Auto-Series Sterilizers
Installation Specifications
 

CONCRETE PAD :
The dimensions of the concrete pad will vary depending on the layout of the equipment chosen. It is recommended to have a minimum of 5 ft. clearance in front of the sterilizers for loading. The length should be 5 ft. greater than the combined length of the San-I-Pak 200/300 Sterilizers, compactor and roll-off container. The pad under the compactor and roll-off container should be a minimum 3,000 psi concrete, steel reinforced, 6" thick. "The concrete pad must be level, with no more than 1/2" slope side to side, or end to end." If the San-I-Pak will be mounted on a dock, the dock must also be level. If there will be variations, alert the factory for assistance in determining suitability.

If a pad is already present at the proposed installation site, insure it conforms with the standards above. For good housekeeping practices, we recommend the installation of a trench drain beneath the area where the compactor and roll-off container connect. The pad should be positioned to allow adequate maneuvering room for the container handling vehicle. Allow a minimum of 45 ft. of clearance space from container "hook-up" end for such equipment.

ANCHORING:
The San-I-Pak equipment will be anchored to the concrete pad using either 5/8" x 4-1/2" or 3/4" x 6" long anchor bolts. Ramset Trubolt anchors or equal will be used. The holes will be drilled in the concrete after the San-I-Pak equipment is placed in position. The holes in the base plates are oversized to permit the use of a concrete drill. The installation personnel will shim to compensate for any pad unevenness and then tighten all nuts securely. The roll-off container guide channels will be anchored utilizing 5/8" x 4-1/2" Ramset Trubolt anchors or equal.

ELECTRICAL:
The San-I-Pak unit requires a 120V control circuit as well as a 3 phase power source.

1 CHAMBER:
The control voltage circuit should be a minimum of 15 amps and be dedicated just to the unit. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 30 amps.

2 CHAMBERS:
The control voltage circuit should be a minimum of 20 amps and be dedicated just to the unit. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 35 amps.

3 CHAMBERS:
The control voltage circuit should be a minimum of 25 amps and be dedicated just to the unit. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 40 amps.

4 CHAMBERS:
The control voltage circuit should be a minimum of 30 amps and be dedicated just to the unit. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 45 amps.

5 CHAMBERS:
The control voltage circuit should be a minimum of 35 amps and be dedicated just to the unit. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 50 amps.

6 CHAMBERS:
The control voltage circuit should be a minimum of 40 amps and be dedicated just to the unit. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 55 amps.

7 CHAMBERS:
The control voltage circuit should be a minimum of 45 amps and be dedicated just to the unit. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 60 amps.

8 CHAMBERS:
The control voltage circuit should be a minimum of 50 amps and be dedicated just to the unit. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 65 amps.

The electrical should be stubbed up as shown in the installation drawing. The electrical can be run from overhead and attached to the San-I-Pak as long as it doesn't interfere with the removal of access panels. After the San-I-Pak has been installed, run the 3 phase power lines between the fused disconnect switch (customer furnished) and the San-I-Pak equipment electrical panel box, in accordance with local codes. This fused disconnect switch should be sized in accordance with the following specs:

"S" Compactor
Compactor, Service Requirements:
208 Volt, 3 Phase = 20 Amp
240 Volt, 3 Phase = 20 Amp
480 Volt, 3 Phase = 15 Amp

"L" Compactor
Compactor, Service Requirements:
208 Volt, 3 Phase = 70 Amp
240 Volt, 3 Phase = 60 Amp
480 Volt, 3 Phase = 30 Amp

"SS" Compactor
Compactor, Service Requirements:
208 Volt, 3 Phase = 70 Amp
240 Volt, 3 Phase = 60 Amp
480 Volt, 3 Phase = 30 Amp

"MS" Compactor
Compactor, Service Requirements:
208 Volt, 3 Phase = 70 Amp
240 Volt, 3 Phase = 60 Amp
480 Volt, 3 Phase = 30 Amp

STEAM SUPPLY:
The San-I-Pak requires a minimum steam pressure of 65 psig, and is capable of handling a maximum of 125 psig. You are only required to install a pressure regulating valve (PRV) in the steam line if your pressure is above 125 psig. If your steam pressure is below 125 psig, do not install a PRV in the line. A return condensate line is not required. All condensate is cooled and discharged to the sanitary sewer.

A 1" insulated steam line is required for systems with 1 to 3 sterilizer chambers & a 1-1/2" insulated steam line is required for systems with 4 to 8 sterilizer chambers.

The San-I-Pak requires a minimum of 97% to 100% saturated steam, poor quality steam is evidenced by excessive condensate generated during sterilization. It is required that a shut off valve and a pressure gauge be installed at the point of connection. The steam line is typically stubbed up through the concrete pad. If this is not possible, the steam line may also be run from overhead and attached to the San-I-Pak so as not to interfere with the removal of access panels.

The San-I-Pak unit comes equipped with an inlet strainer and separate water trap to improve steam quality in the supply line, but if you have a long run of piping, it is advisable to install a drip leg with an additional bucket or thermostatic trap. Insure the steam line has no low spots that may act as a water trap. The steam should be generated from treated boiler water to prevent corrosion and/or buildup in the lines.

WATER SUPPLY:
Systems processing 400 lbs/hr. requires 1/2" water line at a minimum of 30-100 psi.
Systems processing 400-800 lbs/hr. requires 3/4" water line at a minimum of 30-100 psi.
Systems processing 800-1600 lbs/hr. requires 1" water line at a minimum of 30-100 psi
Systems processing 1600-3200 lbs/hr. requires 1-1/2" water line at a minimum of 30-100 psi.

DRAIN:
A floor mount drain should be installed beneath the San-I-Pak near the connection point of the roll-off container. Typically this will connect to a sanitary drain line. For any variances, contact the factory. A 2" copper or black pipe drain line (1 to 3 chambers) or a 3" copper or black pipe drain line (4 to 8 chambers) will be connected to the condensate tank and plumbed so as not to create any back pressure. All condensate will exit from this line.

PHONE LINE:
The PLC with remote diagnostic capability is standard on all sterilizer & compactor systems. A dedicated phone line, separate from the facility's switchboard, must be installed into the electrical cabinet. The phone jack must be a standard A T & T plug in type (Part Number RJ11C). This is for the modem communication for troubleshooting assistance and/or the optional ServNet programming. Note: Warranty not activated until modem is connected.
