Top Section
| Provides a sealed container around the inner lid |
| The outer lid hermetically seals by means of a clampband |
| Lid is shown with a standard arrangement of Filling Tube, Discharge Tube & Vent. Other arrangements are available on request |
| Outer Lid is domed for additional strength and to aid drainage during cleaning |
| Designed to provide a storage area & protection for flexible hose and lid fittings |

| Inner lid secured with clampband |
| All welds are Dye Penetrant tested to ensure that they are 100% crack free |
| Base of the body has a special dimple to aid maximum drainage |
Base
| Robust to take the rigours of everyday use. |
| The Base is curled inwards to give a large, stable standing area and to prevent floor marking. |
| Two base styles are available. One style allows the vessels to be stacked the other design prevents stacking. |
| The base is designed to be free draining when the vessel is washed in the inverted position |
| Base ring acts as a crumple zone to prevent damage to the Main Body if the container is dropped |
Cross section
The Top Rim of the container is frequently handled by operators. It is vital that this area is designed to be as clean as possible.
SteriCans have a solid top rim. The underside to the rim is filled with weld and is then polished smooth. The result is a very strong and easily cleaned top rim.
Stericans do not have an unhygienic rolled rim as it is a potential source of biological and chemical cross contamination
