6.7 Precautions for Autoclaving and SIP (Steam-In-Place)

When autoclaving the pump head the, Autoclaving Reinforcing Tool ART-200.1 (see Table 3) shall be used to
minimize distortion effects of the pump housing cup during exposure to higher temperatures.
Figure 37 illustrates the mounting of the pump head on to the ART-200.1. The pump head shall be fixed with
4 screws according to the same procedure as described in Section 6.3.5.
Figure 37: Mounting of Autoclaving Reinforcing Tool ART-200.1
After autoclaving and SIP (Steam-In-Place) it is recommended to periodically tighten up the pump housing
screws to Section 6.4.3. The re-mounting to the motor after autoclaving shall be done according to Section
6.4.
Depending on the number of autoclaving or SIP cycles and the duration, distortion
effects in the pump head may lead to performance reduction. It is therefore
recommended to run the pump 10% below the maximum speed after autoclaving
or SIP.
Note: SIP with the pump head mounted on the driver has so far not been tested and may lead to overheating
of the electronics within the driver. Additional cooling may be required or the usage of the PuraLev
recommended. Please contact Levitronix for more information.
