Engineering Overview & Fluid Dynamics

Active contamination barrier and laminar downflow principles

The Himalayan Steel Static Pass Box is an inert transfer hatch designed for moving materials between adjoining cleanrooms operating at equivalent air cleanliness ratings (e.g., ISO Class 7 to ISO Class 7 or ISO Class 8 to ISO Class 8). Because no internal airflow is required, it relies on airtight silicone gaskets, rigid double-skin wall construction, and a reliable interlocking mechanism (mechanical rotary cam or 12V DC magnetic latch) to prevent drafts, bypass airflow, and airlock pressure collapse during material staging.

Cleanroom Construction & Architectural Design

cGMP sanitary fabrication details from our Baddi engineering works

Monolithic Double-Skin SS Shell

Chamber outer and inner walls are pressed from heavy-duty AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel sheets, welded seamlessly with fully enclosed reinforcement ribbing for structural rigidity.

Precision Mechanical Cam Interlocking

Internal rotary steel linkage mechanically prevents both door handles from turning at the same time without relying on electrical power, ensuring zero downtime in power outages.

Flush Double-Glazed Glass Window

Twin sheets of shatterproof toughened safety glass are bonded flush with the door frame, eliminating dirt traps and allowing clear visual inspection into the chamber.

Airtight Silicone Gasketing

One-piece continuous extruded hollow silicone profile fitted in a dedicated perimeter channel provides an airtight seal against pressure differential leakages.

Cleanroom Wall Trim Flange

Precision 4-side stainless steel wrap-around flashing collar covers wall cutouts neatly with sanitary food-grade RTV silicone sealant joints.

Integrated UV-C Sterilization Assembly

Centrally mounted germicidal UV tube provides surface decontamination during idle intervals, with door safety switches to prevent operator exposure.

Standard Operating Protocol (cGMP SOP)

Standard operating guidelines and contamination control sequence

SOP REFERENCE GUIDE
Objective
To establish a safe, reproducible method for moving materials across cleanrooms of equal classification using the Himalayan Steel Static Pass Box.
Scope
Applies to all material transfers between equal-grade cleanroom corridors, preparation zones, and packaging suites.
Responsibility
Cleanroom Production Operators and Material Handlers.

Step-by-Step Material Transfer Sequence

1
Verify that both doors are closed and the UV germicidal light is active (or has completed its set sterilization cycle).
2
Open the dispatch-side door; note that the interlock mechanism automatically locks the receiving-side door handle.
3
Place the pre-cleaned materials carefully in the center of the pass box floor.
4
Close the dispatch door fully until the latch engages with a solid click.
5
Notify the receiving operator via intercom or through the view panel. Open the receiving-side door, remove the articles, and immediately close the door firmly.
6
Sanitize the base plate if transferring moist containers or chemical bottles.

Sanitization & Wipe-Down Protocol

  • Wipe internal surfaces daily using lint-free cloths soaked in filtered 70% IPA.
  • Clean both sides of the viewing glass with non-streaking cleanroom glass cleaner.
  • Check door silicone gaskets weekly for elasticity, wear, or tears.

Fail-Safe Interlock Protection

  • Mechanical or electrical interlocking guarantees single-door operation only.
  • Instant microswitch disconnects UV lamp whenever either door is opened.

Optional Engineering Customizations

Site-specific hardware adaptations

  • Electromagnetic 12V DC interlocking conversion with LED door status indicators
  • Digital UV-C exposure timer with automatic shut-off countdown
  • Stainless Steel 304 / 316 floor stand with adjustable leveling feet
  • Support roller conveyor internal bed for heavy container roll-through
  • Audio buzzer for door open timeout alert
  • Flange extension trim for thick RCC civil walls (up to 300 mm)
