L-shaped vacuum chambers

L-shaped vacuum chambers

L-shaped vacuum chambers are a complementary alternative to the most common systems. They make it possible to install a glove box in a location that is too cramped where the use of a standard airlock is not possible or easy. The external opening in front allows for an interesting saving of space.

L-shaped vacuum locks are mainly used in installations under controlled atmosphere (nitrogen, argon, helium) and purified glove boxes. Their operation is based on alternatively vacuuming (thanks to a vacuum pump) and filling the chambers 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 any trace of atmospheric pollutant.
