What Are Tote Boxes Used For?
ESD totes provide safe storage for electronically sensitive components, protecting them from electrostatic discharge. They are a great option for both storing and transporting electronic components or other equipment. Static electricity can result in damaged components and financial losses. By using ESD tote boxes you create a faraday cage effect, that safeguards the contents of the conductive container.
These conductive euro containers can store anything from components, devices, products, tools, and much more.
What Are Anti-Static Storage Boxes Made From?
Conductive euro containers from SSI Schaefer, are some of the most robust ESD-safe tote boxes you can find on the market. They are comprised of a moulded polypropylene material that is tough, long-lasting, and easy to keep clean (everything you need within an EPA).
These ESD totes can be combined with ESD foam or additional dividers to help further reduce the risks of damage.
SSI totes are easy to clean and therefore suitable for cleanroom environments. Similarly, the properties of totes make them resistant to oils, alkalis, grease, moisture, and much more – keeping the items within fully protected.
Considerations For Your ESD Tote Boxes
Lid Type
When storing or transporting sensitive devices, it is important that you enclose the contents of your totes with one of the available lid variations (especially if outside of your EPA). This allows for better protection. If the boxes are not going to be leaving the EPA, a lid may not be necessary. ESD tote boxes from SSI Schaefer come with 2 variations of lid type – hinged or drop-on.
Dimensions Required
It would surprise you how often this is overlooked. You want to be as efficient as possible with the utilisation of space within your anti-static tote box. Being too generous with the leftover space in your totes wastes space in your warehouse or factory.
Dividers
Dividers for the tote boxes are constructed from conductive Corriplast. They have been carefully crafted to ensure they fit inside the majority of the ESD tote box range. These divisions offer the flexibility to create a variation of close-off cells, to suit specific applications. Each slot is 30mm apart and allows for safer loading of multiple items within the tote boxes.
