Product Description
Professional Class B Sterilization for Busy Dental Practices
The MELAG Vacuclave 123 is a professional 23-litre Class B autoclave designed for dental practices and other healthcare environments that require reliable, efficient instrument sterilization. Its powerful fractionated-vacuum process supports the safe sterilization of a wide range of loads, including wrapped and unwrapped instruments. Furthermore, the Pro Line combines intuitive operation, efficient programs, documentation capabilities, and a stand-alone design to simplify everyday instrument reprocessing.
With a maximum load of 6 kg of instruments or 2 kg of textiles, the Vacuclave 123 gives busy dental practices the capacity they need without requiring a large floor-standing sterilizer. As a result, dental teams can process more instruments per cycle while maintaining an efficient reprocessing workflow.
At TransAfrica Medical Supplies, we provide professional dental equipment together with installation guidance, technical support, maintenance assistance, and user training. In addition, our TransAfrica Academy provides practical training to help dental teams improve equipment operation, infection-control procedures, and clinical workflow efficiency.
Why Choose the MELAG Vacuclave 123?
A reliable sterilizer is one of the most important investments in a dental practice. Therefore, choosing an autoclave should involve more than simply comparing chamber sizes.
The Vacuclave 123 combines:
- 23-litre sterilization chamber for higher instrument capacity.
- Class B sterilization using a fractionated vacuum process.
- Capacity for up to 6 kg of instruments or 2 kg of textiles.
- Multiple sterilization programs for different load requirements.
- Fast Quick-S and Quick-B programs.
- Integrated drying.
- Smart touchscreen operation.
- USB and network documentation.
- Stand-alone operation.
- Energy-saving Power Save mode.
- EasyCare maintenance concept.
Class B Sterilization for Comprehensive Instrument Reprocessing
The Vacuclave 123 uses a powerful fractionated vacuum process to remove air from the sterilization chamber before introducing saturated steam. Consequently, the system can process a broad range of dental instruments and load configurations.
The Class B system is designed for sterilizing:
- Wrapped instruments
- Unwrapped instruments
- Hollow instruments
- Solid instruments
- Porous loads
- Textiles, within the manufacturer's specified load limits
However, users should always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and the applicable infection-control requirements when determining which instruments and loads can be processed.
23-Litre Capacity for Efficient Dental Workflows
The chamber measures approximately 25 cm in diameter and 45 cm in length, providing a chamber volume of approximately 23 litres. The Vacuclave 123 can accommodate loads of up to 6 kg of instruments or 2 kg of textiles.
This makes it particularly suitable for:
- General dental practices
- Multi-chair dental clinics
- Specialist dental centres
- Implantology practices
- Orthodontic clinics
- Dental training institutions
- Medical and podiatry practices
Therefore, practices can process larger instrument loads without immediately moving to a much larger floor-standing sterilization system.
Fast Sterilization Programs
Time is critical in a busy dental practice. For this reason, MELAG provides several programs designed for different sterilization requirements.
The Vacuclave 123 includes:
| Program | Temperature | Holding Time | Typical Program Time* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick-S | 134°C | 3.5 min | 16–20 min |
| Quick-B | 134°C | 5.5 min | 24–27 min |
| Universal-B | 134°C | 5.5 min | 24–31 min |
| Gentle-B | 121°C | 20.5 min | 39–47 min |
| Prion-B | 134°C | 20.5 min | 37–48 min |
*Program times vary according to load and conditions; drying time is additional.
As a result, dental teams can select the appropriate program according to the type and packaging of instruments being processed.
Smart Touch Operation and Documentation
The Vacuclave 123 features an intuitive touchscreen interface designed to make daily operation straightforward. Moreover, its documentation capabilities allow sterilization parameters to be saved via USB or network connectivity, supporting traceability and record keeping.
This is particularly important for modern dental practices that need to maintain organized sterilization records and demonstrate compliance with applicable infection-prevention requirements.
Stand-Alone Installation
The Vacuclave 123 uses an integrated water system and can operate as a stand-alone unit. Therefore, practices can install the sterilizer without requiring a dedicated cooling-water connection.
The unit fits on a worktop approximately 60 cm deep, making it practical for dedicated instrument-reprocessing areas where space is limited.
Designed to Reduce Operating Effort
The Vacuclave 123 incorporates features designed to simplify routine operation and maintenance.
Its Power Save mode reduces energy consumption between sterilization cycles, while the EasyCare concept helps users manage routine tasks such as water supply, tank cleaning, and filter replacement.
Consequently, dental teams can maintain an efficient sterilization workflow without unnecessary complexity.
