Powder handling glovebox for safe handling of potent powders and charging reactors in a sealed manner

Overall dimensions: Customized
Working pressure: -0.7kPa to 0.7kPa
Optional features: Oxygen concentration monitoring
Nitrogen purging

A containment glovebox is designed for the safe handling of potent or hazardous powders and charging of reactors under fully sealed conditions. The powder handling glovebox is generally integrated with vacuum conveying systems at the material discharging inlet, enabling fully enclosed powder transfer for sensitive or hazardous processes. The unit consists of a roller conveyor, unpacking chamber, collection chamber, dust extraction system, observation window, and anti-static gloves. The glovebox is available in SS304 or SS316L stainless steel, ensuring long service life and reliable performance in demanding environments requiring corrosion resistance.

Features

Complete containment and operator safety
The glovebox is equipped with an unpacking and collection chamber, ensuring full containment of toxic or corrosive powders. Anti-static gloves enable safe, sealed handling without operator exposure. Optional ATEX-certified components and oxygen concentration monitoring are available for flammable dust applications.
High-grade construction and compatibility
The main structure is made of high-quality SS316L stainless steel, ideal for strong acid or alkali environments. The interface system uses quick-clamp and flange connections, compatible with vacuum conveying systems.
Negative pressure dust extraction
Integrated dust collection system with 0.3 μm HEPA filtration keeps dust escape below 0.1%, maintaining cleanroom-grade containment.
Seamless line integration
The roller conveyor enables automatic bag transfer into the glovebox for unpacking, followed by vacuum conveying directly to the reactor. This reduces manual handling steps. Optional CIP cleaning system completes automated cleaning within 30 minutes while reducing water consumption by 40%.
Versatile industry adaptability
Suitable for a wide range of industries from pharmaceutical and chemical production to new energy materials processing, wherever safe, enclosed powder handling is required.

Applications

Discharging of corrosive or toxic powders (e.g., pesticides), providing operator protection
Handling and transfer of lightweight materials
Safe discharging of flammable materials or use in explosion-proof environments such as alumina processing
Reactor charging operations in pharmaceutical, chemical, and specialty material production

Typical Applications

Lithium cobalt oxide
Imidacloprid
Silver powder
