Description
Vacuum Atmospheres VAC Single Width Glove Box w/ Conveyor System For Parts
This Vacuum Atmospheres Company (VAC) single-width inert-atmosphere glove box features an integrated pass-through conveyor system and is being offered for parts or repair. The enclosure has been modified from its original configuration to accommodate a narrow conveyor belt passing through openings on both sides of the chamber, allowing materials to be transported in and out of the controlled atmosphere without fully breaking the enclosure. The control panel includes a Granville-Phillips Series 6008 vacuum gauge, an Omega digital temperature controller, and an SI Technologies digital timer module. The unit is mounted on heavy-duty casters for mobility.

Applications
Glove boxes manufactured by Vacuum Atmospheres Company are used in laboratory, semiconductor, photovoltaic, battery research, and specialty materials processing environments where operations must be performed under a controlled inert atmosphere — typically nitrogen or argon — to exclude oxygen, moisture, or other reactive gases. VAC glove boxes are commonly deployed in university research labs, national laboratories, and industrial R&D facilities for tasks such as handling air-sensitive compounds, thin-film deposition sample prep, lithium battery assembly, and semiconductor device fabrication. This unit's integrated conveyor pass-through design was used to transport materials into and out of the controlled-atmosphere chamber without fully exposing the interior to ambient air. As-is units of this type are commonly acquired for parts salvage (instruments, fittings, viewport panels, antechamber components) or as a rebuild/restoration platform.
VAC Single Width Glove Box, powers on, left chamber heats. Custom conveyor opening, both glove ports present (gloves worn, may need replacement). Includes all controls, fittings. Paint wear, interior residue present. As is.
