HP-N20 Vertical Autoclave Sterilizer, Pressure Steam Type
Price, lead time and documents for your market are confirmed in the quotation.
Key takeaways
- Model 4 of 7 in the HP-N17–N23 group: HP-N20 is a vertical autoclave sterilizer for wards and labs.
- Shares the HP-N17–N23 body design: a hand-wheel lid, side control panel, gauge and castors.
- Quote-based supply: send quantity, voltage and destination; the data sheet and market documents come with the quotation.
HP-N20 is listed fourth of the seven HP-N17–N23 models. It is a top-loading vertical autoclave sterilizer with the group’s upper-side control panel, which leaves the front of the cabinet clear apart from the pressure gauge (as pictured).
Key Features
- Floor-standing vertical format – larger loads than a table top unit on a small footprint.
- Upper-side control panel – the product photo shows the controls set high on the side of the cabinet, a hand wheel on the lid and castor wheels below.
- Seven models, one design – HP-N20 sits between HP-N19 and HP-N21; compare neighboring data sheets.
- No chemical sterilant – steam and pressure do the work; the running inputs are water and heat.
Applications
Laboratories use a vertical unit like HP-N20 for media, glassware and autoclavable plastics; hospitals use it for instrument sets, drums and linen where a horizontal CSSD machine would be oversized. Hospital labs that alternate between media runs and ward instrument loads can compare HP-N20 with HP-N19 and HP-N21.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N20; add HP-N19 and HP-N21 if you are still choosing a size.
- Chamber size – ask for the usable diameter and depth of HP-N20 and check your largest tray or drum fits.
- Power supply – state your mains voltage, frequency and plug type; we confirm the supply HP-N20 is built for.
- Load types – unwrapped, wrapped, hollow, textile or liquid loads; we confirm the air-removal method of HP-N20.
- Quantity – units of HP-N20 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-N20 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 long does an autoclave take to sterilize?
Plan for the full cycle, not only the hold: heat-up and air removal, the hold at sterilizing temperature (longer at lower temperatures and for wrapped packs), then exhaust, cooling and drying. The actual cycle time of HP-N20 depends on load and model; we confirm its program data with the quotation.
+How do you use a vertical autoclave machine like HP-N20?
Check water, load, seal the lid, start the program, wait for exhaust and zero pressure, then unload. Keep a log of each cycle and test results. Settings for HP-N20 are in its operating manual.
+What is the difference between a vertical and a horizontal autoclave?
The chamber orientation decides how you load: top-loading baskets in a vertical unit, front-loading racks and trays in a horizontal one. Horizontal units usually carry larger chambers and need more installation planning. HP-N20 is a vertical autoclave; compare it with the HP-N36–N46 horizontal group if you are unsure which format fits.
+How does HP-N20 compare with the other HP-N17–N23 models?
HP-N20 is the fourth of seven 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-N20 – and for HP-N19 and HP-N21 if you want to compare – in the quotation.
