PRODUCT INFORMATION
SETUP
Boekel’s line of Stainless Steel & Glass
Desiccators are designed as premium quality, air
tight, moisture proof cabinets. The desiccators
provide excellent storage environments for
materials and parts requiring storage at low
humidity. The glass and stainless steel
combination provides a sturdy stackable cabinet
which allows the user to see what is being stored
without opening the door and exposing the
material to room humidity. The cabinet door is
fully gasketed and comes with a very secure
latching mechanism.
Each Boekel desiccator comes with two shelves
and a single tray for holding desiccant. The
model 1
340 has two 9 3/4” x 8” stainless steel
shelves, the model 1344 has two 19” x 13 1/2”
stainless steel shelves. Shelf separation on the
model 1344 is a minimum of 3/4”. All models
come with a manual relief valve installed on the
upper right side of the unit.
Optional additional shelving and replacement
door gaskets are available for all models.
CAUTION
Boekel’s Desiccators are not intended for the
purpose of maintaining a vacuum or pressure.
