HP-N16 Vertical Autoclave Machine, Pressure Steam Sterilizer
Price, lead time and documents for your market are confirmed in the quotation.
Key takeaways
- Model 4 of 4 in the HP-N13–N16 group: HP-N16 is a vertical autoclave machine for wards and labs.
- Shares the HP-N13–N16 body design: a hand-wheel lid, front gauge, digital keypad and castors.
- Quote-based supply: send quantity, voltage and destination; the data sheet and market documents come with the quotation.
HP-N16 is the last of the four hand-wheel, front-control models in the HP-N13–N16 group – a vertical autoclave machine with its gauge, digital display and keypad pictured on the front panel. The unit can therefore stand with its back to a wall and still be operated from the front.
Key Features
- Floor-standing vertical format – larger loads than a table top unit on a small footprint.
- Front-panel keypad – the product photo shows a keypad under the digital display on the front of HP-N16, with castor wheels below the cabinet.
- Four models, one design – HP-N16 sits last in the sequence, after HP-N15; compare neighboring data sheets.
- Saturated steam under pressure – the standard method for heat- and moisture-tolerant instruments, dressings and glassware.
Applications
Vertical autoclaves serve hospital wards, theatres without a central sterile department, busy clinics and microbiology labs. HP-N16 takes instrument baskets, dressing drums, textiles, glassware and media within the limits in its manual. Clinics moving up from a table top unit to their first floor-standing sterilizer can compare HP-N16 with HP-N15 and the rest of the N13–N16 group.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N16; add HP-N15 if you are still choosing a size.
- Drying – for wrapped packs or linen, ask whether HP-N16 dries the load or a drying model such as HP-P11 fits better.
- Chamber size – ask for the usable diameter and depth of HP-N16 and check your largest tray or drum fits.
- Power supply – state your mains voltage, frequency and plug type; we confirm the supply HP-N16 is built for.
- Quantity – units of HP-N16 and any HP-N models to ship together.

Documents
Certificates, declarations of conformity and test reports for the specific model and destination market are provided with the quotation.
An autoclave is both a pressure vessel and an electrical appliance, and import rules differ by country. Tell us where HP-N16 will be installed and we will confirm which pressure-vessel, electrical-safety and registration documents apply; ask for the data sheet and operating manual with your quote.
Frequently asked questions
+How often should an autoclave be tested?
Monitor every cycle, put a chemical indicator in each pack and run a biological indicator test at least weekly, after repairs and when installing a new unit such as HP-N16. Local regulations may require more; the pressure vessel and safety valve also need periodic inspection.
+How do you use a vertical steam sterilizer?
The steps are: water to the mark, load, seal, start, wait for exhaust and zero pressure, unload with heat-resistant gloves. For HP-N16, the operating manual sets the exact values; ask for it with your quotation.
+What is a vertical autoclave?
It is an upright autoclave: the chamber stands vertically inside a cabinet, loads are lowered in from the top in baskets or drums, and steam under pressure sterilizes them. HP-N16 follows this layout within the HP-N13–N16 group.
+How does HP-N16 compare with the other HP-N13–N16 models?
HP-N16 is the fourth of four models built on the same vertical body. Its published name does not state a volume, so we confirm chamber size, heating power, weight and packed dimensions for HP-N16 – and for HP-N15 if you want to compare – in the quotation.
