The Yamato SN-510C is the 200-240V configuration of Yamato's 47 L top-loading steam sterilizer/autoclave (SN510 model) in the non-drying SN/SQ series. It is physically identical to the 100-120V SN-500C (same deep 47 L chamber, same PID microcomputer control, same safety suite) differing only in its 200-240V AC electrical build for higher-voltage mains.
This is a non-drying autoclave (marketed "without dryer"), saturated-steam sterilization with post-cycle cooling, no forced-air drying stage. Its 300 mm dia. × 665 mm deep chamber suits tall vessels and larger batch loads.
Note: The catalog name lists "200-220V"; the Yamato SN/SQ spec table rates the SN510 at 200-240V AC. The broader brochure figure is used here as authoritative.

Cycle Types / Operation Courses
Six microcomputer-selectable operation courses (per the series spec table): instrument sterilization, liquid sterilization, sterilization with keep-warm hold, agar-melt with keep-warm hold, agar-melt with heat retention, and manual operation. Setpoints are entered digitally via UP/DOWN keys under microcomputer PID control.
Application Profile
- Higher-throughput instrument and glassware sterilization at 105-135°C. The 47 L deep chamber accepts three supplied racks for larger batch loads.
- Liquid and media sterilization. Dedicated liquid course plus agar-melt (65-100°C) and heat-retention (45-60°C) courses for media prep.
- 200-240V facilities requiring a large-capacity tall-chamber autoclave, the higher-voltage sibling to the SN-500C, drawing just 10-12A.
Design Architecture
The SN510 uses a manual up/down lid mechanism with attached safety interlock and a small-size pressure vessel design. Temperature is governed by microcomputer PID control with digital UP/DOWN setpoint entry and digital display. The 665 mm deep, 300 mm bore chamber delivers 47 L in a 1068 mm-tall cabinet.
The standard safety-device suite covers sensor-failure detection, SSR short-circuit detection, disconnected-heater detection, water-level detection (liquid-expansion method), drain-bottle configuration-error warning, lid-lock error detection, memory-error detection, and a 0.255 MPa pressure safety valve. An exhaust valve provides full-open and slow-exhaust modes; an axial fan motor drives forced cooling. Option ports accept a sample sensor (1/4), recorder (1/4), and pressure-indicator connection. The 200-240V build draws 10-12A, roughly half the current of the 100-120V SN-500C at the same 950W×2 heater rating.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the chamber capacity of the SN-510C? 47 L, with an effective chamber of 300 mm diameter × 665 mm depth. A deep chamber that suits tall vessels and larger batch loads.
How does the SN-510C differ from the SN-500C? It is physically identical (same 47 L chamber, PID control, and safety suite) differing only in its 200-240V AC electrical build for higher-voltage mains (the SN-500C is 100-120V).
Does it have a drying stage? No. It is a non-drying autoclave (marketed "without dryer"), saturated-steam sterilization with post-cycle cooling and no forced-air drying stage.
What temperatures can it run? 105-135°C for sterilization, plus agar-melting (65-100°C), heat retention (45-60°C), and preheating (45-80°C), across six microcomputer-selectable courses.
What power does it require? 200-240V AC, 50/60Hz, drawing just 10-12A, roughly half the current of the 100-120V SN-500C at the same 950W×2 heater rating.
Ordering & Configuration
Each SN-510C ships with 3 racks, an OMS-70 pail (dia 262 × depth 204 mm), a steam cup, drain bottle, drain tray, filter, and instruction manual. Optional sample-temperature sensing is available.
As a capital instrument, the SN-510C is quote-based. Contact Legacy Lab Supply for a formal quote. Confirm at quote: mains voltage and plug type (this is the 200-240V build; the 100-120V sister is SN-500C), intended load profile, rack/basket needs, optional sample sensor, facility bench space and overhead clearance for the 1068 mm cabinet, and lead time.
