Why order the VBE204 from LabSupplies.com
Key Features
- Top-mounted HEPA/blower filtration: aluminum-frame H14 HEPA with 100 mm pleat, rated 99.9997% at 0.3 microns, sealed by upstream/downstream polyurethane gaskets.
- Face-velocity airflow alarm: 40–2000 fpm range with under 1-second response, LED and audible Piezo, plus green (healthy), yellow (turbulence), and red (system failure) indicators.
- Optically clear construction: 3/8" jeweled acrylic chamber pairs with a phenolic base for superior chemical resistance and low-vibration balance stabilization.
- Front viewing sash: multiple air foils improve containment and deflect drafts during weighing.
- Adjustable draft protection: front draft control protects fine-powder and sensitive sample readings.
- Configurable ports: electrical cord outlet port plus a side blank plate ready for an optional Bag-In/Bag-Out port.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the interior dimensions of the VBE204 balance enclosure?
The interior work chamber measures 24" × 23" × 21.5" (609 × 584 × 546 mm). Exterior dimensions are 26" × 26.75" × 41" (660 × 679 × 1041 mm), and the unit ships at 250 lbs.
What voltage options are available?
Two voltage versions are offered: the VBE204 runs on 115–120V, and the VBE214 runs on 220–240V. Both share identical construction, dimensions, and filtration — choose the model that matches your site power.
What type of filtration does this enclosure use?
It uses a top-mounted HEPA/blower system with an aluminum-frame H14 HEPA filter, 100 mm pleat, rated 99.9997% at 0.3 microns. Sealed polyurethane gaskets sit upstream and downstream, and filtered air recirculates back into the lab.
Does the enclosure monitor airflow during use?
Yes. A face-velocity alarm covers a 40–2000 fpm range with under 1-second response and combines LED and audible Piezo alerts. Green signals healthy airflow, yellow indicates turbulence, and red flags a system failure.
What is the difference between the VBE204 and VBE214?
Voltage is the only difference. The VBE204 is the 115V model and the VBE214 is the 220V model. Both offer the same 24" width, interior chamber, H14 HEPA filtration, acrylic construction, and phenolic base.
What is the UNSPSC code for the Yamato VBE204?
The Yamato VBE204 is classified under UNSPSC 41103500 (laboratory enclosures and accessories).
Where is the Yamato VBE204 manufactured?
Yamato Scientific lists USA as the country of origin for the VBE204.
Is there a spec sheet or brochure for the Yamato VBE204?
Yes. The Yamato VBE Series Vented Balance Enclosure brochure (697 KB PDF) is linked under Documents & Downloads on this page.
What are the shipping dimensions and weight of the Yamato VBE204?
Yamato's shipping data lists the VBE204 at 58 × 39 × 51 in and 250 lb packed.
