Matachana MAT LD90R
Matachana · Model MAT LD90R
The MAT LD90R washer thermodisinfector, with external dimensions of 900 mm x 850 mm x 605 mm, has a washing capacity up to 8 DIN 1/1 baskets in 4 levels. Wide range of complementary elements adapted to the needs of each installation. LCD display. Integrated side cabinet for chemical products storage. Door locking system during wash cycles and automatic unlock at the end of the cycle. Hot air forced drying system module is incorporated. Thermal disinfection and 54O measurement. Integrated water softener and steam condenser. 2 peristaltic dosing pumps and 2 water connections. Integrated main switch.
Key tips
- ·A failed biological indicator means the entire load is not sterile - no exceptions, regardless of how the cycle printout looks.
- ·Door gasket wear is the most common real cause of a failed vacuum/pressure test - check it before deeper diagnostics.
- ·Water quality directly affects steam-cycle validity - don't ignore scale or mineral buildup.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Door gasket / seal leak
HighSymptoms: Pressure loss, long cycle, steam leak.
Root cause: Aged rubber gasket.
Steam generator / heater fault
HighSymptoms: No steam, low temp, cycle abort.
Root cause: Failed heating element or scale buildup.
Vacuum pump failure
MediumSymptoms: Poor air removal, non-condensable gas fault.
Root cause: Worn vanes/seals.
Chamber temperature sensor drift
MediumSymptoms: Temp out of tolerance, failed Bowie-Dick.
Root cause: Sensor aging.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily biological and chemical indicator test loads
- ·Door gasket / seal inspection
- ·Steam trap and drain strainer cleaning
- ·Annual full PM and pressure-vessel certification
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Door gasket / seal leak
- Confirm the presentation - typically pressure loss, long cycle, steam leak - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: aged rubber gasket.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the door gasket / seal per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
