Made to be seen
From the 7-inch Platinum flagship to the compact SW Series, the Stern Weber range shares an external footprint, a hygiene-led design philosophy and a five-cycle sterilisation programme. Sleek brushed-metal doors, glass touchscreens and the recognisable Stern Weber LED accent — these are autoclaves designed to look as good in your decontamination room as they perform inside it.

How the SW range differs
Three autoclaves, three workflows
Same external dimensions and the same five sterilisation cycle types across all three. The differences sit in water management, drying technology, screen and connectivity.

Frequently asked
What buyers ask us
Are these compatible with UK practice power supplies?
Yes. All three Stern Weber models run on 220/240V at 50Hz, 2300W rated power. They plug into a standard UK 13A socket and don't require a dedicated supply.
What's the difference in B-cycle time across the three models?
At 17 litres, the standard B-cycle on SW Platinum and SW Plus completes in 31 minutes thanks to Modular Drying, which adapts the drying phase to the load. The SW Series uses standard drying — its B-cycle takes 42 minutes at 17L, 46 minutes at 22L and 56 minutes at 28L.
For practices running multiple cycles per day, that's a meaningful productivity difference over the working week.
Do all three models support Prion-cycle sterilisation?
Yes. All three Stern Weber autoclaves include a 134°C Prion B cycle (18-minute sterilisation hold) plus the standard B / S / Vacuum / Helix and B&D test cycles. There's also a Custom cycle that lets you set temperature, sterilisation time and drying time within defined ranges.
How much water does the recycling system on SW Platinum actually save?
SW Platinum uses two filters working together: a demineralisation filter on the main reservoir, and a recirculation filter on the secondary reservoir that purifies used water for reuse. The result is 50 sterilisation cycles from just 5 litres of mains water.
This is unique to SW Platinum within the range — SW Plus uses an integrated demineralisation filter (still mains-water fed, but no recycling), and the SW Series uses mains water with optional demineralisation accessories such as Pure 100 or Pure 500.
What chamber capacities are available, and how many trays do they hold?
All three models are available in 17, 22 and 28-litre chamber sizes. External dimensions are identical at 500 × 490 × 600 mm — installation footprint doesn't change with chamber capacity.
The SW Series specifies five trays for 17L and 22L models, six trays for 28L. An optional Modular Tray Holder accessory adds three pairs of shelves for bulkier loads on all three ranges.
How does cycle reporting and traceability work?
SW Platinum and SW Plus connect via integrated Wi-Fi or Ethernet to Stern Weber's Di.V.A. Cloud platform, with the SterilConnect app providing real-time monitoring from any mobile device. Both support QR code or Barcode label printing for patient-level traceability via the optional MyTrace software.
The SW Series saves up to 10,000 cycles to internal memory, downloadable as PDF via the front USB port. The supplied DataSter software automates downloads to a network folder. Wi-Fi and Ethernet ports are built in, with Cloud platform integration as an optional upgrade.
Can you install and validate the autoclave for us?
Yes. We strongly recommend professional installation for any new autoclave — it covers initial validation, user training, and confirms the device is operating to spec from day one. Contact us for an installation quote based on your practice location and setup.
