Each shelf and loading car has a maximum distributed load capacity as follows:

• 36" (914 mm) car – 90 lbs (40.8 kg) per shelf, 270 lb (122.5 kg) per car

• 48" (1212 mm) car – 120 lbs (54.4 kg) per shelf, 360 lb (163.3 kg) per car

• 60" (1524 mm) car – 150 lbs (68 kg) per shelf, 450 lb (204.1 kg) per car

To increase productivity, shelf modules can be removed from upper shelf supports allowing tall items to be placed on lower shelves.

Three layers of loading car shelf modules, one fixed (bottom) and two adjustable, are furnished as standard.

Replacement shelves, shelf supports and side gates are available, if needed. Adjustable shelf supports and side gates are adjustable to six heights.

Transfer Carriage

A welded tubular steel frame with height-adjustable loading car tracks are provided on the top of the transfer carriage.

The frame has a push bar handle and is supported by two normally-fixed and two swivel casters with neoprene, non-marking, easy-rolling tires. A revolving neoprene protective bumper is installed above each caster. A guide assembly is positioned near floor level at the carriage end opposite the push bar.

When approaching the sterilizer the docking guide aligns with a floor dock on the sterilizer.

• If transfer carriage alignment is off-center during approach to sterilizer, caster lock disengages.

• Normally-fixed casters unlock and swivel, allowing for easier alignment of transfer carriage with sterilizer chamber.

The loading car is secured to the transfer carriage with a spring-loaded latch. A second hand operated latch secures the carriage to sterilizer door frame while the loading car is being rolled into (or out of) the chamber. Both latches are operated from the handle end of the carriage.

Carriage is equipped with a storage area for all shelving components. Storage area can be used when the car is not in use, or when rearranging shelving or adjusting shelf height.

Carriage handle is stainless steel and the frame is painted for corrosion protection.

NOTE: Transfer carriages (also known as transfer cars) for the 26 x 37.5" (660 x 953 mm) hinged door and for the sliding door sterilizer are not interchangeable. The track weldment of the hinged and sliding door versions are different. The latch dimension (below the track) is 4-3/8" (112 mm) for the hinged door and 2-7/16" (60 mm) for the sliding door transfer carriage.

For reference purposes, the appropriate part number is labeled on each 26 x 37.5" (660 x 953 mm) transfer carriage and each loading car.

CHAMBER RACK AND SHELF SET

Chamber rack and shelves for use with 26 x 37.5 x 36" (660 x 953 x 914 mm) sterilizers, the rack and shelf set provides loading efficiency for a variety of mixed or single item loads.

Shelves are completely removable for processing bulk loads.

Rack has guides to accommodate one, two or three shelves.

When two or three shelves are used they must be spaced equally. Two shelves are furnished as standard. An additional shelf is available, if needed.

Rack and shelves are constructed from stainless steel. Angle guides with rollers support the shelves. Stops allow each shelf to be withdrawn approximately halfway. Each shelf is welded, suitably reinforced and designed to allow free passage of steam.
