Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is this to install in my garage?

- Installation is the same as installing a new outlet for a dryer or a electric vehicle. We recommend consulting your local electrician to help with that part. The unit comes ready for a plug of your choice. You can purchase a male and female 30 AMP Single Phase plug at any hardware store.

What is the process to sterilize grain bags?

- Prepare your grain bags like normal. Remove the two stainless steel baskets, add around 4 -4.5 Gallons of filtered water. Load your grain bags in a circular pattern stacking to the top. You can load them any way you would like. Once grain bags/jars are loaded close the top and tighten the clamps. We recommend starting with control panel settings of 121° Celsius and 3 hours and 30 minute sterilization time when full. The other option is whether you want it to shut off and cool down naturally when finished or a computerized slow vent. The slow vent option takes about 20 minutes to exhaust pressure and is nice for doing back to back cycles

How long does it take to cool after sterilizing?

- There are two options after the cook cycle is done. The first option is for the machine to turn off and slowly cool naturally. This takes about 3-4 hours. The second option is a computerized slow venting of the pressure. This option is great for running the machine back to back. The autoclave will slowly exhaust the pressure in about 15-25 mins.

How much substrate or grain can I sterilize at once?

- The 150L Model can sterilize 128-140 lbs of grain or substrate per cycle, depending on the bag size and loading configuration. The inner chamber size is approximately 20.5" wide X 29.5" Tall.

I called with a question about my recent purchase, which came super fast! I talked to the autoclave tech and he spent 40 minutes going over all the features and setup with me, told me stuff I didnt even ask that has really helped our production schedule! This is a great machine so far and their support and knowledge of these machines is priceless. Would 100% buy from them again.

Works as it should

I wanted to leave a review for this, while I just purchased the bigger 200L, we have been running this unit since January and no issues whatsoever. Just get yourself a shop vac to use for changing water as the spigot on the side is super slow to drain. Otherwise we have no issues and use this for grains, bulk sub, Masters Mix and even large LC's.

So far so good

Shipping is prompt. Setup is straightforward, standard 240v 30amp hookup. I have only run a few test cycles and heats up very fast, controls are easy to use. They are in Celcius but 121 degrees is where you should set it for 15 PSI. I love the computer controlled slow vent feature. Good price! Great service

Love it!

Should have bought one of these year ago! Bags turn out perfect everytime! No more watching the stoves and adjusting flame levels! Literally load and walk away! I also love the slow vent after cycle is done, speeds turn around times way up!

Thank you!

I want to leave this review and let you know how helpful Jay was in helping me with all my technical questions in my attempt to hook this unit up in my garage. I am not an electrician but was confident I could hook this up myself. I had an unused 30 amp 220v breaker on my panel and Jay was kind enough to call me back and walk me through the steps on connecting this autoclave up. He also walked me through the process and settings, which were very simple but just make sure you have something handy to convert celcius to farenheight and MPA to PSI. Other than that, Ive used it 3 times and it really cant be any easier, just fill a 5-gallon bucket with filtered water, add your water so it passes the low water sensor, load your baskets, close the lid and once you have your settings inputed it remembers them and its literally one button to start the cycle. Unit is well made and seems like it will hold up!
