WALK-IN CLIMATIC CHAMBER – DROGON MONOBLOCK SERIES
Hermetic architecture for high-severity industrial climatic testing
The DROGON Monoblock series represents the continuously TIG-welded walk-in configuration within the DOT range, engineered for intensive industrial applications involving high temperatures, elevated humidity levels and extreme thermal cycling.
The fully welded structure ensures mechanical continuity, high structural tightness (verified through pressure testing) and dimensional stability even under continuous and severe operating conditions.
The monoblock configuration is particularly suitable for installations in facilities with large access openings or new constructions where the complete unit can be introduced as a single module.
Structural Design
Materials
Internal structure: SUS 304 stainless steel, technical finish, continuous TIG welding
External structure: galvanized steel painted RAL 7042
Assembly mounted on a structural steel base frame for single-unit transportation
Double-Layer Thermal Insulation
High-density mineral wool (inner layer)
High-strength rigid polyurethane foam (outer layer)
The structure is designed to absorb significant thermal expansions without permanent deformation, ensuring long-term stability even during severe combined cycles.
