Blackstone's DGT-45Z is a 45-litre Class B benchtop steam steriliser designed around a 320 mm chamber deep enough for full tray sets. The cylinder runs 615 mm from door to back wall, and the unit is rated at 3.5 kW on AC 110 V 60 Hz or AC 220 V 50 Hz. On the Blackstone sheet, rows shared across the series list 139 °C as the design temperature, 0.22 MPa and 134 °C as the rated working pressure and temperature, and 116 to 134 °C as the sterilising range. Design pressure starts at −0.1 MPa, sterilising time at 4 minutes, and drying time at 0 minutes.

Capacity is the defining feature, and the room has to be ready for it. At 3.5 kW, the unit draws about 15 A on a 230 V supply, beyond what a 13 A plug can carry, so it needs a dedicated circuit. Its 102 kg mass calls for mechanical handling and a bench or stand rated for it, and the 850 mm depth rules out most standard worktops. Heat from the cabinet and space around its vents complete the list.

Series information places the HS-DGT-Z range in Class B, covering wrapped, porous and hollow loads. The series photograph shows a broad door with a recessed pull, a slim control panel with display, an opening grip, adjustable feet and side vents. The enquiry team supplies the upper limits of the time and design pressure ranges, the programme list, trays, water arrangements and clearances.

Overall, the cabinet measures 850 mm long, 660 mm wide and 570 mm high. Medigear. UK offers it to buyers in more than 80 countries, and the enquiry team provides stock and lead times.

Busy dental practices and dental hubs, hospital outpatient and day surgery units, and clinics that process full tray sets in each cycle are the natural buyers for the DGT-45Z. As a Class B steriliser, it takes wrapped and pouched sets, handpieces and other hollow instruments, and porous items, with 45 litres of chamber volume on a bench.

A unit of this size makes its own demands on the building. Its 3.5 kW rating draws about 15 A on a 230 V supply, beyond the 13 A rating of a standard plug, so the installation requires a dedicated circuit. At 102 kg, it is also well past the HSE guideline lifting figures of 25 kg for men and 16 kg for women in good conditions, and a two-person team should handle only about two-thirds of their combined capacity: mechanical handling, not a team lift, gets it to the bench.

The bench matters as much as the lift. A base of 850 × 660 mm overhangs most standard worktops, so departments plan either a deeper bench or a purpose-built stand rated for the unit, its water and a full load, with clear space around the side vents.

Treated as an estates project from the start, with circuit, support, ventilation and water agreed before delivery, the DGT-45Z gives a department large-batch vacuum sterilising without moving to a floor-standing machine.

Tender specifications, including NHS ones, set out electrical, structural, and capacity requirements for equipment of this size, and buyers in other public systems work the same way. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

Large Batches on a Bench

Forty-five litres of chamber volume takes full tray sets in each cycle. Departments gain large-batch vacuum sterilising while keeping the steriliser on a bench or stand.

Power Demand Stated Up Front

The 3.5 kW rating tells the electrician exactly what to provide. The electrician can design and install a dedicated circuit before the unit arrives.

A UK Supply Version

The sheet lists an AC 220 V 50 Hz version alongside AC 110 V 60 Hz. UK departments order the version that matches their mains.

Clear Handling Figures

The unit weighs 102 kg and its crate 127 kg. Delivery teams can plan the right lifting equipment from the start.

A Defined Footprint

The cabinet measures 850 × 660 × 570 mm. The bench or stand can be specified to those figures, with room for the vents.

A Vessel Rated for Vacuum

The design pressure range begins at −0.1 MPa, so the vessel is built for the vacuum stages as well as the pressure hold.

Working Figures for Validation

A rated working pressure of 0.22 MPa, a rated working temperature of 134 °C and a sterilising range of 116 to 134 °C give validation engineers defined targets.

Class B Scope

Series information places the range in Class B, so wrapped, porous and hollow loads all fall within its intended use.

A Readable Panel

The series photograph shows a slim control panel with a display beside the door. Staff can follow cycle progress from the working position.

45-Litre Chamber

The cylindrical chamber measures 320 mm across and 615 mm deep, about 49 litres in volume, compared with a nominal 45 litres.

The DGT-45Z suits busy dental practices, dental hubs, outpatient and day surgery units, and clinics that process full tray sets of wrapped, porous, and hollow instruments and can provide a dedicated circuit and strong, deep support. It is not the right choice for rooms limited to standard 13 A sockets, for 600 mm worktops without a stand, or for sites that cannot arrange mechanical handling. Before ordering, have an electrician design the circuit, specify the bench or stand, plan the lift and agree ventilation and water. Medigear.uk lists the DGT-45Z for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Ask the enquiry team for the clearances, range limits, tray list, and EN 13060 evidence before ordering.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

A 3.5 kW load draws roughly 15 A on a 230 V supply, and a standard UK plug is rated at 13 A. The unit therefore needs a dedicated circuit, usually 16 A, with a matching socket or a fixed connection, designed to BS 7671 by an electrician. The sheet lists AC 110 V 60 Hz and AC 220 V 50 Hz versions, so specify the 220 V 50 Hz unit for UK mains.

Its base measures 850 × 660 mm, and a typical worktop is only 600 mm deep, so plan either a deeper bench or a purpose-built stand. Whatever you use must carry 102 kg plus water and a full load, sit level, and leave space around the side vents. The manufacturer's clearance figures come with the quotation.

With lifting aids, not hands alone. HSE guideline figures for lifting in good conditions are 25 kg for men and 16 kg for women. A two-person team should handle no more than about two-thirds of their combined capacity, so a 102 kg unit is far beyond a team carry. A pallet truck, lifting table or similar equipment, planned under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and LOLER, is the safe route.

A 3.5 kW steriliser warms the room it works in, especially during long sessions, and the side vents need open air. Plan the room's ventilation with the steriliser running, and follow the clearance figures the enquiry team shares for the back and sides.

Benchtop sterilisers of this kind run on distilled or reverse-osmosis water to protect the steam generator and instruments from mineral deposits. The quotation includes how to fill and drain the DGT-45Z, and whether a supply connection is possible.

The shared rows for the series set the design temperature at 139 °C, the rated working pressure at 0.22 MPa, the rated working temperature at 134 °C, and the sterilising range at 116 to 134 °C. The design pressure range begins at −0.1 MPa, and the sterilising and drying time ranges begin at 4 minutes and 0 minutes; their upper limits come from the enquiry team with the programme list.

As a Class B steriliser, it handles wrapped and pouched sets, hollow instruments such as handpieces, and porous items. Its 45-litre chamber suits practices and departments that process full tray sets in each run. A standard 300 × 300 × 600 mm module does not fit the 320 mm bore, so trays are sized to the chamber; the enquiry team lists the trays supplied.

EN 13060 covers small steam sterilisers, and with a nominal 45 litres (about 49 litres by geometry), and no room for a standard module, the DGT-45Z falls within it. Class B is the vacuum class under that standard. The evidence to request is the manufacturer's Class B type testing to EN 13060, followed by validation and periodic tests under the decontamination guidance for the setting.

A steam steriliser counts as a pressure system under Great Britain's Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, so a competent person draws up its written scheme of examination. PUWER covers safe use and training, BS 7671 the electrical circuit, and the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and LOLER the delivery. Medigear.uk can arrange installation, commissioning and service cover.

Every pouch or tray should carry a reference that links it to its cycle record. The enquiry team describes how the DGT-45Z stores or prints that record so that traceability can be set up before the first load.

The DGT-45Z is typically Class IIa under UK MDR 2002, or higher depending on use, as stated on the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, which the enquiry team shares. The declaration identifies the legal manufacturer and should reference EN 13060, EN 61010-1, and EN 61010-2-040.
