In logistics and warehouse management, a pass box is a common device used to transfer items safely between areas of different cleanliness levels, preventing cross-contamination. Depending on their operation mode, pass boxes are mainly categorized into Dynamic Pass Boxes and Static Pass Boxes. This article explores their differences to help you choose the right solution.
A static pass box is a non-powered transfer device that relies on manual operation. Its key features include:
No Airflow: Lacks fans or filters, relying on physical isolation to reduce contamination risks.
Simple Structure: Typically made of stainless steel or durable plastic, with a lower cost.
Applications: Suitable for low-cleanliness zones or non-sensitive items (e.g., packaging materials, tools).
Operation: Features interlocked doors to prevent simultaneous opening, ensuring one-way transfer.
✔ Cost-effective, low maintenance
✔ Ideal for low-risk environments
✔ No power required, energy-efficient
A dynamic pass box is equipped with an air purification system (e.g., HEPA filters) and fans to actively control airflow and maintain cleanliness. Its core features include:
Air Filtration: Built-in HEPA filters to remove particles and microorganisms.
Airflow Control: Supports unidirectional or bidirectional airflow to block contaminants.
Applications: Used in industries with strict cleanliness standards (e.g., food Industry,pharmaceuticals, labs, electronics).
Advanced Features: Some models offer UV sterilization, touchscreen controls, etc.
✔ Ensures higher cleanliness
✔ Complies with GMP, ISO standards
✔ Customizable for industry needs
Feature | Static Pass Box | Dynamic Pass Box |
Airflow | None | HEPA-filtered |
Cleanliness | Low | High |
Cost | Lower | Higher |
Industries | Warehousing, Food Packaging | Food Industry,Pharma, Labs, Semiconductors |
Maintenance | Low | Filter replacement needed |
For low-cleanliness needs and budget constraints, a static pass box is a practical choice.
For high-cleanliness environments (e.g., sterile production), a dynamic pass box offers superior protection.
