The DROGON Monobloc series is the most robust and durable walk-in configuration within the DOT range, designed for intensive industrial applications involving high temperatures, high humidity, significant thermal loads and extreme climatic cycles.
Each chamber is entirely custom-engineered and manufactured according to the required test conditions, specimen dimensions, thermal loads, available installation space and the customer’s technical specifications.
The AISI 304L stainless-steel inner structure is manufactured using continuous TIG welding. This construction method ensures mechanical continuity, excellent structural tightness and dimensional stability, even during continuous operation under severe conditions. The chamber’s structural tightness is also verified through a dedicated pressure test.
DROGON Monobloc are designed to provide:
- fully customised design and configuration;
- customisable dimensions, internal volume, climatic performance, access points and technical equipment;
- outstanding structural strength and durability;
- continuity and tightness of all welded surfaces;
- structural tightness verified through pressure testing;
- dimensional stability during extreme thermal cycles;
- reliable performance under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions;
- continuous operation in demanding industrial environments;
- integration with test benches, dynamic systems and dedicated equipment.
It is the ideal solution for new buildings, laboratories and production facilities with access points large enough to allow the complete chamber to be transported, introduced and positioned as a single unit.
The monobloc construction makes it possible to create particularly robust and high-performance custom climatic chambers, configured according to the required temperature and humidity ranges, rates of temperature change, thermal loads, applicable standards and the specific requirements of each project.
