AC 1200
Compact cage and bottle washer
AC 1200 is a compact-size washing device specially designed to wash and sanitize all types of animal care equipment in your vivarium: cages, feeding bottles, and fish tanks. The compact design grants the highest installation flexibility and minimizes operating costs.
Available in single door or double door versions for pass-through application, the device offers the highest levels of cleaning efficacy, with micro-organisms’ thermal/chemical destruction by rinsing at 85°C / 185°F through an independent hydraulic circuit ensuring a contamination-free environment. Electrical- or steam-heated, the unit is equipped with a double dosage unit for chemicals as standard; additional dosing systems can be added upon request.
AC 1200 features an upper drop-down vertical space-saving sliding loading door. The lower section of the door, when open, acts as a loading platform for the loading tray allowing a convenient loading and unloading job. A comprehensive range of dedicated accessories allows for the optimized loading of animal cages and washing carts with injection systems for bottles.
Optimal cleaning performance
The washing system, operating with independent washing and rinsing hydraulic circuits, features three-level rotating spray arms positioned on the top, middle, and bottom levels of the washing chamber. Washing water is loaded in the washing chamber sump and heated up to the temperature defined for the washing phase. Final rinse water for sanitization is heated up into an AISI 316L pre-heating side tank. Temperatures are monitored by temperature probes.
Smart filtering system
We protect your equipment’s life cycle and guarantee safety to the user: an innovative multistage water filtering system combined with a self-cleaning filter for recirculation of the washing water. In addition, the machines are equipped with an independent washing/rinsing hydraulic system for an extra level of cleanliness.
Aquatic tank processing kit
Specific kit for the reprocessing of aquatic tanks used in research facilities, including three chemical dosage pumps, upgrade to washing circuit, flow meters, and a conductivity probe.
Features

Process quality
Flow meters for redundancy chemical dosing control and a conductivity sensor for accurate measuring of the conductivity value during the final rinse are available as options.
Intuitive control system
User-friendly PLC control panel, allowing for 40 programming options.
Traceability
RS 232 port for printer. USB port for historical cycle data download and software upgrades. Integrated printer available as option.
Solutions
Biomedical Research
Vivarium operations depend on reliable cage and bottle reprocessing with controlled separation of clean and dirty zones. In germfree/SPF or higher biosecurity and containment settings, consistent reprocessing and controlled transfer help reduce cross-contamination risk. SteelcoBelimed provides integrated washing, sterilization, decontamination and automated handling solutions designed for high throughput and safe workflows.
