributing to the effectiveness of the entire process. Compliant with the UNI EN 13060 standard, SteriHero Speed+ is designed to guarantee high standards of safety and reliability in the sterilisation of professional instruments.

Compact in size yet comprehensive in performance, it is ideal for those seeking a professional autoclave that is fast, easy to use and capable of combining operational efficiency with safety.

Rapid sterilisation for instruments that are always ready for use

A fast autoclave designed to minimise waiting times. The Quick-S cycle for unwrapped instruments can be completed in just 6.5 minutes, allowing for rapid instrument turnover throughout the working day. The Universal B programme, in turn, allows for the sterilisation of wrapped and unwrapped instruments, as well as hollow instruments, in just 11–16 minutes. An ideal solution for those carrying out numerous consecutive treatments and requiring instruments that are always ready for use.

Compact and space-saving

With a 5-litre chamber and compact external dimensions, it is the ideal autoclave for those with limited space. Its compact design makes the SteriHero Speed+ a small and fast Class B autoclave, ideal for workstations with limited space.

External tanks for added convenience

The external tanks for clean water and waste water make using the autoclave even more convenient. The Plug & Play system with external water tanks eliminates the need for fixed connections to the mains water supply and allows for immediate installation.

Loads optimised for daily use

5-litre chamber fitted with 2 trays. It allows for the sterilisation of up to 2 kg of unpackaged instruments and up to 0.45 kg of packaged instruments. A capacity designed to meet the daily needs of professionals who carry out frequent cycles throughout the day without having to wait for long sterilisation times.

Optimised energy consumption

Power Save mode automatically reduces energy consumption during periods of inactivity. In this way, the autoclave maintains high levels of efficiency whilst limiting energy waste and helping to keep running costs down.

Intuitive programme management

Easy to use, the Smart-Touch display guides the operator through every stage of the sterilisation process. Selecting programmes, monitoring sterilisation cycles and viewing operational information are all intuitive and immediate.

Customisable drying with flexDRY technology

The flexDRY function allows the drying time to be adjusted from 1 to 60 minutes depending on the type of load. This helps avoid unnecessarily long drying times, optimising the entire sterilisation process and ensuring instruments are perfectly dry and ready for use.

Simple and immediate traceability

It allows cycle data to be saved via USB for proper documentation management. The information can be saved to a USB stick and accessed when needed, facilitating data archiving and the documentation of procedures carried out.

Why choose a Class B autoclave for a beauty salon?

The Class B autoclave is the most comprehensive solution for sterilising professional instruments used in beauty salons. Thanks to its fractionated vacuum system, it ensures the correct sterilisation of bagged, unbagged and hollow instruments. It helps maintain high standards of hygiene and safety.

When is a rapid-cycle autoclave useful?

In beauty salons that carry out numerous treatments throughout the day, the availability of instruments is essential. Thanks to its rapid sterilisation cycles, SteriHero Speed+ reduces waiting times between uses. It improves workflow organisation and appointment management.

How long does it take to sterilise bagged instruments?

For bagged instruments, SteriHero Speed+ uses the Universal B programme, a complete Class B cycle.

The duration of the Universal B programme ranges from 11 to 16 minutes (excluding drying). This enables sterile instruments to be produced more quickly than with traditional Class B sterilisation cycles. 

Where can the SteriHero Speed+ be installed?

A compact, small autoclave that fits easily into treatment rooms, manicure areas, pedicure areas or dedicated sterilisation spaces. The system, with its external tanks, allows for simple and immediate installation, without the need for connections to the mains water supply. Its dimensions allow you to make the most of the available workspace, whilst the external tanks offer greater flexibility in choosing where to position the autoclave. A practical solution for those who want professional sterilisation even in environments with limited space.

Which instruments can be sterilised?

The autoclave can be used to sterilise professional instruments compatible with steam sterilisation, whether bagged or unbagged. The fractional vacuum system ensures uniform steam distribution within the sterilisation chamber. This is essential for sterilising professional instruments such as nippers, small nippers, skin pushers, scrapers, burs and, in general, all non-disposable autoclavable instruments used in day-to-day practice.

Why are external tanks an advantage?

External tanks for clean water and waste water allow for immediate installation without the need for connections to the mains water supply. This solution makes the autoclave particularly practical in beauty salons, where flexibility in space management is a key operational advantage.

How does it simplify day-to-day work?

Intuitive programme management, the customisable drying function and rapid cycles help to make the day-to-day management of instruments simpler and faster.

What does compliance with the EN 13060 standard mean?

SteriHero Speed+ is a Class B autoclave compliant with EN 13060, the European standard defining the requirements and performance of small steam sterilizers. The Class B classification identifies the most comprehensive category of autoclaves, designed to sterilise bagged, unbagged, porous and hollow instruments.

Compliance with the EN 13060 standard guarantees that sterilisation cycles are carried out according to controlled parameters of temperature, pressure and air removal. It ensures high standards of safety and reliability in the sterilisation process.
