I recently obtained a CR2032 coin cell pressing machine manufactured by the GELON lib group for the purpose of building Li-O2 batteries within an MBRAUN glovebox. However, I encountered an issue during the vacuum application in the antechamber, where a significant amount of oil was spilled. To address this problem, I attempted partial vacuum cycles followed by Ar filling within the antechamber. Unfortunately, this approach led to excessive water levels once the machine was inside the glovebox. If anyone has faced a similar challenge, I would greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences and any potential solutions you discovered. Thank you for your assistance.
I think you may vacuum-seal the machine in a plastic bag, similar to sealing food, and then insert it into the glovebox. There might be a trace of air introduced during this process, but you can do purging or regeneration later. Another way is filling the oil for that machine inside the glove box.
