Frequently Asked Questions

How do the 18 L and 23 L models differ?

The 18 L model has a Ø245 × 350 mm chamber, 1500 W power rating and 49 kg weight. The 23 L model has a Ø245 × 465 mm chamber, 2000 W power rating and 54 kg weight. Both list a 660 × 455 × 445 mm cabinet; allow the installation clearances required for the supplied unit.

Which program timings are shown?

The table separates sterilization hold and drying times for wrapped, unwrapped and textile programs. They are not advertised as total cycle duration; preparation, heating and pressure-release phases also take time.

How should I select the capacity?

Compare the actual instrument and tray dimensions, normal batch contents, wrapping requirements and available processing space. Nominal capacity alone does not establish the permitted load or usable tray arrangement.

Can the page replace the operating manual?

No. This page is for equipment comparison and project enquiries. Use the current manual and instrument instructions for operation, loading, cycle selection, safety checks and maintenance.

What documents should I request for my market?

Specify your country and the model/version being considered. Ask for the relevant configuration data sheet, installation drawing, operating manual and applicable regulatory documentation, including the scope covered.

What information helps RUNDA prepare a quotation?

Send your application, capacity, preferred version, daily workload, market, power and plug requirements, printing needs, expected quantity and any OEM requirements. The team can then review a defined configuration.
