So-Low | Explosion-Proof Manual/Cycle Defrost Refrigerators

So-Low | Explosion-Proof Laboratory Refrigerators for Flammable Chemical Storage | 1–10 °C Temperature Control

At Alto Med Supply, we offer the So-Low Explosion-Proof Refrigerator Series, a line of specialized cold storage units designed for laboratories and industrial environments where flammable or volatile materials are handled.

These refrigerators are engineered to help facilities maintain safe storage conditions in hazardous locations and are designed to meet or exceed NFPA and OSHA guidelines for Class I, Division 1 and Class I, Division 2 environments.

By incorporating spark-free internal and external components, these units help reduce the risk of igniting hazardous vapors while providing reliable refrigeration for sensitive materials.

Each refrigerator in the series is equipped with a precise microprocessor temperature controller that allows users to maintain stable storage temperatures between 1°C and 10°C.

The durable painted steel exterior and high-density urethane foam insulation support consistent thermal performance while standing up to demanding laboratory and industrial use.

This design helps ensure dependable temperature management for chemicals, solvents, and other volatile reagents that require controlled refrigeration.

Safety and security are key features across the entire series.

Locking doors help protect valuable inventory and restrict unauthorized access, while the specialized electrical configuration requires 115V hardwiring instead of a standard plug to further minimize the possibility of sparking.

These design elements help laboratories maintain compliance while protecting both personnel and stored materials.

The So-Low Explosion-Proof Refrigerator Series is available in a variety of capacities to meet different storage needs and facility layouts.

Options range from compact undercounter units, such as the 5 cubic foot MV4-6UCXR, to larger upright models like the 30 cubic foot DHH4-30SDRX for high-volume storage.

With cycle or manual defrost systems designed to reduce temperature fluctuations, these refrigerators provide a dependable solution for safely storing flammable chemicals and temperature-sensitive laboratory materials.
