Industrial Applications for Cleanroom Pass-Throughs

Pass-through boxes and other cleanroom equipment help prevent contamination and enable manufacturers to comply with industry quality standards. Wall-mounted pass-thrus are used by medical and pharmaceutical industries, food processing, air and spacecraft, computers, and consumer electronics. Pass-thrus all have similar design standards and features and are manufactured in three levels, including:

• Basic stainless steel pass-through chambers for most manufacturing and laboratory process applications
• Fully welded body design  for aseptic manufacturing, compound pharmacies, and chemo drug pharmacies
• Bio-design wall mounted pass-thrus for terminal sterilization processing, nanotechnology, and production facilities with strict isolation procedures

How to Choose the Right Cleanroom Pass-Through Door for Your Application

When choosing a pass-thru for your cleanroom, consider the following factors to help you select the best pass-through chamber for your application:

• How the pass-through chamber will be mounted to the cleanroom
• Size of wall spaces and any obstructions that will affect door swings
• Type of material that will be transferred through the cabinet
• Method of material transfer (by hand, conveyor belt, etc.)
• How the pass-thru will be used by personnel
• Any specialized requirements including HEPA filters, fire-rated doors, or pneumatic sliding doors

How To Select a Pass Thru

Stainless Steel Pass Thru Windows 

Our stainless steel pass-thru chambers are constructed with a welded stainless steel shell and unique double-wall construction that encloses and protects the mechanical interlock. This double wall also creates a lipless, flush floor for easy material transfer and cleaning. These wall-mounted pass-thru cabinets are extremely strong and durable, are easy to clean, and provide superior aesthetics for your cleanroom or pharmacy. Except for the viewing windows, these pass-thru chambers are made entirely of metal.

All of our cleanroom pass-through cabinets feature doors with heavy-duty stainless steel frames, stainless steel continuous hinges, tempered safety glass windows, silicone bulb gaskets, and stainless steel over-center compression latches. Stainless steel door frames add strength and prevent long-term warpage and cracking, a common problem with all-plastic doors.

Our wall-mounted pass-thru cabinets are available with mechanical interlocks to prevent both doors from being opened at the same time. This helps prevent cleanroom depressurization and contaminant infiltration.

• 304 Stainless steel door frames
• Stainless steel continuous hinges
• Tempered safety glass viewing windows
• Silicone bulb door gaskets
• Stainless steel over-center compression latches

Available Cleanroom Pass-Thru Chamber Configurations

Pass throughs help to eliminate the volume of unnecessary traffic through the cleanroom, reducing cross-contamination and maintaining the positive pressure of the cleanroom.  Floor-mount cleanroom pass throughs allow carts and larger items to enter the cleanroom, while wall-mount models expedite the transfer of materials through an opening installed in the cleanroom wall at a secure and accessible standing height.

Fire Rated Pass Through Windows & Doors

Fire-rated pass thru windows and door systems provide an enclosed airlock space between a cleanroom and an adjoining area that prevents particles from entering the clean room. Fire rated pass thru cabinets are easy to operate and provide cleanroom levels of protection with additional fire safeguard advantages. Before choosing a fire-rated cleanroom pass through system, you will need to consider the type and size of materials you will be transferring and which level of pass-through your industry standards require.

Multi-Stack Pass Thrus

Multi-stack pass throughs provide multiple windows that are efficiently stacked for convenient access when more than one pass through is required.

Lead-Lined Wall Mounted Pass-Thrus

Wall-mounted lead-lined pass-through windows are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel and feature a ¼" thick lead-lined sheet that provides radiation protection of 3mm lead equivalency and 200kV X-Ray peak voltage rating.

Wall Mounted Pneumatic Vertical Sliding Doors Pass-Thrus

Wall Mounted Pneumatically Operated Vertical Sliding Doors Pass Thru airlock cleanroom entry system enables transfer of materials and equipment in and out of a cleanroom with automatic sliding vertical door access, where manual operation or a standard swing door is not suitable.

Wall-Mounted Manual Vertical Sliding Doors Pass-Thrus

Manual wall mounted vertical sliding pass-thru doors enable the transfer of parts and equipment in and out of a cleanroom with a sliding vertical door access in a confined space or where a standard swing door is not suitable (the sliding door causes less air turbulence within the cleanroom than a swing door).
