Static Pass Box

Static Pass Box

The Static Pass Box, fabricated with 304/316 grade stainless steel or a combination of both, is built to last. Additionally, it incorporates high-quality components that are capable of completely eradicating pollutants from the air. As a result, these pass boxes provide a reliable solution for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in controlled environments.

Static Pass Box – Working Principle & How It Works

A static pass box is a contamination control device installed between two cleanroom areas of different cleanliness levels. Its primary function is to transfer materials, equipment, or samples without compromising the sterile environment.

Working Principle:

Step 1: Material Placement
An operator on the dirty side (lower cleanliness area) places the material inside the pass box through the first door.

Step 2: Door Interlocking Activation
The electromagnetic interlocking system prevents both doors from opening simultaneously. This ensures that unfiltered air from the dirty side never enters the clean side.

Step 3: UV Sterilization (Optional)
If equipped with UV light, the material is exposed to germicidal UV-C radiation for a preset duration (typically 5-15 minutes). This kills surface microorganisms.

Step 4: Material Transfer
The operator on the clean side opens the second door only after the interlock confirms the first door is closed and UV cycle is complete.

Step 5: Material Retrieval
The material is safely retrieved on the clean side without any contamination transfer.

Key Functions Summary:

  • Contamination Prevention: Prevents cross-contamination between different cleanroom zones
  • Material Transfer: Enables safe movement of equipment, documents, and samples
  • Airflow Protection: Maintains pressure differential between adjacent rooms
  • Surface Sterilization: UV light kills microorganisms on material surfaces

Static Pass Box vs Dynamic Pass Box – What's the Difference?

Understanding the difference between static and dynamic pass boxes helps you choose the right equipment for your cleanroom application.

FeatureStatic Pass BoxDynamic Pass Box
Airflow SystemNo active airflow (static)HEPA-filtered air circulation
Contamination ControlDoor interlocking + UV sterilizationHEPA filtration + interlocking + UV
Air PurgingNot availableSelf-cleaning with air shower effect
Price Range₹18,000 – ₹85,000₹45,000 – ₹1,50,000
Best ForISO Class 6-8 cleanroomsISO Class 4-5 cleanrooms
Energy ConsumptionVery lowModerate (blower motor running)

Recommendation: For most pharmaceutical and ISO Class 7-8 cleanrooms, a static pass box with UV light and door interlocking is sufficient and more cost-effective. For ISO Class 5 and above, consider a dynamic pass box with HEPA filtration.

A static pass box has no active airflow or blower. It only uses door interlocking and UV light for contamination control. A dynamic pass box has a HEPA-filtered air circulation system that continuously purges particles. Static is more economical and suitable for ISO Class 6-8 cleanrooms. Dynamic is required for ISO Class 5 and above where stricter airborne particle control is needed.
Standard static pass box sizes are 400mm x 400mm x 400mm (external 500x450x500), 500mm x 500mm x 500mm (external 600x550x600), 600mm x 600mm x 600mm (external 700x650x700), and 800mm x 800mm x 800mm (external 900x850x900). Custom sizes available on request.
Leading static pass box manufacturers in India include Peter Air Systems (Mumbai), Kaizen, Airtech, Simex (Ahmedabad), and Alphalinear (Chennai). Peter Air Systems offers in-house manufacturing with SS 304 / SS 316 construction, electromagnetic interlocking, UV sterilization, and pan-India installation and service support.
Static pass boxes are typically made from SS 304 stainless steel (pharmaceutical grade), SS 316 stainless steel (for corrosive or higher-grade environments), or MS powder coated (for non-pharmaceutical applications). SS 304 is the most common choice for cleanroom applications due to its corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.
Door interlocking prevents both doors from opening at the same time. Electromagnetic interlocking uses solenoids to lock one door while the other is open. A buzzer sounds and indicator lamps show door status. This ensures that dirty side air never enters the clean side, maintaining the cleanroom classification.
Yes. Most pharmaceutical and cleanroom grade static pass boxes include UV germicidal lamps (15W or 30W with 254nm wavelength). The UV light operates only when both doors are closed and is typically timer-controlled for 5-15 minutes. An hour meter tracks UV lamp usage for timely replacement (every 8000-10000 hours or annually).
Yes. We offer complete customization including any size (400mm to 1200mm), any material (SS 304 / SS 316 / MS powder coated), interlocking type (mechanical / electromagnetic / solenoid), finish (mirror / satin / powder coated), and accessories (UV light, hour meter, buzzer, indicator lamps).
Installation involves cutting an opening in the cleanroom wall, inserting the pass box, sealing all gaps with pharmaceutical-grade silicone sealant to prevent air leakage, connecting to 220V power supply, and testing interlock functionality and UV lamp operation.
Yes. We provide pan-India installation and maintenance support for all our static pass boxes. Major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Lucknow have dedicated service teams with 48-hour response time.
