Dynamic Pass Throw Boxes

Product Description

A dynamic pass box is a specialized piece of equipment used to transfer materials between two environments while maintaining cleanliness and preventing contamination. It is commonly used in cleanrooms, laboratories, and other controlled environments where maintaining a sterile environment is crucial.

Construction and Operation

A dynamic pass box typically consists of a chamber with two interlocked doors, one on each side. Each door is connected to a separate environment, and the doors are designed to prevent air from flowing from one environment to another. This helps to prevent the spread of contaminants.

Inside the chamber, there is a HEPA filter that cleans the air before it is released into the cleanroom. This further reduces the risk of contamination.

The pass box may also have a blower to circulate the air inside the chamber, which helps to ensure that the air is evenly distributed and that contaminants are not trapped in the corners of the chamber.

Operation

To use a dynamic pass box, the operator simply opens the door on the side where the material they want to transfer is located. They then place the material in the chamber and close the door. The blower then circulates the air inside the chamber, and the HEPA filter cleans the air before it is released into the cleanroom. The operator then opens the door on the other side of the pass box and retrieves the material.

Applications

Dynamic pass boxes are used in a variety of applications, including:

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Transferring sterile ingredients and products between different stages of manufacturing
• Electronics manufacturing: Transferring sensitive components between different stages of assembly
• Medical device manufacturing: Transferring sterile medical devices between different stages of manufacturing
• Laboratory research: Transferring samples and materials between different areas of the laboratory

Benefits of Using a Dynamic Pass Box

There are several benefits to using a dynamic pass box, including:

• Prevents cross-contamination: The interlocked doors and HEPA filter help to prevent the spread of contaminants from one environment to another.
• Improves efficiency: Pass boxes can help to improve efficiency by reducing the need for personnel to move between different environments. This can save time and money.
• Protects products: Pass boxes can help to protect products from contamination. This is important in industries such as food and medical device manufacturing, where contamination can make products unusable.

Safety Considerations

When using a dynamic pass box, it is important to follow safety procedures to prevent contamination. This includes:

• Cleaning and disinfecting the pass box regularly: Clean the pass box with a disinfectant solution after each use.
• Wearing gloves and other appropriate PPE when using the pass box: This will help to protect your hands and clothes from contamination.
• Only transferring materials that are clean and free of contaminants: This will help to prevent the introduction of contaminants into the cleanroom.

Comparison of Static and Dynamic Pass Boxes

Both static and dynamic pass boxes are used to transfer materials between two environments while maintaining cleanliness and preventing contamination. However, there are some key differences between the two types of pass boxes:

• Static pass boxes: Static pass boxes simply have two interlocked doors and no HEPA filter. This means that they are not as effective at preventing the spread of contaminants as dynamic pass boxes.
• Dynamic pass boxes: Dynamic pass boxes have a HEPA filter that cleans the air before it is released into the cleanroom. This makes them more effective at preventing the spread of contaminants.

In general, dynamic pass boxes are the preferred type of pass box for use in cleanrooms and other controlled environments. This is because they provide a higher level of protection against contamination. However, static pass boxes may be sufficient for some applications, such as transferring materials between low-risk environments
