The YX18LDJ is a widely utilized 18-liter portable pressure steam autoclave typically supplied by medical and laboratory equipment distributors such as Wincom Company Ltd. and GEA. The differentiating feature of the “LDJ” configuration is its integrated mechanical timer, which provides automated control over the sterilization cycle.
Core Specifications

- Material: Fully heavy-gauge stainless steel construction
Key Structural Features
- Built-in Timer: Features a 0–60 minute manual tracking wheel that automatically cuts off heating once the designated duration finishes.
- Dual-Scale Pressure Gauge: Provides simultaneous visual readouts for both inner chamber pressure MPa and steam temperature °C.
- Safety Valve Defenses: Features an automated overpressure safety relief valve alongside a manually controlled steam release exhaust tap.
- Portable Structure: Configured as a compact top-loading unit with rigid carrying handles, secured using a heavy-duty star-nut bolt sealing system around the rim.
Operational Guidelines
- Water Addition: Always fill the inner chamber with approximately 3 liters of distilled or deionized water. Never operate the system dry, as this will instantly burn out the heating element.
- Chamber Loading: Place your glass, surgical, or lab ware inside the perforated internal stainless steel basket. Ensure items are loosely arranged to allow for free steam circulation.
- Sealing the Lid: Align the sealing gasket, lower the lid, and tighten the wing nuts evenly in a crosswise pattern to prevent pressure leaks.
- Air Displacement: Turn on the heating mechanism with the manual exhaust valve remaining fully open. Allow air to bleed out completely until a steady, uninterrupted plume of pure steam escapes, then close the valve.
- Cycle Execution: Once the target pressure reaches 0.14 MPa 126The YX18LDJ is a widely utilized 18-liter portable pressure steam autoclave typically supplied by medical and laboratory equipment distributors such as Wincom Company Ltd. and GEA.

Maintain this threshold for 15 to 30 minutes depending on the payload.
- Depressurization: Turn off the power. Wait until the pressure gauge returns entirely to zero 0 MPa before slowly opening the exhaust tap and cracking open the lid
