Products
Sicherheitswägekabine SBE-G
A safety weighing enclosure that provides a controlled inward-directed horizontal airflow, HEPA H14 filtration, vibration-damped underframe with three-point support, and ergonomic features for high-precision weighing down to low milligram limits.
Custom Built Containments (bespoke enclosures)
Tailor-made stainless steel and acrylic enclosures for processes including dispensing, milling, mixing, drying and analytical workflows; designs include multiple access openings, glove ports, docking interfaces and bespoke internal layouts.
Standardised containments (gloveboxes, isolators, instrument enclosures, climate-controlled units)
A range of standardised enclosures including closed glove boxes, isolators for high OEB applications, instrument enclosures for analytical equipment and climate-controlled units for temperature/humidity sensitive materials.
Instrument enclosures for analytical equipment
Containments designed to house and isolate analytical instruments (e.g., particle size analyzers, automated balances, titrators) with dedicated process exhaust routing and particle capture systems.
SBE-G
Sicherheitswägekabinen for safe weighing and handling of active substances and hazardous materials with high levels of containment.
Custom Built Containments
Individually manufactured containment systems, safety workbenches, and workstations tailored to specific customer requirements and workflows.
