HP-P20 Vertical Pulse Vacuum Autoclave
Price, lead time and documents for your market are confirmed in the quotation.
Key takeaways
- HP-P20 is the second of four vertical pulse vacuum autoclaves, HP-P19 to HP-P22.
- A pre and post vacuum autoclave removes air before sterilization and pulls moisture out after it.
- Whether HP-P20 runs a post-vacuum drying stage is confirmed on its data sheet with the quote.
HP-P20 is the second model in the Pulse-Vacuum version of our vertical line, a vertical pulse vacuum autoclave for clinics, wards and labs that process wrapped and porous loads. Buyers often search for a pre post vacuum autoclave: one that pulls vacuum before sterilization for air removal and after it for drying.
HP-P20 sits between HP-P19 and HP-P21. Its data sheet shows the number of vacuum pulses, the vacuum level and whether the drying stage uses vacuum, so you can compare it with the Drying Internal Circulation version, HP-P16 to HP-P18.

Frequently asked questions
+What is a pre and post vacuum autoclave?
It uses vacuum twice: before sterilization, pulses of vacuum and steam remove air from the chamber and packs; after sterilization, a vacuum phase helps evaporate moisture so the load comes out dry. We confirm the HP-P20 cycle structure on its data sheet.
+What is a pre-vacuum autoclave cycle?
A typical cycle runs air removal with vacuum pulses, heat-up to sterilizing temperature, a holding phase, exhaust and drying. The number of pulses and the holding temperature and time depend on the program selected.
+How long is a vacuum autoclave cycle?
Total cycle time includes vacuum pulses, heat-up, holding, exhaust and drying, so it is longer than the holding time alone and varies with the load. Ask for the HP-P20 program times on its data sheet.
+Does a vacuum autoclave need a Bowie-Dick test?
Where porous loads are processed, a daily Bowie-Dick-type test is the usual way to confirm air removal and steam penetration. It is run in an empty chamber at the start of the day, following your local guidance.
