Sealed Pass-Through
Enclosure System

Patented

The Sealed Pass-Through Enclosure System incorporates five conventional systems into one. This versatility offers the customer interchangeability between gloves, viewing windows, bag-outs, plugs, or ball manipulators and permits conversion from one configuration to another without losing enclosure containment, or risking the spread of contamination. We call it "Quick Change Technology."

For example, a glove may be replaced by a penetration plug containing electrical feed-throughs or piping connections, in a matter of minutes, without losing containment or disrupting operations.

The system offers the following additional advantages over other available systems:

• Anchoring of the glove or component is very strong and virtually impossible to dislodge accidentally during use.
• Exchange is simple, rapid, and maintains complete integrity of the sealed space.
• The enclosure ring is available in either stainless steel or aluminum for 'O' ring seal to the enclosure, and in stainless steel for welded installation.
• The enclosure ring is available for installation in shielding walls up to 4 inches (100 mm) thick.
• Push-Through Technology can be used to bag material into a 55- or 85-gallon drum.
