VBOX CHEM chemically resistant gloveboxes

Manufactured and designed in Russia VBOX CHEM gloveboxes are designed and manufactured by Vilitek LLC. Сasing and antechamber are made of chemically resistant polymer material. Inspection window (front panel) and access doors are made of special monolithic polycarbonate with double-sided protection against UV radiation, which is characterized by low gas permeability, reliability and long service life. The casing of this series gloveboxes is distinguished by ultra high chemical resistance to acids, alkalies, organic solvents and other corrosive liquids. Depending on the specific application, the glooveboxes can be supplied with gloves made of different materials.

List of VBOX CHEM glovebox options

Code	Description
PC	Glovebox pressure control system provides constant keeping of set pressure inside the box (± 20 mbar). It includes pressure controller with sensor and two solenoid valves. If glovebox is used to protect the product from moisture or oxygen, the system constantly maintains a slight overpressure in the box. If the box is used to work with hazardous substances, for the purpose to protect the operator, the system maintains a low vacuum in the box, which ensures maximum protection for the operator in case of system failure. To work under vacuum, it is necessary to connect the box to vacuum pump or centralized vacuum system. To work under positive pressure, as a rule, the box is to be connected to gas cylinder with valve or gas generator.
VP1	Diaphragm chemical resistant vacuum pump for antechambers up to 10 liters evacuation. Ultimate vacuum 10 mbar.
VP2	Diaphragm chemical resistant vacuum pump for antechambers up to 25 liters evacuation. Ultimate vacuum 10 mbar.
VP3	Double stage oil sealed rotary-vane vacuum pump for antechambers up to 25 liters evacuation. This option is included oil mist filter. Ultimate vacuum 0,05 mbar.
VP4	Double stage oil sealed rotary-vane vacuum pump for antechambers up to 60 liters and main chambers up to 300 liters evacuation. This option is included oil mist filter. Ultimate vacuum 0,002 mbar.
VP5	Double stage oil sealed rotary-vane vacuum pump for antechambers up to 120 liters and main chambers up to 600 liters evacuation. This option is included oil mist filter. Ultimate vacuum 0,002 mbar.
SO	Gas analyzer. When ordering, Customer shall specify the oxygen concentration measuring range. VILITEK gloveboxes are equipped with precision electrochemical gas analyzers with minimum response time to measure oxygen concentration. Another feature of the gas analyzers is a simple replacing and low cost of the measuring element.
SH	Water vapor concentration sensor. It measures partial pressure of water vapor in the working chamber of glovebox.
RH	Molecular sieve water vapor trap. The molecular sieve can be regenerated by heating e.g. in a laboratory furnace.
RO	Process gas deoxygenation system with regenerated absorber. This option includes a heating system with a temperature controller for absorber regeneration and an integrated regeneration gas flowmeter.
HEPA	HEPA-filtered gas circulation system. It is used for items that are sensitive to dust microparticles. HEPA filtration can also be used for gas sterilization in the box, as the filters used in VILITEK gloveboxes also trap microorganisms.
CT1	Optional port for collecting hazardous waste with a diameter of 186 mm with hermetically welded polymer containers.
