The Tuttnauer 1730 Valueklave Autoclave is a compact, fast, and economical manual steam sterilizer engineered for small practices that need reliable performance without sacrificing speed. With its 7" × 13" chamber and rapid cycle times, the 1730 is ideal for medical clinics, dental offices, veterinary practices, tattoo studios, body piercing shops, cosmetology environments, and as a secondary quick‑turn autoclave in larger facilities.
Built for efficiency, the 1730 delivers 11‑minute hot‑start cycles and 16‑minute cold‑start cycles for unwrapped instruments, supported by heated drying for fast turnaround. Its simple controls, easy‑closing door, and low‑maintenance design make daily operation effortless.
Durability is a core advantage. The unit features a long‑life electro‑polished chamber and door, ensuring corrosion resistance and years of dependable use. Safety is engineered into every cycle with a double safety locking device that prevents the door from opening under pressure and dual overheating protection. A front‑mounted drain valve allows quick, clean reservoir emptying—perfect for busy workflows.
Compact yet capable, the 1730 accommodates three stainless steel trays and two half‑size cassettes, making it a powerful sterilization solution for facilities with limited space but high standards for infection control.
