Sampling cabinets: standard and high-containment solutions

Safety cabinets
With modular protection and containment
Available in various materials
For multifunction valves

Material 1.4301 / 304 Polypropylene – PP Other materials

Designed to provide protection and containment, BIAR sampling cabinets, enclosures and boxes make the sampling of hazardous, toxic or corrosive industrial liquids safer. Available in 1.4301 stainless steel (AISI 304) or polypropylene (PP), these units are installed beneath multifunction sampling valves to protect the operator and contain any splashes, leaks or emissions. From standard safety cabinets to the high-containment REVO system, which allows both sampling and bottle capping to be carried out with the cabinet door closed, each solution can be configured to meet the stringent safety requirements of chemical processes and significantly reduce operator exposure to toxic vapours and gases.
