Four Station Side by Side Single Sided Operation Inert Gas Glove Box Workstation

Product Overview

This continuous four-station inert gas glove box workstation is engineered for high-throughput, multi-operator research and pilot-scale industrial processing requiring ultra-pure atmospheric isolation. Configured with an expansive 4.88-meter single-sided operating workspace, the system integrates a high-capacity closed-loop gas purification column that consistently maintains both moisture and oxygen concentrations below 1 ppm. Designed to streamline complex assembly lines and chemical syntheses, this equipment provides a continuous, highly stable inert environment under standard temperature and pressure using nitrogen, argon, or helium.

Built to support demanding advanced manufacturing sectors, the platform is widely deployed across lithium-ion and solid-state battery fabrication, organometallic chemistry, perovskite solar cell development, organic electronics, and specialized metallurgy. The side-by-side station arrangement allows four technicians to collaborate seamlessly along an interconnected workflow—from raw precursor handling and chemical mixing to precision pressing, cell assembly, and analytical testing—without exposing sensitive substrates to ambient atmosphere.

Constructed from heavy-duty 3mm-thick 304 acid-resistant stainless steel with dual independent large and small antechambers on both ends, this unit ensures exceptional structural stability and low leak rates (≤ 0.05 vol%/h). Supported by an industrial-grade Edwards vacuum pumping system, Siemens PLC automation, and German-engineered instrumentation, this workstation delivers dependable hermetic sealing, dynamic chamber pressure regulation, and continuous operational safety in the most rigorous production environments.

Key Features

• High-Capacity Closed-Loop Gas Purification: Incorporates a single purification column loaded with 9 kg of copper catalyst and 9 kg of molecular sieve to achieve oxygen removal of 100 L and moisture removal of 4 kg, reliably sustaining sub-1 ppm purity levels.
• Continuous Four-Station Linear Workspace: The 4880 mm interior chamber provides an unobstructed workspace with four ergonomic, inclined viewing stations, allowing simultaneous, single-sided collaborative processing without atmospheric cross-contamination.
• Dual-Sided Multi-Chamber Entry Architecture: Features two large automated antechambers (Ø360 mm × 600 mm) with vertical lift doors and two small manual rapid-entry antechambers (Ø150 mm × 300 mm) positioned on both flanks to maximize sample transfer throughput.
• Intelligent Siemens PLC Automation: Automated control via a Siemens Smart 700 touchscreen platform provides comprehensive self-diagnostics, power-loss auto-recovery, password security, automated purging sequences, and recipe-driven regeneration routines.
• Precision Closed-Loop Pressure Balancing: A high-accuracy German pressure sensor coupled with dual directional foot pedal controls regulates internal chamber pressure within ±10 mbar, backed by automated overpressure and underpressure safety shutoffs at ±12 mbar.
• High-Durability Analytical Instrumentation: Equipped with an air-resilient zirconia oxygen analyzer (0–1000 ppm) and a regenerable, washable P₂O₅ platinum-electrode moisture analyzer (0–500 ppm) designed specifically to withstand harsh battery electrolytes and organic vapors.
• Integrated Organic Solvent Vapor Trap: An oversized 304 stainless steel solvent trap (Ø238 mm × 407 mm) pre-filters volatile hydrocarbons and organic electrolytes from the circulation loop, safeguarding the catalytic purification bed from chemical poisoning.
• Industrial Pumping and High-Flow Circulation: Driven by a Taiwan DARGANG 145 m³/h circulation blower and a UK Edwards RV12 rotary vane vacuum pump with gas ballast and oil mist filtration, ensuring rapid chamber evacuations and consistent laminar gas flow.
• Certified Hermetic Enclosure and Hardware: Built with 3 mm acid-resistant 304 stainless steel, 8 mm laminated tempered safety glass, machined aluminum glove ports with dual O-rings, and heavy-duty 0.4 mm North Safety butyl gloves for maximum chemical impermeability.

Why Choose This Product

• Tier-One International Component Integration: Built exclusively with proven global industrial hardware—including Edwards vacuum pumps, Siemens PLC controls, BASF/Bayer catalyst media, Halstrup pressure transducers, and Bürkert valves—ensuring uncompromising reliability and long mean time between failures (MTBF).
• High-Throughput Multi-Station Efficiency: The 4.88-meter continuous single-sided architecture eliminates workflow bottlenecks by enabling four operators to work concurrently with dedicated lighting, glove ports, and dual-ended pass-through antechambers.
• Electrolyte-Resilient, Cleanable Sensor Architecture: Unlike conventional disposable fuel-cell sensors, this unit utilizes an air-stable zirconia oxygen detector and a washable P₂O₅ moisture sensor that can be chemically regenerated after solvent contamination, dramatically cutting consumable lifecycle costs.
• Precision Pressure Balancing & Safety Interlocks: Features closed-loop PID automated pressure management and a dual-pedal foot switch that allows hands-free chamber atmosphere balancing within ±10 mbar, backed by automated ±12 mbar overpressure shutoff protection.
• Industrial Structural Robustness: Built with heavy-gauge 3 mm 304 stainless steel, 8 mm laminated safety glass, and an in-line solvent absorption column to withstand acidic, corrosive, and solvent-rich pilot manufacturing environments.
