Micron-Aire™ Series Desiccators
Low-Humidity, Desiccator Cabinet Storage Systems
Cleanroom Synergy’s Micron-Aire™ series desiccators are ideal for storage of static and moisture sensitive materials such as micro-electronics, electronic assemblies, anhydrous and hygroscopic biological and chemical compounds that require controlled dry storage conditions. When nitrogen purged, these hermetically sealed acrylic desiccator cabinets can maintain relative humidity levels down to 0%. With our advanced systems of relative humidity control storage conditions can be maintained to your specific set point values, automatically and with minimal nitrogen consumption. The standard materials, system configurations and shelving options allow for storage of most any materials that require clean, dry, static-safe conditions, which reduce product defects and increase yields.
Standard Features:
- Rear plenum chamber that minimizes backfill and ensures uniform dry gas distribution to each storage compartment
- Re-enforced “hat” section stiffens and eliminates door flex, providing a positive gasket seal along the full length of the door
- Precision machined and triple chromed 6061 aluminum alloy lift latches open and close without putting a strain on the cabinet doors while providing optimal gasket compression
- Stainless steel wrap-around hinges ensures uniform pressure against the door gasket material
- Chrome plated racks allow 1″ increment adjustments of optional storage shelves and trays
- State-of-the-art design and CNC machined parts ensure optimal fit and finish, producing exceptional hermetically sealed nitrogen storage cabinets
- Available in transparent static dissipative PVC (approx. 10e7 ohms/square) for storage of static sensitive materials
- All fastening hardware is of 18-8 grade stainless steel
- Door latch & catch, stainless steel hinges and racks are interconnected to a multiple lug grounding terminal for added ESD protection (standard on static dissipative PVC models, optional on acrylic models)
- Pre- tapped inlets/outlets for connection of optional gas purge devices & controllers and Auto-Adjust™ RB (relief/bleed) Valve
- Conforms to DOD Handbook 263, MIL SPEC 1686 and 1772 when fitted with the proper optional accessories
- Standard material offerings:
- Clear acrylic desiccator cabinets
- Amber acrylic desiccator cabinets
- Static Dissipative PVC Desiccator cabinets
Optional Features:
- Stainless steel shelves and trays organize and maximize storage capacity
- Grounded stainless steel shields protect the plastic from permanent damage and provides additional ESD protection of stored materials (highly recommended with static dissipative PVC desiccators)
- Ion Power™ Unit produces both positive and negative ions that neutralize charges that could damage static sensitive materials/devices that are stored within the desiccator cabinet
- Electro-polished stainless steel racks for adjustment of shelf and tray in 1″ increments
- Auto-Adjust RB™ Valve ensures desiccator cabinets maintain a safe and stable internal pressure
- Low profile adjustable stainless steel shelf supports allow desiccator chambers to store heavier loads
- Stands (painted and stainless steel) allow larger desiccators to be raised for easier chamber access and cabinet mobility when provided with optional caster set
- Gas Purge™ Control System that provides a constant low-flow purge to ensure desiccator pressurization and an activated high-flow purge when a storage chamber is accessed
- Gas Monitor™ Control System that constantly displays the desiccators current R/H level and activates the Gas Purge™ Controller as needed to maintain the low level R/H set-point
- Sonic Humidifier™ that provides a stream of high humidity gas. Works in conjunction with the Gas Purge™ and Gas Monitor™ control systems to maintain the specified R/H level
