  SECADOR™ 3.0
                                                         

SECADORDesiccator Cabinets

The superior dehumidification performance of the Auto-Desiccator model makes it a natural choice for more perishable and expensive chemicals that require constant low humidity. Totally automatic, continual desiccation with silica beads, arid regeneration every 20 minutes, keeps the RH in the cabinet at a constant low level. No long regeneration lag between cycles - minimal RH change from opening the door. Two fans guarantee continuous air flow either within the cabinet, or continuous exhaust of humid air. (Add "V" to part number for 220v)

Features:
• Patented Dehumidifying Module - Automatic Desiccant Regeneration
• Superior himidy Reduction - safe storage
• Can be stacked three high - space saver
• Patented sealed construction - airtight, dust and moisture-free storage
