Why order the VBE600 from LabSupplies.com
60" Wide Vented Balance Enclosure Overview
The 60" Wide Vented Balance Enclosure (models VBE600 and VBE610) from Yamato Scientific is a self-contained balance enclosure engineered for safe weighing of fine powders, chemicals, and biological products. LabSupplies.com, an authorized dealer, supplies this 60-inch-wide unit with top-mounted HEPA/blower filtration that recirculates chamber air through an H14 filter back into the lab.
Optically clear 3/8" jeweled acrylic forms the chamber, paired with a phenolic base that resists chemicals, stabilizes analytical balances, and dampens vibration. Its black base finish makes powder spills easy to spot. Curved ABS airfoils guide gentle, unobstructed flow through rear and side baffles to the H14 HEPA filter, rated 99.9997% at 0.3 microns.
Key Features
- HEPA/blower filtration: top-mounted aluminum-frame H14 HEPA filter, 100 mm pleat, rated 99.9997% at 0.3 microns, with upstream and downstream polyurethane gaskets.
- Construction: optically clear 3/8" jeweled acrylic chamber on a phenolic base for chemical resistance and analytical-balance stabilization.
- Face-velocity alarm: 40–2000 fpm range, sub-1-second response, LED plus audible Piezo, with green (healthy), yellow (turbulence), and red (system failure) indicators.
- Viewing sash and airfoils: front sash with multiple air foils and curved ABS baffles for higher containment and draft deflection.
- Ports: electrical cord outlet port plus a side blank plate that accepts an optional Bag-In/Bag-Out port.
- Voltage options: VBE600 (115–120V) or VBE610 (220–240V), identical in every other specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the VBE600 and VBE610?
The only difference is electrical supply. VBE600 runs on 115–120V, while VBE610 runs on 220–240V. Both share identical 60-inch construction, filtration, dimensions, and containment features.
What are the interior and exterior dimensions?
Interior dimensions are 59.25" × 23" × 21.5" (1505 × 584 × 546 mm). Exterior dimensions are 60.5" × 26.75" × 41" (1537 × 679 × 1041 mm).
What voltage does the enclosure require?
VBE600 requires 115–120V, and VBE610 requires 220–240V. Select the model that matches your facility's electrical service.
What materials are used in construction?
The chamber is optically clear 3/8" jeweled acrylic plastic. The base is phenolic, chosen for chemical resistance, vibration damping, and analytical-balance stabilization.
How does the filtration system work?
A top-mounted HEPA/blower draws chamber air through an aluminum-frame H14 HEPA filter rated 99.9997% at 0.3 microns, then recirculates filtered air back into the lab.
Does the unit include airflow monitoring?
Yes. A face-velocity alarm covers 40–2000 fpm with sub-1-second response, LED and audible Piezo signaling, and green, yellow, and red status indicators.
