Features & Benefits

General Purpose Drying Cabinets

General purpose Safekeeper cabinets are available in bench/desktop and floor-standing models. Selected models are available with two, three or four independent drying chambers, each with its own filtration and control system.

Most models are designed and configured for mobile use in uncontrolled environments.

Special Purpose Drying Cabinets

The Drugkeeper series is designed for safe storage of confiscated hazardous chemicals and illegal drugs.
The Safeswab horizontal airflow cabinet is useful for protecting biological evidence collected on swabs from external contaminants, and personnel in the working environment.
The Transporter is an “on-site” fabric chamber developed for transporting evidence from the field to the lab.

Filter I.D window: When specified, the front cover has a window that reveals the installed filter part number and installation date for convenience and to encourage timely filter replacement.
Filter door key: Filter access keys prevent unauthorised removal or accidental exposure to dirty filters.
Control panel: Electronic controls and displays include switches for the blower and lights, an electronic hour counter and low airflow alarm, all located on a convenient front surface panel.
Hour counter: Assists in tracking evidence drying time.
Internal manual speed controller: Authorised personnel may set the centrifugal fan motor speed as desired.
Airflow alarm: A continuous air velocity monitoring system alerts the operator upon unacceptable values.
Dynamic filtration chamber: The dynamic filter chamber prevents any possible leakage of contaminated air by pressurising the fan plenum (positive air) and depressurising the filter compartment (negative air).
Outside sidewall hose: Connects to external water supply, located to avoid tripping hazard.
Hanging rod: All general purpose and down flow models have a removable stainless steel hanging rod with anti-slide cover.
Drain: Central 1.5″ bottom drain with anti-siphon trap and strainer to capture contaminants in wastewater stream.
Push-Pull shelving: All general-purpose models have three perforated polypropylene Push-Pull shelves with drain channel that can be installed and removed with one hand and may be stored within or outside the cabinet; two included with Down flow unit.
Colour: The cabinet is white with blue doors.
Drain valve: Manual open and close drain valve.
Electrostatic pre-filter: All pre-filters (doors and main) are changed quickly without tools and are of a standard size for simple stocking and ordering. Optional HEPA filter available.
Doors: Blue metal framed tempered glass doors with key lock, tamper proof seal, provide improved security, stability, and ease of cleaning.
Built-in containment compartment: Adheres to occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) standards 29 CFR 1910.1030 regarding blood borne pathogens.

Ductless Technology – The Eco-friendly Choice

Advanced carbon filtration technology offers a safe, high-performance alternative to ducted cabinets for a broad range of law enforcement applications.

Environmental benefits. Air Science Safekeeper forensic evidence drying cabinets isolate and trap biological and chemical vapours to prevent operator exposure, prevent cross contamination, and eliminate ecological impact through release into the environment.
Versatile. Each filtration system is designed for specific forensic applications using our exclusive Multiplex filtration technology.
Easy to install. Safekeeper drying cabinets are self-contained; venting to the outside is optional. Down flow and standard units are portable and may be moved from one location to another without filter changes and with minimal downtime. Set-up, operation, and filter maintenance are straight forward.
Energy efficient. Because filtered air is returned to the room, no demands are required of the facility HVAC capacity for make-up air.
Cost effective. Facility duct work, HVAC and construction costs are eliminated.
Safe to use. Cabinet airflow and face velocity protect users from incidental exposures to fumes, odours or blood borne pathogens.
Self-testing. (select models) Electronic airflow monitoring ensures continuous safety. An electronic gas sensor monitors carbon filter performance.
