A controller atmosphere chamber comprising vertical layers in towers (14.1, 14.2) fixed to its base, a full-length manually operated door (20) opposite a mechanically operated door (24) allowing transfer of items through a transfer mechanism (16) which consists of a platform (36) swiveling about a center (a), is new. A controller atmosphere chamber comprising vertical layers in towers (14.1, 14.2) fixed to its base, a full-length manually operated door (20) opposite a mechanically operated door (24) allowing transfer of items through a transfer mechanism (16) which consists of a platform (36) swiveling about a center (a), is new. The items to be treated in the controlled atmosphere chamber (12) are placed in vertical layers in towers (14.1,14.2) that are fixed to the base of the chamber. The centerlines of the towers (14) pass through center (A) so that their openings are correctly oriented to receive the items (1) sitting on the platform (36). The platform (36) is held by a block (40), mounted around a vertical shaft so that it can be moved vertically to service the various levels of towers (14). Items to be placed into the chamber, or those that have been removed from it, sit on platform (34) outside the chamber. |
