HP-N45 is a horizontal steam autoclave – a pressure steam sterilizer in the front-loading, floor-standing format built for central sterile supply and large loads – and model 2 of 3 in the HP-N44–N46 horizontal group. It shares the open-frame layout of HP-N36–N40 but is pictured with a bright-metal chamber rather than a white one.
Key Features
- Front-loading horizontal chamber – racks and large trays slide in at a fixed height.
- Pictured design – the product photo shows a bright-metal cylindrical chamber on an open steel frame, a radial hand-wheel door, twin gauges above the door, and a lower vessel with a front control box.
- Three-model group – HP-N45 is listed between HP-N44 and HP-N46; ratings are confirmed per model.
- Verifiable cycles – checked with chemical indicators in each pack and routine biological tests.
Applications
Hospitals choose a horizontal unit like HP-N45 when trays, linen and drums outgrow vertical sterilizers, or when a new CSSD is being equipped. As a horizontal cylindrical pressure autoclave for hospital sterilization, HP-N45 suits high-volume trays and packs.
How to specify when requesting a quote

- Installation space – floor area, door-swing clearance, floor loading, drainage and ventilation for HP-N45.
- Chamber size – ask for the usable diameter and depth of HP-N45 and check your largest tray or drum fits.
- Quantity and destination – units, delivery country and shipping terms.

Frequently asked questions
+How do you operate a horizontal autoclave?
Check water or steam supply and power, load trays on the rack without blocking steam flow, close the door and tighten the hand wheel fully, set temperature and time, start, and after the hold vent and cool until the gauges read zero before opening. Trained staff should follow the HP-N45 manual and local pressure-vessel rules.
+What capacity do horizontal autoclaves have?
Horizontal units are usually the largest chambers in a sterilizer range, sized for CSSD trays, linen packs and drums rather than single instrument sets. The HP-N44–N46 group lists three models; the chamber volume of HP-N45 is confirmed on its data sheet.
+What is the difference between a vertical and a horizontal autoclave?
Vertical autoclaves load from the top and suit wards, clinics and labs with moderate volumes; horizontal autoclaves load from the front, hold more and are built for central sterile supply departments that run large trays and textile packs. HP-N45 is a horizontal model; for the other format, see the HP-N07–N23 vertical group.
+How does HP-N45 compare with the other HP-N44–N46 models?
All three models in the HP-N44–N46 group share the pictured design; HP-N45 is listed between HP-N44 and HP-N46. Models in one design group usually differ in chamber size and power, so we send the data sheets for HP-N45 and its neighbors with the quotation for a side-by-side check.
