Advanced Vessel Technology

‘Vent-and-reseal’ vessels are the foundation of Milestone’s microwave technology.
Continuously enhanced, this patented (US Patent 5,270,010) technology provides analysts with unsurpassed performance capabilities.

• Highest temperature and pressure
• Highest safety standards
• Easy of use
• Fast air cooling

The ‘dome-shaped’ spring is temporarily flattened in case of overpressure (1), allowing the cap to lift-up (2) slightly and release the pressure. Once the pressure has been released, the cap closes again (3), and the microwave program can continue.

While other devices use membranes or burst disks which render a vessel useless after venting, the Milestone system releases only the excess pressure from the vessels. Therefore, there is no stress in the case of a vessel’s bursting.
