Olympic Sterile-Driers offer faster drying in bio-clean air, as recommended by infection control authorities. For safety and efficiency, they are the preferred driers following pasteurization or other methods of high-level disinfection. They are also ideal for drying Sterrad®. VHP®, and V-Pro™ loads. By the use of HEPA-filtered air, Olympic Sterile-Driers eliminate the threat of airborne pathogens recontaminating wet, warm parts while they are being dried. All air entering the drying chamber first passes through a pre-filter and then a HEPA filter which is 99.97% efficient in removing all particles larger than 0.3 micron. And Sterile-Driers can dry more parts faster. They can handle large loads with almost any combination of tubes and parts. Faster drying is achieved by the exclusive recirculating air system that efficiently recaptures heat instead of dissipating it.
