B series / Vacuum transfer antechamber
Glove box with vacuum antechamber
An inert-gas working chamber with a separate vacuum-capable enclosure for transferring materials.
01 / Use & operation
Uses & operating limits
Choose B when materials need to enter or leave a nitrogen/argon workspace through a separate transition chamber instead of opening the main access door.
The main chamber is for inert-gas purging. The connected antechamber is the vacuum-capable part. If both chambers must be evacuated, request a separately engineered and quoted design.
- Main working chamber
- High-transparency acrylic; N₂ / Ar purging
- Main-chamber vacuum
- Not rated in the standard B configuration
- Transition chamber
- Vacuum-capable; approximately 300 × 300 × 300 mm external dimensions as standard
- Antechamber vacuum limit
- Up to approximately −0.1 MPa gauge as the applicable short-duration limit; subject to approved configuration and operating procedure
- Standard range
- B01–B05, five main-chamber sizes
02 / Models & dimensions
Models & dimensions
The sizes below describe the main chamber. The complete installed footprint also includes the connected antechamber, valves, fittings and space to open the doors.
Request a drawing to confirm bench space, minimum clear internal dimensions and material loading clearance. The standard antechamber’s usable internal space and opening are confirmed with the configuration.
| Model | Nominal W × D × H | Standard arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| B01 | 60 × 50 × 50 cm | Vacuum transition chamber |
| B02 | 70 × 50 × 50 cm | Vacuum transition chamber |
| B03 | 80 × 60 × 60 cm | Vacuum transition chamber |
| B04 | 90 × 60 × 60 cm | Vacuum transition chamber |
| B05 | 100 × 60 × 60 cm | Vacuum transition chamber |

03 / Included & optional
Standard equipment & options
Standard supply
- Acrylic main chamber in the selected B-series size
- Connected vacuum-capable transition chamber
- Nitrogen/argon inlet and outlet valves
- Replaceable operating gloves
- Vacuum gauge and valves for the vacuum-capable configuration
- Internal power strip and one basic sealed cable feedthrough
External vacuum pump and connecting pipework are not included.
Optional configuration
Options and performance requirements are reviewed for your selected chamber and quoted separately. Only equipment listed in the confirmed order is included.
Working space, doors & gloves
Specify the minimum clear internal space, equipment loading dimensions and door clearance. Nominal chamber dimensions do not account for every panel, fitting or access constraint. Send a drawing or sketch if fit is critical.
Alternative glove materials, sleeves, glove-port locations and spare gloves require confirmation of mounting and sealing compatibility.
Gas, vacuum & liquid connections
The standard vacuum connection uses a G1/4 threaded port, shut-off valve and push-to-connect fitting selected for compatible 8 mm or 10 mm outer-diameter tubing.
A dedicated KF25 connection, extra ports or alternative positions can be quoted. Confirm your pump connection first. Pump sourcing and external connecting pipework require separate quotation, including any additional freight.
Internal power & cable access
Confirm plug type, supply voltage and the total electrical load. A power strip supplies equipment inside the chamber; instrument signal leads, sensor cables and liquid lines can require separate sealed interfaces.
Additional cable feedthroughs and application-specific interfaces are quoted to suit the selected equipment.
Temperature & humidity control
Temperature and humidity modules are supplied as part of a complete AcrylLAB chamber system, with the agreed integration installed and tested before shipment.
Send the temperature range, humidity or moisture target and units, chamber size, internal heat or moisture sources, gas supply and door-opening frequency. Achievable performance and any acceptance conditions are confirmed for the selected configuration.
Sensors, measurement & purification
Specify the parameter, range, unit and required accuracy. Relative humidity (% RH), trace moisture (ppm H₂O) and oxygen concentration are different requirements.
A basic monitor does not remove moisture or oxygen. Trace-level analyzers, drying equipment and active gas purification or recirculation must be separately specified and quoted.
Pressure duty & construction
The standard B-series main chamber is not vacuum-rated. The approximately −0.1 MPa gauge figure applies only as the short-duration limit of the applicable approved antechamber design.
Specify the required chamber, pressure and holding time. Custom reinforced main-chamber designs and their operating limits must be separately reviewed and confirmed before production.
04 / Ordering & delivery
Ordering & delivery
Choose a standard main-chamber size above, or request a quotation for a different footprint, antechamber, port arrangement or operating duty.
- Identify whether vacuum is required in the antechamber, main chamber or both.
- Confirm loading size, installed footprint, pump connection and gas supply.
- Provide quantity, delivery address/postal code and any purchasing-document requirements.
Final dimensions, operating limits, accessories, production schedule and freight are confirmed for the order. An external pump and pipework are included only if expressly listed.
