The chamber is 158 inches long (maximum capacity
600 pounds per cycle), 76 inches in width, and 96
inches in height at the door end. The chamber is design
rated for installation up to and including seismic zone IV. It is a horizontal cylinder having at one end a
manually operated, quick opening, left hinged door. |
