A test chamber to suit all your requirements.

• Easy access: bulkhead passage on both sides and 180° door opening, can be operated with one hand.
• Controlled mobility: easy to move thanks to integrated castors, precise repositioning via stabilizing jacks.
• Continuous observation: view your products in the illuminated test cabinet via a heated window, or via a camera connected to Spirale (optional).
• Customized instrumentation: various connectors available on the User interface panel (analog measurements, logic outputs, etc.).
• Optimized control: improve control accuracy with the mobile PT100 sensor, which can be positioned as close as possible to the product.
• Tracking and tracing: Spirale Vision’s on-board system enables each test to be controlled, recorded and archived, even remotely.
• Enhanced safety: adjustable safety thermostat + thermal fuse, with the option of setting temperature ranges directly via Spirale.

Modular technical devices.
More than 200 options combining standardized accessories and measuring equipment.

Secure your trials and protect your teams:

• Alarms on door opening, temperature thresholds or system fault
• Physical door locking (customer process option)
• Thermal safety via independent PT100 sensor (MINI/MAXI enclosure)
• Variable fan speed to suit your products
• Air dryer to prevent internal condensation (dry air or nitrogen)
• 10/16 A safety socket for your power connections
• Emergency stop to interface with your test benches
• Active water flow monitoring (depending on power: 1.5 to 37 hp)
• Thermal fuses integrated into critical circuits

Deploy customized tests:

• Temperature extensions to +200°C or +250°C
• An on-board camera for automated visual test monitoring
• A relative humidity module for active measurement or control
• Acquisition cards (PT100, thermocouple) or external control units
• I/O modules (6 relay outputs, 6 logic inputs)
• A barcode reader, for sample tracking
• A remote PC panel for remote control
• Specific modes: probe averaging, conditional triggers, extended START & STOP functions
• Standard and advanced communication protocols: IEEE 488, MODBUS, 0/10 V control, etc.

Design the structure of your loudspeaker:

• Customized portholes on side walls, door, ceiling or even window, with variable diameters (Ø80 to Ø200 mm).
• Customized windows, connectors and sensors
• Test cabinet slots for connections before product insertion
• Reinforced shelves for heavy loads and a hard-wearing sole
• Reversal of door opening direction
• The addition of mechanical or electrical mounting inserts
• 316 L stainless steel test cabinet (chemical resistance) and nickel-plated evaporator
• An air extractor to renew internal flows
• A speaker that can be customized right down to the finish color

Consolidate your enclosure environment:

• Generator or demineralized water supply for wet testing
• Filter cartridges for clean water
• Additional chiller for system cooling
• Remote air condenser can be integrated
• Audible warning and 3-color LED for visual alert
• Enhanced soundproofing for optimum acoustic comfort
• Boiler filtration to limit clogging
• Frost control system to protect your sensitive products

Spirale lets you control all your equipment. Standard features include :

• extra-large (15″) touchscreen,
• 3 levels of use :
  • Production: simple, clear and functional
  • Standard: a versatile level
  • Laboratory: focused on advanced testing
• a tracking alarm in Shock or VRT mode to ensure reproducibility of your tests.
• programmable pre-treatment/post-treatment on Spirale Vision to temperature condition or even dry your samples at the beginning and/or end of the cycle.
• an automatic defrost function: Spirale Vision optimizes the cycle so that defrosting can be carried out correctly without disturbing the temperature of the samples under test.

Standard mode for easy program creation

Time-optimized or “guaranteed step time” mode (Wait for mode) to guarantee a programmed step time regardless of the number of samples on board.

Spirale’s Energy Saving mode means that only the test cabinet containing the samples is in operation. You save at least 40% on your electricity consumption during your test cycles.
