Stainless Steel Desiccator Cabinets

Clean Air Products' CAP19s Desiccator Storage Cabinets

At Clean Air Products, we supply customers in a wide range of industries with premium CAP19S desiccator storage cabinets. Our desiccator cabinets are available in various styles, including single or multiple doors and vertical or double-door options. With stainless steel construction and industry-leading manufacturing processes, Clean Air Products' desiccator storage cabinets provide reliable performance for demanding cleanroom applications.

Durable Stainless Steel Desiccator Cabinet Construction

Constructed with heavy gauge stainless steel shells with a stainless steel divider between each compartment, our standard desiccator cabinets are far more durable and long-lasting than acrylic cabinets. This robust construction also makes our desiccator cabinets suitable for heavy storage loads.
Each compartment is completely sealed with clear epoxy to form a pressurized storage space. Compartments feature hinged, clear acrylic doors with stainless steel frames and cam-action, over-center latches. Continuous hinges and PVC closed-cell gaskets help maintain pressurization. Optional fixed or adjustable shelves can be installed in each compartment.

Back panels are also constructed of stainless steel and are welded and sealed to the back of the cabinet. Back panels can be modified to allow attachment of other equipment or a second set of doors if needed. Clear acrylic back panels are also available upon request.
All welds are ground and finished, then sealed with clear epoxy sealant to create tightly sealed compartments for reliable pressurization.

Conductive Materials Reduce Contamination & Neutralize Static Charges

The stainless steel shells of our standard desiccator storage cabinets are conductive and will not hold a charge. This reduces or eliminates the buildup of dirt and other contaminants that are common with acrylic cabinets. The stainless steel exterior shields the interior from static charges, creating a Faraday cage-like effect in which the conducting material neutralizes static charges inside the cabinet.
 
When grounded, our stainless steel desiccator cabinets can automatically neutralize a static charge on an operator as soon as they touch the door handle. With a conductive stainless steel exterior and shelves, stored parts and materials are in constant contact with an electrically neutral surface. This protects sensitive parts against static charge and reduces contamination caused by static attraction.

Advantages of Stainless Steel Desiccator Cabinets vs. Plastic Desiccator Cabinets

While acrylic desiccator storage cabinets are a good option for some applications, stainless steel desiccator cabinets offer significant advantages, especially in demanding industries over an extended period. Advantages of stainless steel desiccator storage cabinets over acrylic include:

• Reduced Nitrogen Use: The Rugged stainless steel design maintains door integrity over the years, allowing a better seal compared to acrylic designs.
• Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel is resistant to many chemicals that can erode acrylic over time.
• Superior Longevity: Stainless steel desiccator cabinets significantly outlast acrylic, particularly in applications involving nitrogen. Acrylic desiccator cabinets typically have a lifespan of only 3-4 years when used with nitrogen, making stainless steel a more permanent option.
• Easier to Clean: Stainless steel surfaces are easy to clean, helping maintain a contamination-free environment.
