If you're involved in kitting operations, you've probably had to make do with less-than-ideal storage systems for your materials. If you find adequate tote boxes for your application, chances are they must be stacked inside your existing desiccators, where they waste space and are difficult to remove.
The Kiticcator™: A Perfect Marriage of Performance and Practicality
The Kiticcator™ is designed specifically to remedy these problems. It offers all of the advantages that set Terra Universal desiccators apart from any others available today: noncontaminating cabinets, a complete line of standardized accessories, and the most advanced humidity control system available anywhere. These features minimize nitrogen consumption and, more importantly, extend the shelf life of stored components--you can count on the integrity of expensive materials as long as you keep them inside the Kiticcator™, whether for months, years, or decades!
To these features the Kiticcator™ adds dual chrome-plated racks in each compartment that accommodate slide-out tote boxes. This design makes optimal use of every square inch of desiccator storage space and lets you remove the tote box you need without disturbing any others.
Constructed of acrylic or Static-Dissipative PVC, the Kiticcator™ cabinet features easy-open doors and one-piece wall construction to minimize the problem of peeling or sagging gasketing and to ensure a continuous seal. A plenum chamber minimizes backfill; the perforated plenum wall ensures a homogeneous positive pressure and prevents contaminants and moisture from rushing into the rear of the Kiticcator when a door is opened. It also allows easy installation of ionizing nozzles, sensor switches, humidity sensors, and other optional electronics.
Completely Automatic Nitrogen and Humidity Controls Extend Shelf Lives Indefinitely
Not all desiccators are created equal--gas-flow engineering has a lot to do with how long stored materials will remain up to spec. Like all Terra desiccators, the Kiticcator™ employs a unique nitrogen and humidity control system that guarantees the precise conditions you require--and extends the shelf life of your materials indefinitely.
The Kiticcator™ comes with a pipe-tapped inlet for the introduction of purge gas (generally nitrogen) and an outlet for the Automatic RB®(relief/bleed) valve. The Automatic RB® Valve serves three purposes: it guarantees a uniform positive pressure; it makes a desiccator rupture-proof; and it functions as a check valve in case of a negative pressure (which results when a door is quickly opened).
Terra's 304 stainless steel door frames reinforce plastic doors to extend service life and improve sealing. Tests show that these frames increase structural rigidity by a factor of five. A built-in LiftLatch™ seals doors without lateral torque that strains hinges. The non-outgassing "e"-profile gasket is attached without adhesive for cleaner, more stable sealing.
To Order Your Kiticcator:
(See following pages for other Kiticcator models)
1. Select type: one or two chambers per tier.
2. Select height: the ordering table indicates how many chamber doors each model has and tote box capacity. Order boxes separately.
3. Select material: acrylic or Static-Dissipative PVC.
4. Select desired options: including stands and gas controls. Stainless steel doors are recommended for extended service life.
* Tote boxes must be ordered separately. Kiticcator racks accommodate all 3 tote boxes,
so you can mix boxes of several sizes in a single compartment.
** Transparent material helps eliminate static charges and the particles they attract.
