A global laboratory testing provider required an altitude simulation system to evaluate the integrity of medical packaging at reduced-pressure conditions while meeting ASTM D6653 requirements. Their needs included a high-capacity chamber, automated control of vacuum profiles, and a dry pumping package suitable for continuous testing.
To meet these requirements, we engineered a fully automated system built around a 36″ Cube Industrial Vacuum Chamber, a VC-2500 Vacuum Controller, and a 7.1 CFM dry vacuum pump. The system supports programmable evacuation, vent, and hold sequences, enabling repeatable altitude simulation cycles for medical component package testing. Locking swivel casters provide mobility, while an aluminum door and Buna O-ring seal ensure dependable vacuum performance.
| Chamber Size | 36″ W x 36″ H x 36″ D |
| Vacuum Rating | 1 x 10-3 Torr |
| Seal | Buna O-ring |
| Chamber Material | Stainless Steel |
| Lid/Door Material | Aluminum |
| Lid/Door Configuration | H-Hinge |
| Approximate Volume | 46,656 in³ |
| Pumping System | UN-200V dry oil-free vacuum pump, Model (7.1 CFM) |
| Controller | VC-2500 Vacuum Controller |
The VC-2500 Vacuum Controller is a cost-effective vacuum system automation solution for applications such as vacuum degassing, altitude simulation and product testing. Featuring software that enables unique test recipes for your application requirements, the VC-2500 provides flexible control of single pump vacuum systems. The VC-2500 integrates the vacuum transducer with the vacuum and vent valves for automated operation.
