Description

There is a total of eight (8) desiccator boxes in this system ? the boxes are arranged in fouth rows and two columns (4x2 cofiguration), bringing the summarized dimensions to 36-inch-wide, 18-inch-deep by 48 inch high. Each single desiccator box has the inside dimensions of 18-inch Wide, 18-inch Deep, and 12-inch High. All three desiccators are fully assembled and are ready to go. Each comes with one fully removable perforated shelf, a digital hygrometer, two gas ports that are 1/4 inch NPT and plugged, and four door clamps. These are air tight boxes which means that as soon as you close the door and engage the clamps, they become hermetically sealed.

We construct our desiccator cabinets the same way we construct any of our products which means that these desiccator boxes are robustly designed and quality manufactured to consistently perform and meet your needs. These two dry boxes will enable you to store any component that requires dry storage such as anhydrous and hygroscopic biological, chemical compound, or electronic assemblies. These can be used for long term and short-term storage of laboratory samples as well. Desiccator cabinets will reduce humidity/oxygen within the box. Desiccators are air tight containers envisioned to store samples shielded from dust and contamination and/or in a low humidity and in some cases a low oxygen environment.

Please note that this desiccator is not intended to be pressurized, if you required a vacuum chamber or a pressure chamber click on the link. Also note that acrylic material is hygroscopic meaning that it will absorb and transport humidity. Say you are operating in a relatively high humidity environment (80%) and say that you bring the humidity inside this desiccator cabinet to below 20%. Due to the nature of acrylic, the humidity will travel through the walls and slowly increase the humidity until it gets to a steady state. If no further action is taken, the humidity inside the desiccator cabinet will equalize with the outside within a couple of hours. In order to keep the humidity at a certain level, you will have to monitor it or control it as we mentioned before, acrylic is hygroscopic.

Vacuum Chamber and Pump Systems
Our Vacuum Chamber and pump systems are fully setup and ready to go. What you get is a vacuum chamber, a vacuum pump, and connection hardware. We carry acrylic or metallic vacuum chambers and a whole range of vacuum pumps from Rotary Vane, Piston, or Venturi. What type of vacuum chamber and pump system you want depends on your project requirement, budget, and other specifications.
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps are utilized in environments where low noise, no oil mist emissions, low maintenance, and no product cross-contamination are required such as hospitals or labs.
Our Work: Altitude Testing in a Vacuum Chamber
It is not a secret that you can simulate a certain altitude in a vacuum chamber. The good thing about Acrylic Vacuum Chambers is not only that you can simulate an altitude of up to 250,000 feet, you can also fully view your test specimen during your testing operation.
Related Articles: Visual Inspection Quality Testing of Heat Sealed Packages
Visual inspection is an attractive option because it does not require the purchase of any additional equipment. There are several arguments against Visual Inspection of heat seals; the argument against visual inspection is that visual inspection is subjective, unreliable, operator dependent, or not a valid method of inspection. However, if you have the correct training, procedures, and documentation in place, visual inspection can become a powerful tool in your quest for better packaging.
