You have a Pelton and Crane OCM or OCR and it is not working.

The best solution is to complete rebuild it. 

When we rebuild this sterilizer we also install automatic shut off, and venting mechanism. 

What this means is that when the timer hits zero, the power to
the autoclave will be shut off and it will vent automatically. 

Because your unit is manual (YOU turn it off, and YOU vent it), most chambers get warped and develop a pin hole in them after years of usage.  

The P&C OCM or OCR hasn't been in production since 1986.  

What this means is that most likely your chamber has a pin hole in it which causes the steam to escape and thus not hold pressure or temperature.

Here is what we can do for you: We can pick it up, rebuild it and ship back to you.

This is what we do to the autocalve when we rebuild it:

   Replace all three heaters
    Replace filter
    Install New Gasket
    Rewire the entire sterilizer with temperature sensitive wire
    Upgrade to a larger reservoir (if yours doesn't have one already)
    Install New Temperature and Pressure Gauges
    Calibrate for more accurate temperature & pressure reading
    Install 'Over Pressure' Safety Valve
    Upgrade to our Automatic Shut Off System
    Upgrade to our Automatic Venting System
    Upgrade and strengthen the chamber.

Click below the OCM or OCR for the cost (plus freight round trip)

OCM (3 screws on each side)

OCR (4 screws on each side)

However, if this is the only sterilizer you have, we can ship you an already remanufactured OCM or OCR, and take yours back as an exchange. Your cost is the same.
