Glovebox Control and Containment Systems

Delkia glovebox control and containment systems are integrated engineering solutions that allow hazardous or radioactive materials to be handled safely inside sealed enclosures while maintaining strict containment and operational control. They are commonly used in nuclear facilities where direct human contact with materials would present unacceptable radiological, contamination, or safety risks.

The containment system consists of the glovebox structure itself, including sealed panels, glove ports, viewing windows, transfer ports, and ventilation interfaces, all designed to prevent the release of radioactive or toxic substances. Delkia ensures the glovebox maintains the required containment integrity, pressure regime, and interface compatibility with surrounding plant systems.

The control system manages how the glovebox operates and interacts with operators and other equipment. Delkia designs and integrates PLC-based control systems, safety interlocks, alarms, and HMI interfaces that control doors, transfer ports, manipulators, and environmental conditions such as pressure and airflow. These controls prevent unsafe states, enforce correct operating sequences, and support compliance with nuclear safety requirements.

Together, Delkia's glovebox control and containment systems provide a safe, reliable, and compliant working environment that enables precise material handling while minimising operator dose and reducing the risk of contamination or containment failure.
