Low cost desiccator cabinet designed for long-term, low-throughput dry storage
Extended Storage™ design is ideal for long-term storage that doesn't require frequent parts access
Optional Smart® module automatically monitors RH in cabinet for faster RH recovery and less N2 waste
Perfect for cleanroom, lab, or stockroom use where recovering low-humidity set-point is not critical
Also suitable for use with silica bead desiccant or simply for clean particle-free storage
Terra’s ValuLine™ ES™ Extended Storage desiccator cabinets combine low cost and strength for long-term dry storage that doesn't require rapid recovery or critical low-humidity set-points.
NOTE: Cabinet design not recommended for applications with frequent parts access, or those requiring fast RH recovery rates.
Built-in digital thermohygrometer displays internal temperature and RH to help monitor conditions.
Optional Accessories:
Smart® humidity control module automatically monitors and displays relative humidity in the cabinet for faster set-points and improved efficiency with reduced consumption of nitrogen gas. Requires Automatic RB™ (relief/bleed) valve, sold separately.
Alternatively, a flowmeter and Automatic RB™ (relief/bleed) valve allow for manual control of nitrogen gas.
Other optional accessories sold separately: data logger, silica desiccant, removable shelves, stand, casters.
Cabinet Design:
Innovative wall fusing technology creates a rigid, durable structure for improved weight capacity and resistance to high-frequency vibrations.
Slotted chambers help circulate and mix dry nitrogen throughout the cabinet to minimize moisture "blind spots" and further dilute moisture present inside the cabinet.
Built-in shelf rack systems allow for high-capacity, organized storage (removable shelves sold separately).
Includes port for installing Terra flowmeter (order separately).
Transparent walls help quickly find items anywhere inside the cabinet.
ESD-Safe Design:
Static-dissipative PVC (SD-PVC) design features bonded dissipative layers that resist abrasion; retains surface resistivity of 106 - 108 ohms/square indefinitely (unlike spray-on coatings that can wear off after a few years). SD-PVC also eliminates static-cling to help maintain clean surfaces.
SD-PVC also has increased chemical resistance to withstand frequent wipe-downs with alcohol and other strong cleaning agents.
Grounding tape connects shelf racks and doors to terminal block to safely-discharge surface charges and eliminate the risk of electrostatic discharge.
Door Design:
Reinforced doors include exterior stainless steel plating plus stiffening bars on the inside of the doors to increase rigidity for a longer service life.
Cleanroom compliant design includes corrosion resistant, non-particle shedding hardware:
Self-closing 316L stainless steel hinges with superior corrosion resistance help both hold open and tightly close doors.
Swell latches open/close with the flick of a finger to save wrist strain. An expanding rubber bushing firmly seals doors to prevent dust and moisture from leaking in.
Closed-cell foam gasket around each reinforced door provides a superior protective seal to prevent air, vapor, moisture, water, and dust infiltration; resists weathering, UV oxidation, mildew and fungus.

Desiccators: Features and Design overviewTerra's nitrogen-purged desiccator cabinets meet dry storage requirements as low as 1% relative humidity. Standardization simplifies component upgrade, retrofit and replacement. Terra's Smart controllers allow setpoint control and even multiplexed purging for the most critical humidity requirements.
Designed for purging with nitrogen to achieve low-humidity conditions, each model includes a perforated rear plenum wall that strengthens the cabinet and allowsValuLine™ Desiccators from Terra UniversalDesigned for purging with nitrogen to achieve low-humidity conditions, each model includes a perforated rear plenum wall that strengthens the cabinet and allows gas to enter all chambers uniformly. Doors feature reinforcement ribs to ensure a better seal against closed-cell gasketing. The expansion latches eliminate internal scraping caused by rotary-style latches; the closing mechanism is positioned outside the chamber to keep stored materials clean.

Dry-box desiccators such as these keep samples stable and fresh. The ValuLine™ ES desiccators in acrylic can be configured for nitrogen gas purge, or hold desiccant to keep internal moisture low.
Features and Benefits
Stainless Steel-Reinforced Doors
Stainless steel reinforcing bar provides added rigidity and durability to plastic doors.
Thermohygrometer
Displays internal temperature and relative humidity (one included on each cabinet).
Closed-Cell Door Gasket on Reinforced Door
Closed-cell door gasket maintains internal positive pressure when purged with dry gas, and stainless steel reinforcements extend door life
Durable Embedded Static-Dissipative Layers
Terra's SDPVC features bonded dissipative layers that resist abrasion. SDPVC desiccators retain their surface resistivity of 106 - 108 ohms/square indefinitely (unlike spray-on coatings that can wear off after a few years), protecting your materials against ESD damage. Further, the control of static charges eliminates particle attractions, helping maintain clean surfaces.
Smart Module with LED Display
In minutes, upgrade your ValuLine desiccator to an automatic nitrogen control system with Terra's economical Smart module.
Terra's nitrogen desiccator cabinets clearly surpass any manufacturer's design quality, contamination control, and availability. Easily upgrade to an automatic nitrogen control system with Terra's Smart module.
Self-Closing 316L Stainless Steel Hinges
Self-closing 316L stainless steel hinges use springs to both hold open and help tightly close doors. Stainless steel drastically extends service life and minimizes corrosion, flaking, and contamination that commonly occur with ordinary chrome-plated hinges.
Cleanroom Compliant Swell Latches
Swell latches open/close with the flick of a finger to save wrist strain. An expanding rubber bushing firmly seals doors to prevent dust and moisture from leaking in, plus eliminates corrosion, flaking, and particle contamination from chrome-plated latches.
