Biomedical research and vivarium facilities

Cabinet washers support small to medium facilities, while cage and rack washers address higher throughput. For larger operations, modular tunnel washers enable automated reprocessing with defined clean and dirty sides. Systems are designed to handle a wide range of cage designs and sizes with consistent cleaning performance and ergonomic loading.

Steam sterilizers support sterilization of cages, bedding, diet and drinking water bottles entering controlled areas, as well as sterilization of liquid or dry waste exiting the facility. Cabinet sterilizers suit routine loads, while bulk sterilizers address larger, higher-throughput requirements. Decontamination airlocks support controlled transfer between areas in germfree/SPF and containment environments. Air showers can be integrated to support personnel movement between zones with adequate allergen control.

Aquatic research facilities require effective removal of algae and biofilm from tanks, lids and breeding equipment. SteelcoBelimed washers can be configured for aquatic tank cleaning, providing appropriate spray coverage and controlled chemical dosing to ensure consistent results while protecting sensitive tank materials used in research environments.
