Model shown: Series 500 Full-View Glove Box |
This 304 stainless steel containment chamber features dual-side
static-dissipative PVC viewing windows. It is used for
repackaging toxic chemical solids, mounted on a 3" (76 mm)-diameter
mandrel, for subsequent disposal.
Side
doors slide open to allow insertion of the support mandrel,
which contains one or two chemical containers. Doors
then slide shut to seal around the mandrel. A constant
negative pressure inside the isolation chamber, generated
by a remote ventilation system, draws fumes into an
exhaust line in the chamber ceiling. This exhaust system
protects operators as they repackage the chemical solids
in disposal containers. Pressure safety valves ensure
that negative pressure remains below 2" WG, protecting
chamber and glove seals.
Disposal
containers are removed from the chamber through a trap
door on the chamber floor, and the side doors are then
reopened to allow removal of the mandrel.
