Vacuum sample transfer system

Lemer Pax vacuum sample transfer systems transfer radioactive sources between different hot cells or glove boxes. They are designed for industry, the civilian nuclear sector and research.

100 % remote and secure

The vacuum system transfers samples placed in shuttles between bench tops, glove boxes or hot cells. The operator controls the transfer from the operator console. The operator inserts the shuttle into one of the sending/ receiving stations. It is suctioned into the vacuum transfer circuit using a differential pressure generator.

A switching system directs the shuttle to the receiving station chosen by the operator. The network is two way. Shuttles can be sent from or received at each station.

Vacuum sample transfer system: How does it work? 

The vacuum system transfers samples placed in shuttles between bench tops, glove boxes or hot cells. The operator controls the transfer from the operator console. The operator inserts the shuttle into one of the sending/receiving stations . It is suctioned into the vacuum transfer circuit using a differential pressure generator. A switching system directs the shuttle to the receiving station chosen by the operator. The
network is two-way. Shuttles can be sent from or received at each station. An electrical and control cabinet provides the man-machine dialogue interface and the servo-controls for the various network components. The vacuum and filtration pump creates the vacuum network required to suck the shuttle towards its target.
