Dv1 type

Small and medium-sized vertical display drawersDv1 vertical drawers display objects of modest thickness (drawings, prints, documents, stamps, etc.). Each individual drawer moves outward on tracks and can then be pivoted to the left or right at full extension, making it easier to view both sides or make comparisons between adjacent displays.

External:H = total height up to 1,300L = front width 40P = total depth up to 1,300

Internal:H1 = net height up to 1,200L1 = net width 25P1 = net depth up to 1,200

AirtightnessAER: ac/d (air changes per day) = from 0.05 a 0.10

Dv2 type

Large vertical drawersDv2 vertical drawers display objects of modest thickness (drawings, prints, documents, stamps, etc.). The greater load-bearing capacity of the tracks compared with the Dv1 type makes it possible to offer larger drawers with the same smooth sliding and security performance. Each individual drawer moves outward on tracks and can then be pivoted to the left or right at full extension, making it easier to view both sides or make comparisons between adjacent displays.

External:H = total height up to 2,100L = front width 60-80-100-120P = total depth up to 1,300

Internal:H1 = net height up to 2,000L1 = net width 40-60-80-100P1 = net depth up to 1,200

AirtightnessAER: ac/d (air changes per day) = from 0.05 a 0.10

Fittings and Accessories

Lighting equipmentHorizontal drawers use LED lighting equipment. The lights themselves are set at the front of the drawer, or at the front and back together, in special compartments separated from the display area by a glass partition. Opening the drawer activates the light.

Lighting compartment at the front.

Lighting compartments at both front and back.

Climate controlAll horizontal drawers are highly airtight thanks to the presence of gaskets in both the opening sections and the structural elements. Passive relative humidity stabilization can be achieved by placing sheets of silica gel in a double bottom of the display deck, or sachets of silica gel in a special compartment at the rear of the drawer. Active stabilizing systems that connect external units to the drawer by flexible tubing can also be employed. This type of system requires sufficient space to position the units and house the various tubes and wires.

Inclined decksHorizontal drawers (Dh1 and Dh2 types) can be fitted with fixed or adjustable inclined display decks, providing an optimal viewing angle for the exhibited materials.
