Premium Class Evolution

The extra class for more performance.

Video Placeholder

Double Jacket Technology

A MELAG patent since 2007: The double-walled sterilisation chamber ensures a super fast sterilisation in only 8 - 25 min. with the highest saturated steam quality. This is because this innovation supports the effective evacuation of air from the chamber, the packages as well as the hollow-bodies of instruments.

Video Placeholder

DRYtelligence Drying

The specially developed algorithm automatically adapts the drying process to your load. The intelligent drying ensures optimum drying results and at the same time a reduction of the drying time by up to 80%. The reduction in drying time also means a reduction in operating time and thus savings in energy and costs.

Video Placeholder

Large loading quantities

The load capacity is a powerful 9 kg. This makes the Evolution Series one of the most high-performance autoclaves in its class. To sterilise these large load quantities in the autoclave, new mounts have been developed which ensure optimum use of the chamber volume with up to 8 trays or 4 MELAstore boxes.

Video Placeholder

Intuitive operation

The extralarge Smart-Touch Display enables intuitive operation and thereby helps to avoid errors and to find all important information quickly. But that's not all: The start time preselection, conductivity measurement and media board for quick access to all important components make for even more convenient workflows.

Video Placeholder

Integrated documentation

With ProControl, you can provide proof of error-free instrument sterilisation in a quick, reliable and paperless way. Because user authentication and batch approval is performed directly on the display and log storage via CF card or network. The optional MELAprint 60 is then used to print barcode labels for marking the sterilised instruments.

Sleep mode feature

Sleep mode feature

With the button on the front of the device, the Evolution series is put into sleep mode with just one push and are reactivated just as quickly. The already low power consumption can thus be reduced even further and enables particularly innovative and energy-efficient sterilisation workflows.

We love hygiene. Since 1951.

What makes MELAG, MELAG.

Our 500 employees take care of every detail so that you don't have to. For over 75 years, we have been developing, producing and optimising our solutions for instrument reprocessing far beyond industry standards.

Made in Germany. Made for You. So that you can rely on our products without restriction, we develop, produce and test them in Berlin far beyond industry standards. In this way, we guarantee that the safest and most reliable solutions are used in your practice or clinic.

To achieve this, we only use components of the highest quality that we have audited in an uncompromising manufacturing process. After assembly, each device is subjected to a three-day endurance and stress test including factory testing in Berlin. Deviations or irregularities are documented by our innovative IT system immediately and the devices are subjected to a further full test.

Of course these detailed tests with various different loads take a lot of time and energy, but the high level of satisfaction among customers is our most significant motivation and the basis for our innovative leadership around the world.

The pioneering spirit of our success: With passion, innovative strength and attention to detail, more than 160 excellently educated engineers ensure that complicated things become uncomplicated.

MELAG products should inspire, be fun and, last but not least, advance your infection control. We therefore invested around 30 % of our turnover in the research and development of new, innovative device concepts.

With these pioneering technologies, we have been revolutionising the instrument reprocessing workflow in over 700,000 practices and clinics worldwide for many decades.

Traditional values, forward-looking solutions: As a family business, we understand that trust and continuity are the cornerstones of successful partnerships. It is precisely these values that characterize our daily activities and are reflected in our reliable solutions for instrument reprocessing. The Gebauer family has been running the company since it was founded in 1951, and is now in its third generation - with the brothers Sebastian Gebauer and Dr. Niklas Gebauer now in charge .

Our many years of experience and family ties enable us to respond flexibly to the individual needs of medical and dental practices - just as is the case in many of your family businesses. With us, you won't find anonymous investors in the background, but a dedicated team with a passion for quality.

Thanks to the continuity of our family business across generations, you as a customer benefit from stable partnerships and a deep understanding of the requirements of your practice. We know that you also deliver top performance every day, which is why we do everything we can to support you with innovative products and first-class service.

As a family-run company, we take responsibility for future generations. With our sustainability strategy Mission Possible, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to make your instrument decontamination process even more environmentally conscious.

For the future of our blue planet, the three P's - products, processes and production - are at the heart of everything we do:

  • Products - Sustainability through innovation: Thanks to forward-looking technologies, durable quality and environmentally friendly packaging materials, we offer the cleanest solution - for your budget and the environment!

  • Processes - Save paper, protect the environment: With paperless user documentation
    and digital signatures, we save 7 tonnes of paper, 105 kg of toner ink and 50 kg of plastic waste from toner cartridges per year.

  • Production - Sustainability right from the start: We already rely on resource-saving approaches in research, development and production. In addition to the use of water recooling systems, electric forklifts and LED lighting, we will raise the bar for sustainable production even higher in the future with solar modules on our roofs. We already obtain 100% of our green electricity from renewable sources.

Our commitment in these areas was recognised for the first time in 2022 by the German Institute for Sustainability & Economics with the seal of approval for assured sustainability in accordance with procedural regulation D-22/400879 and following ISO 26000.

For your safety: Everything from one source! Our washer-disinfectors, sealing devices, autoclaves and software solutions turn your dreams of optimized workflows into reality. The perfect interplay of MELAG System Solutions allow you to achieve greater time and
cost-savings in instrument reprocessing.

  • Personal: One central contact to answer all your instrument reprocessing questions

  • Efficiency: Cost optimisation by synchronizing the service of all devices in your decontamination room

  • Process-optimized: Technologies and operating concepts that go hand in hand and adapt optimally to your needs

The premium quick autoclave: The powerful 18 liter autoclave Vacuklav 40 B+ Evolution convinces with highest reliability thanks to its fixed water connection.
