Vacuum airlocks are used exclusively on installations under controlled atmosphere (nitrogen, argon, helium), purified glove boxes, anaerobic enclosures or climatic glove boxes. For correct and safe use, the opening of a door should only be authorized after checking that the second door is closed. Their operation is based on vacuuming (thanks to a vacuum pump) and alternatively filling the chamber with gas in order to evacuate the air from the airlock.

The user has the choice of carrying out a variable number of successive empty/fill cycles in manual or programmable automatic mode to best eliminate all traces of atmospheric pollutants.
