HP-N40 is the horizontal autoclave that closes the five-model HP-N36–N40 group. It keeps the group’s white cylindrical chamber, twin gauges and lower vessel; compare HP-N40 with HP-N39 on the data sheets sent with the quotation.
Key Features
- High-capacity layout – built for central sterile supply and high-volume loads.
- Twin gauges and lower vessel – as pictured, two gauges sit above the door and a second vessel with a front control box is mounted below the chamber.
- Five models, one design – HP-N40 sits last in the sequence, after HP-N39; compare neighboring data sheets.
- Saturated steam under pressure – the standard method for heat- and moisture-tolerant instruments, dressings and glassware.
Applications
Horizontal autoclaves are installed in hospital central sterile supply departments (CSSD), theatre sterile services and large laboratories. HP-N40 is intended for instrument trays, linen and textile packs, dressing drums and bulky glassware. Research institutes and university labs that sterilize bulky glassware and media in large batches can compare HP-N40 with HP-N39.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N40; add HP-N39 if you are still choosing a size.
- Safety features – ask for the protection list of HP-N40: safety valve, interlock, over-temperature, low-water cut-off.
- Documents – name the destination market for the pressure-vessel and electrical-safety papers that apply.
- Spare parts – gaskets, baskets or trays, fuses and heating elements to ship with HP-N40.
- Quantity – units of HP-N40 and any HP-N models to ship together.

Frequently asked questions
+What is a horizontal autoclave?
It is a front-loading autoclave with a horizontal cylindrical or rectangular chamber, used where large trays, packs and drums are sterilized in volume. HP-N40 belongs to the HP-N36–N40 group of horizontal pressure steam sterilizers.
+What is a horizontal autoclave like HP-N40 used for?
Typical users are hospital CSSDs, surgical centers and large laboratories that sterilize trays, linen packs, drums and glassware in volume. We confirm the programs and load limits of HP-N40 with the quotation.
+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-N40 is a horizontal autoclave; compare it with the HP-N07–N23 vertical group if you are unsure which format fits.
+How does HP-N40 compare with the other HP-N36–N40 models?
HP-N40 is the fifth of five models built on the same horizontal body. Its published name does not state a volume, so we confirm chamber size, heating power, weight and packed dimensions for HP-N40 – and for HP-N39 if you want to compare – in the quotation.
