Rating of the best glasperlene sterilizers for 2022

A modern sterilizer is a device for disinfecting instruments and containers from microorganisms harmful to the human body. Depending on the type of heat treatment, several types of such equipment are offered on the market, among which the popularity of models is given to glasperlenic sterilizers. This article provides an overview of the features of his work, gives recommendations on how to choose the right model, and also compiled a rating of the best glasperlen sterilizers for 2022.

Sterilizer: what is it and what is it for?

Sterilization is the most reliable and cost-effective way to disinfect various instruments and containers. The principle of its action is to warm up to critical temperatures, at which any kind of living microorganisms die. To achieve these goals, a specialized thermal device is used, which provides for heating control, which makes it possible to prevent the destruction of the treated surfaces.

The sterilizers currently offered in mass production have a wide range of applications. So, according to the purpose, heat treatment equipment is usually divided into the following types

• medical;
• for beauty salons;
• household.

The first group includes devices, primarily disinfecting surgical instruments, as well as devices for examinations in otolaryngology, gynecology and dentistry. For this purpose, steam and dry-heat cabinets are used, and in the future, to maintain sterility, the instrument is placed in quartz sterilizers.

In beauty salons, heat treatment devices are used to sterilize scissors, nail files, nippers and other general use hairdressing and manicure devices.Most often, in such institutions, quartz models of equipment or small dry-heat cabinets are used. Such devices take up little space and process precisely the instrumental part that comes into contact with the skin of clients.

The third group includes equipment used for domestic purposes. These are sterilization plants designed for processing glass jars before conservation, which involves exposure to water vapor. There are also sterilizers for disinfecting baby bottles.

What kind there are sterilizers

In addition to classification by purpose, specialized sterilizers are distinguished depending on the impact technology. So, the following main types of devices are offered on the modern market:

• Quartz - a compact device with a bowl located inside for filling sand. As a rule, it is used for manicure instruments, sterilizes at a temperature of about 250 degrees, affects only the working surface of the instruments (without handles).
• Glasperlene (ball) - a device related to the ball type, but differing in the use of glass balls, not quartz sand, the diameter of which is supported depending on the size of the workpiece. It has a high processing speed of tools (about 20 seconds), operates at high temperatures and is energy efficient.
• Ultraviolet - a device more suitable for storing already processed stainless steel devices than for sterilizing them. It does not work at high temperatures, which is why it does not guarantee the death of all living microorganisms. At the same time, it is a device designed for the disinfection of tools made of plastic and other materials that do not tolerate heat (combs, files, buffs, sponges).

• Ultrasonic - a device whose functionality includes processing, although not very large products (milling cutters, tweezers), but at the same time having hard-to-reach places (hollows, notches, etc.). This type of apparatus works by adding a special solution that flows around the tool under the influence of vibration. Also, during ultrasonic work, numerous microbubbles are collected together and burst, due to which the surface of the product is cleaned of pathogenic microorganisms and rust.

In medicine, and even in a separate part of the beauty industry, another type of well-known heat treatment equipment is used - dry heat cabinets. They work at high temperatures (260 degrees) and, despite the long processing time (1-2 hours), guarantee the complete removal of any bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms from the surface of the instruments. Such devices have large dimensions and allow processing fixtures of various sizes and lengths. An alternative to devices are autoclaves, which are a chamber inside which high pressure is created with a temperature of up to 134 degrees.

How it works and criteria for choosing a glasperlen sterilizer

A glasperlenic (ball) sterilizer is a device for processing medical (usually for a small dental office) or manicure instruments under high temperature and pressure in order to remove bacteria and fungi that have accumulated on their surface.The device has small dimensions and works by heating special glass beads to a temperature of 160 to 250 degrees, which is primarily what distinguishes it from other types of heat treatment devices. The balls filling it are made of high-strength quartz glass. The main advantages of such a device include:

• high processing speed (one cycle takes 15-20 seconds);
• compact dimensions (a standard device is no larger than a regular mug);
• ease of use (lack of modes and programs).

In turn, according to buyers and specialists, of the significant disadvantages of such equipment can be noted:

• periodic change of balls is required (1-2 times a year);
• it processes only the working part of the tool, does not affect the handles (in some cases this fact can be called a plus);
• balls dull machined fixtures;
• lack of control options for the sterilization process.

In fact, the main area of ​​​​use of a glasperlenic sterilizer, even if it has a registration certificate from the Ministry of Health, is the processing of cutters. The device is also suitable for those who do manicure at home for themselves and their relatives, that is, for personal needs.

As a rule, all devices of this type are equipped with identical operating technology: they are equipped with a power button and indicator lights. But, today the market offers many models of such equipment, and the best manufacturers are ready to constantly release its new products. In order not to make serious mistakes when choosing a device, you should know what to look for first of all:

1. Technical characteristics of the device, in particular, the maximum heating temperature, especially if the purchase is made in an online store or on special portals (Aliexpress, etc.).
2. The material of the case, on which its strength directly depends. Despite the complete similarity of the product design, each manufacturer manufactures the device according to its own technology, and it is better that it be based on metal, not plastic.
3. for internal processing. The container should be lined with medical steel. Otherwise, rust will form on its surface very quickly.
4. The presence of rubberized feet, which provides the device with resistance to sliding on the surface.
5. Maintenance of equipment with the registration certificate of Roszdravnadzor. The document is a confirmation of the fixation of the device in the state register of medical devices and gives the right to use it on the territory of Russia.

It is believed that the fifth point is generally the first criterion that you should pay attention to before making a purchase. It is recommended to choose in advance which company is better to buy a device, it is worth studying user advice, features of its work, positive and negative sides. It is also worth understanding that popular models of glasperlen devices are not always the best.
