Servicing
1. Autoclaves

The purchase of capital equipment is a decision for the long term. It must operate efficiently with as little unproductive time as possible. Therefore the maintenance and calibration of the equipment by qualified personnel can be as important as the initial purchase.
The quality of LTE's Support Services is recognised by its UKAS accreditation for on-site calibration. The services are provided through our team of trained service engineers and distributors in the field, backed up by specialists at our headquarters Service Centre, where we also keep a large stock of spare parts. These facilities enable us to respond quickly and effectively to customer requests.
The extensive customer care portfolio includes:
Regular maintenance service
We offer contracts for regular servicing of your equipment. Calibration, load tests and validations can be added to the contract if required
Contract customers received discounts for spare parts and emergency call-outs.
Calibration
The service, carried out under UKAS-accredited procedures, covers calibration for time, temperature and pressure using high-specification recording equipment.
Installation and commissioning
Our trained engineers will install and connect your equipment. The service includes functional testing on site.
Thermometric load tests and validations
Load and validation tests of sterilizing equipment verify the effectiveness of the operating cycle in achieving the required result. LTE's test uses 12 thermocouples place around the load and the chamber, linked to a data recorder. A full thermometric profile validates the cycle for the chosen parameters.
