Glove Box Solutions for Every Industry
These economical vacuum glove boxes are designed for degassing operations, chemical mixing, biological tests, and other processes requiring sustained negative pressure.
Clean, Sturdy, Versatile
Each chamber is fabricated out of solvent-welded .5" transparent material that combines full visibility with light weight, cleanliness and durability. Dual glove ports allow full access to work in progress. Select acrylic for general applications, or polycarbonate for resistance to a wide range of chemicals and thermal stress.
Equipped with a vacuum safety valve on a standard basis, these chambers are designed for operations with sustained negative pressures down to 5" WG (Water Gauge). All hardware, including latches and hinges, is chrome-plated, and solvent welding ensures a strong, seamless, air-tight structure that won't leak or outgas.
Improved Access Doors Reduce Wear, Enhance Performance
Dual side access doors open inward to allow easy parts transfer from inside the chamber. Doors feature stainless steel reinforcement frames that increase the structural rigidity of the door by a factor of five. A built-in LiftLatch securely seals the door without applying lateral torque that could damage hinges.
All doors include unique, one-piece "e"-profile elastomer gaskets that will not compress or migrate over time. Their superb sealing capability saves nitrogen, eliminates maintenance, and extends the service life of access doorstypically the only component of a glove box that shows wear.
Versatile Configurations Support Many Negative Pressure Applications These glove boxes are designed for applications requiring low-level negative pressures, continuous high-volume ventilation, or sustained vacuum at one atmosphere. See following pages for more information on each configuration outlined below.
By attaching a vacuum pump and vacuum controller, you can dry or degas components at up to 5" WG of negative pressure in either the main chamber or negative pressure air lock. In this application, dual vacuum shut-off valves allow connection to the pump and vacuum bleeding. A safety pressure valve ensures that internal pressure does not exceed 5"WG.
For degassing at one atmosphere (29.9" Hg), select the vacuum antechamber. The pass-through design of this antechamber lets you introduce parts measuring up to 10" x 10" into the glove box for packaging or other processing following vacuum cycling.
Two configurations are available for continuous ventilation of the glove box during soldering, chemical mixing, or other operations that generate noxious fumes. A remote filter/blower module can be connected to the glove box via a 6" flange. Fumes are drawn through the conduit for remote exhausting or vapor removal. Make-up air enters the chamber either through iris glove ports or a HEPA-filtered intake port on top of the box. As an alternative to remote ventilation, a filter/fan unit can be installed directly on top of the glove box. Its ventilation fan draws fumes through a charcoal filter for purification or into an exhaust conduit for remote exhausting. Make-up air enters the chamber through iris glove ports.
Two port covers are availbale separately to allow the 10" round arm ports to be sealed. These covers are recommended during processes with negative pressure in order to relieve strain on gloves and glove clamps (gloves must be ordered separately).
How to Order:
Select the glove box of the desired material (either plexiglass or polycarbonate). Models are available with or without the swing-up front access panel. Note: Terra recommends selection of a stainless steel work surface to prevent scratching in all plastic chambers.
See "Corresponding Accessories" ordering chart to select a vacuum antechamber or air lock (antechamber and air lock prices include standard right-side installation). See below for more information on antechambers and air locks.
These air locks mount on the right side of the glove box to allow easy pass-through of parts into and out of the chamber. They feature a swing-down door on the front (outside) and a second door that is easy to open by a gloved hand from inside the glove box. One-piece nonadhesive gasket enhances sealing performance and extends service life. Gas ports are provided to allow purging of the air lock with nitrogen. Right mounting is standard.
Low-Vacuum
Control Module
Includes a vacuum gauge with set point control, on/off switches for pump and vacuum solenoid.

solenoid valve and fittings necessary for connection of vacuum pump
to Vacuum Control Module at left.
Order Low-Vacuum Vacuum Controller separately.
Changeable
Sleeve and Glove Combination These
accordion sleeves fit into the ports of Terra's atmospheric
chambers for safe, easy handling of materials. They
can be used with a variety of gloves, allowing you
to change glove size or type without changing the
sleeve itself. Supplied with one pair of nitrile industrial gloves (select desired size). Clamps
included.
This
application, which supports sustained negative pressure to 5" WG
in either the main chamber or the air lock, is ideal for degassing
or applications with fuming chemistries.
The Series
200 Glove Box includes dual shutoff valves (for vacuum line and
backfill), vacuum gauge and pressure safety switch. Port caps, available separately, allow the operator to seal the
box during negative pressure processing. After bleeding the vacuum,
the operator can remove these ports to allow access to the chamber.

Vacuum
Antechamber Made of .5"-thick
acrylic, this antechamber safely supports vacuum to 29.9"Hg, making
it ideal for degassing, vacuum encapsulation, and vacuum testing.
It mounts on the right side of the Series 200 Negative Pressure
Glove Box for easy pass-through operation. Includes a vacuum gauge
and dual shutoff valves. Price includes installation.
Glove Box with
Remote Ventilation
In this configuration,
noxious fumes generated inside the Series 200 Glove Box are ducted
through a 6"-diameter conduit to a remote filter/blower module.
A variety
of filters are available to help you meet OSHA and other environmental
requirements for exhaust purification. The activated charcoal filter
listed below removes most organic chemical vapors to allow safe
indoor release. Specialized filters are available for other fumes.
HEPA or ULPA particle filters can be used to remove particles as
small as 0.12µm.
For particle-sensitive
applications, an ULPA-filtered Air Inlet Module is mounted on top
of the Series 200 chamber. In this application, an operator uses
gloves to access materials inside the chamber.
If
particles are not a concern, specify iris ports. These ports, made
of multi-layered, self-closing silicone panels, allow make-up air
to enter the chamber. Note: in this configuration, port covers cannot
be used while the ventilation unit is turned on.
The 14"W x 13.5"D
x 32.25"H polypropylene module houses a 740 CFM variable-speed blower
that ventilates fumes inside the Series 200 Glove Box. Several filters
are available for removal of organic chemical vapors or particles
(order separately). All models are 110VAC/60Hz (add "-220" to part
number for 220VAC/50Hz).
Air
Inlet Module
Features
a 3"-diameter inlet port. An acrylic enclosure houses an ULPA
filter, rated 99.999% efficient at removing particles 0.12
microns in diameter.
Exhaust
Flange
This
6"-diameter flange allows connection of conduit to a remote
filter/blower module or other ventilation system. Specify
other flange diameters.
Iris
Ports
These
self-closing silicone ports allow convenient access
to glove box without the need for special gloves.
They also allow make-up air to enter the chamber
in configurations without an Air Inlet Module.
Glove Box with
On-Board Ventilation Module This
configuration includes a Filter/Blower Module that ventilates fumes
inside the Series 200 Glove Box.
This
module, available in several materials, allows exhaust fumes to
be ducted to an in-house exhaust system or purified by an activated
charcoal filter for safe release. The versatile filter housing also
accommodates a final particle filter (HEPA or ULPA).
Make-up air
enters the chamber through iris ports made of multi-layered, self-closing
silicone panels. Note: In this configuration, port caps cannot
be used while the ventilation unit is turned on.
The stainless
steel housing encloses a 740 CFM variable-speed impeller that
draws fumes upwards. One-piece gasket ensures leak-tight performance.
Price includes installation on specified Series 200 chamber.
