Description

1. Custom Shapes

Protect electronics, optics, electro-optics and various sealed enclosures from the deleterious effects of moisture. These custom desiccators are produced to precise envelopes that match the available space in the equipment to be protected, thereby maximizing the size of the desiccant charge.

Desiccant housing may be injection molded plastic, machined aluminum, vacuum formed plastic, metal stamped aluminum and porous plastics. Filter materials are produced from sintered bronze, porous plastics and blotter paper.

2. Desiccators with Controlled Breather Valves (Breathing Desiccators)

Protect sealed enclosures from over pressurization or vacuum due to air and land transport and diurnal temperature cycling. Breather valves are panel mounted to the enclosure and are provided with attached replaceable desiccant cartridge to remove moisture from the air passing through the valve into the enclosure. Breathing desiccators may be used with AGM's mounting flanges for ease of installation and cartridge replacement.
