The Agkem B Class Autoclave is a 23-litre vacuum steriliser built for clinics that run several cycles a day, with 121°C and 134°C programmes, a −0.8 bar vacuum system and built-in safety protections.
Every reusable instrument, from handpieces and forceps to scaler tips and burs, has to be cleaned and steam-sterilised between patients. A dental autoclave does that job, and its class, capacity and cycle options decide what you can sterilise and how many instruments you can turn around in a day.
AGKEM’s autoclave is a Class B unit, the type designed for hollow, porous and wrapped loads such as handpieces and pouched instrument sets. Its 23-litre chamber suits medium to large clinics that need consistent sterilisation through the day.

Small steam sterilisers are commonly grouped under the EN 13060 standard:
If you sterilise handpieces or pouched instrument sets, a Class B autoclave is the usual choice.
Autoclave prices vary with class (B or N), chamber size, vacuum and drying systems, record-keeping options, brand, warranty and service support. Class B units generally cost more than Class N because of the vacuum system. AGKEM quotes the 23-litre B Class Autoclave on enquiry, including any printer or USB option you need.
A Class B autoclave uses a vacuum phase to remove air before sterilising, so steam can penetrate hollow, porous and wrapped instruments. It is the class typically chosen for dental handpieces and pouched instrument sets.
For clinics sterilising handpieces and pouched instruments, a Class B autoclave sized to the daily instrument load. The Agkem B Class Autoclave has a 23-litre chamber and is designed for several cycles a day, suiting medium to large clinics.
134°C is used for most heat-resistant metal instruments. 121°C is for items rated for lower sterilisation temperatures. Always follow the instrument manufacturer’s instructions.
Class B autoclaves are designed for hollow loads such as handpieces. Clean and lubricate handpieces as their manufacturer recommends before sterilising.
Use the water type specified in the manual. The Agkem B Class Autoclave includes a water quality sensor to help protect the unit.
