Steam Cleaners – Powerful and Eco-Friendly Cleaning for the Laboratory

Steam cleaners offer an efficient, fast, and environmentally friendly solution for cleaning and removing stubborn dirt from various surfaces and instruments in the laboratory. By utilizing the power of high-pressure hot water vapor, these devices can break down and remove organic and inorganic dirt without the need for harsh chemicals.

Operating Principle: The Power of Hot Water and High Pressure

Steam cleaners operate on a simple and effective principle: water is heated within a pressure boiler until it turns into steam at a high temperature (above 100°C / 212°F) and significant pressure. The steam is released through a controlled nozzle directly onto the area targeted for cleaning. The combination of high temperature (which dissolves grease and breaks down dirt), moisture (which softens and helps dissolve contaminants), and mechanical pressure (which aids in dislodging dirt from the surface) allows for thorough and deep cleaning. This method is particularly effective for removing greasy residues, wax, agar, adhesives, and other contaminants that are difficult to remove by other methods.

Key Applications of Steam Cleaning in the Laboratory

The ability to clean powerfully without chemicals makes steam cleaners suitable for a variety of uses:

• General cleaning of laboratory glassware and metalware.
• Removing greasy residues, wax, and agar from containers and work surfaces.
• Cleaning components and parts of laboratory equipment (e.g., parts of fume hoods or other instruments, according to manufacturer instructions).
• Cleaning and preparing instruments before sterilization processes.
• Thorough cleaning of hard-to-reach corners and crevices.
• Removing labels and adhesive residues from various surfaces.
• Cleaning stubborn stains in the lab without damaging the surface (depending on surface type and manufacturer recommendations).
