Market Position/ History

De Lama S.p.A., established in 1949 by Engineer Franco De Lama in Pavia, Italy, has been a leader in sterilization technology for more than 70 years. The company’s early innovations, such as the launch of the first vertical compact saturated steam autoclave in 1952 and the first hot air oven sterilizer in 1955, laid the foundation for its dominance in the field. Over time, De Lama expanded its product offerings with notable innovations like the ethylene oxide sterilizer in 1968 and superheated water autoclaves in 1978. Their focus on producing high-quality, custom-made sterilization solutions has allowed them to serve various industries, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and food, all while maintaining a solid global presence.

De Lama's dedication to innovation remained strong, leading to the development of advanced technologies such as the world’s first combined washing and sterilization unit in 2005 and autoclaves integrated with isolators in 2008. The company also pioneered hydrogen peroxide sterilization systems and introduced the magnetic-driven door (Magnetodoor), further cementing its position as an industry leader. As demand for its products increased, De Lama expanded its operations by acquiring additional land in 2021 to support its future growth plans. Currently, the company is preparing for a significant industrial expansion, with a focus on environmentally friendly, carbon-free production, while continuing to lead the way in sterilization technology advancements.

DLOV/W Series

Saturated steam sterilizer and washing machine combined in one single unit

De Lama's DLOV-W configuration integrates the functions of a saturated steam sterilizer with those of a high-efficiency industrial washing machine in a single unit. This combination offers the benefits of a DLOV model saturated steam sterilization autoclave while also providing powerful cleaning capabilities for components, machine parts, and loading accessories (such as trays for freeze-drying in bulk). The system is particularly effective in removing dust, residual particles, and contaminants, ensuring thorough cleaning before sterilization.

This equipment allows to:

wash, sterilize and dry with one single process tanks, mechanical parts or other materialsreduce number and volumes of the equipment installed in controlled environment

reduce validation and maintenance costs

simplify staff operational procedures

load and unload from the same side of the equipment all those products that are already in a controlled contamination environment

Application sectors

Pharmaceutical Industry

Medical Devices

Nutraceutical Industry

Food Industry
