Econoclave® Model: EC1.2MX2.4M

The Econoclave ® 1.2MX2.4M is a great very popular autoclave for small-sized composite part production or for use by laboratories or universities.  It provides a useable diameter of 1219 mm (48”) and a working length of 2438 mm (96”). You can choose from standard models which provide maximum operating temperatures of 450°F (232°C) and 800°F (427 °C) and maximum operating pressures of 10 bar and 14 bar.   

Note: If you require higher operating conditions, ASC can configure a non-standard model.

• The working diameter is1219 mm (48”) with a working length of 2438 mm (96”).
• Aerospace-grade autoclave, designed for composite bonding and curing.
• Fully-integrated and 100% factory tested prior to shipping.  A skid-mounted control system, power system, vacuum system, cooling tank (optional), and other auxiliaries are plumbed, wired, and tested at ASC’s factory.
• Pressure vessel designed to stringent ASME Division I, Section VIII requirements.
• Manual operated quick-opening door using ASC’s all-forged, 3-piece ring technology and multi-redundant door locking safety system provides mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical interlock.
• CPC (Composite Processing Control) system, the most popular controls package in the world for composite curing.
• Econoclave ® eco-friendly design results in a smaller vessel and 20% energy and nitrogen savings versus a conventional autoclave.
• High-capacity circulation fan for high airspeeds, improved temperature uniformity, and excellent heat-transfer to part and tooling loads.
• Front and rear H-Slot ® flow adjustment technology for superior flow and temperature uniformity. 
• A high-capacity modular heater designed with sheathed Inconel heating elements for long life.
• Internal stainless-steel cooling exchanger for excellent cooling performance.
• Control valve package for pressure, cooling, and vacuum control.  Featuring stainless-steel control valves, proportional actuation, and high reliability.
• High-capacity vacuum source lines with PC-controlled Vacuum/Vent valves for automated selection, isolation, and leak-testing.  
  • Each line includes a manual isolation valve and resin filter traps with a manual drain.
  • Stainless-steel tubing
• Vacuum probe lines for vacuum bag monitoring
  • Stainless-steel tubing
  • Vacuum transducer for accurate bag vacuum recording and alarming.
• Proprietary sheet metal retaining requiring no fasteners, screws, or rivets to create future FOD issues.
