HP-N46 is model 3 of 3 in the HP-N44–N46 group: a front-loading horizontal steam autoclave with a bright-metal cylindrical chamber on an open frame. It is the last model in the HP-N range; compare it with HP-N45 and, if you prefer an enclosed cabinet, with HP-N41–N43.
Key Features
- High-capacity layout – built for central sterile supply and high-volume loads.
- Bright-metal chamber – as pictured, the cylindrical chamber has a bright metal finish, with a spoked hand-wheel door, two gauges on top and a lower vessel with a control panel.
- Three models, one design – HP-N46 sits last in the sequence, after HP-N45; 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-N46 is intended for instrument trays, linen and textile packs, dressing drums and bulky glassware. Large laboratories and regional hospitals that prefer the bright-metal finish can compare HP-N46 with HP-N44 and HP-N45.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N46; add HP-N45 if you are still choosing a size.
- Power supply – state your mains voltage, frequency and plug type; we confirm the supply HP-N46 is built for.
- Load types – unwrapped, wrapped, hollow, textile or liquid loads; we confirm the air-removal method of HP-N46.
- Daily volume – packs or trays per day, so we can check HP-N46 against the rest of the HP-N44–N46 group.
- Quantity – units of HP-N46 and any HP-N models to ship together.

Frequently asked questions
+What capacity do horizontal autoclaves have?
Horizontal units are chosen when trays, linen packs and drums no longer fit a vertical chamber, and they are sized by the number of trays or packs per cycle. Ask for the chamber dimensions and rack layout of HP-N46 to plan loads.
+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-N46 is a horizontal autoclave; compare it with the HP-N07–N23 vertical group if you are unsure which format fits.
+What is a horizontal autoclave like HP-N46 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-N46 with the quotation.
+How does HP-N46 compare with the other HP-N44–N46 models?
HP-N46 is the third of three 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-N46 – and for HP-N45 if you want to compare – in the quotation.
