Benefit |
| Liquiphant Piezoelectric Level Sensors | Redundant Liquiphant level sensors eliminate troublesome load cells, unsafe associated flexible drain connection lines, and unreliable radar or sonar level sensing devices. |
| Internal Heating Coils | Faster heating and drastically increases vessel life. |
| Welded Stainless Steel Skins | Insulation is completely sealed and safe. We have the safest, most attractive, and highest quality vessels in the EDS industry. |
| Internal Solids Basket | Collects and treats solids so that you never have a safety hazzard or drain problems. |
| Dual Inlet Ball Valves | Our dual ball valves with flush system ensures isolation with no leaks and long valve life. All of our valves are rated at over 1 million cycles. |
| Dual Drain Ball Valves | Our dual ball valves with air test ensure drain isolation with no leaks and long valve life. All of our valves are rated at over 1 million cycles. |
| Easy Access Man-Way | Our man-way is easily opened and handles by one person and features a double o-ring seal with air test. If this air test fails, and alarm is generated and the machine will not run. |
| Quiet Sparger | Bio-Response is known for energy and water conservation. The quiet sparger is an example of this commitment put into action. Cool with less water and save energy. The quiet sparger to discharge has no pump, no moving parts, uses less cooling water, and only cools the effluent. The heat in the vessel is retained for the next cycle |
| Pop-Offs the right way | No expensive pressure vessel required! We build our pop-off systems to ASME code. |
| No short stubs | Our short, large diameter stubs leave allow sterilization temperatures to reach mounted devices. There are no cold spots; safe and complete processing occurs in a Bio-Response EDS every cycle. |
| GE Fanuc Controls | State-of-the-art touch screen with Ethernet connectivity. This is the most technologically advanced and versatile system available and it is standard on all Bio-Response systems. |
The Bio-Response High Temperature EDS is quickly becoming the industry standard for quality, technology, and reliablity for your BSL-3 or BSL-4 facility. This system operates at a user adjustable 255 - 305 degrees F (124 - 152 degrees C) depending on the types of microorganisms present in the lab. The High Temperature EDS is available in many redundant and non-redundant configurations to meet the space and processing needs of your facility.
