Mon 20.07.2026

Kambič pass-through chambers provide a technically robust solution for safe material transfer between separated environments without compromising their integrity. With stainless steel construction, reliable interlock systems, and a wide range of configurable options, they are ideal for clean and controlled applications.

Kambič Pass-Through Chambers: a technical solution for safe material transfer

In controlled clean environments, it is essential to minimize the risk of contamination when transferring materials between different zones. Kambič pass-through chambers (pass boxes) provide a simple and reliable solution that enables safe transfer without the need for personnel to enter another space.

Technical solution

A Kambič pass-through chamber is designed as a closed transfer module installed within a wall between two areas. Its key feature is a mechanical interlock, which ensures that both doors cannot be opened simultaneously. This eliminates direct air exchange between zones and significantly reduces the risk of contamination.The system is engineered for maximum reliability-the interlock operates without the need for a power supply, increasing safety and minimizing operational requirements. The unit is ergonomically designed and allows single-handed operation.

Design and construction

The chamber design meets the requirements of clean environments:

• Stainless steel construction (interior and exterior) with a polished finish
• Large-radius corners for easy cleaning and reduced particle accumulation
• 12 mm tempered glass doors for process visibility
• Silicone sealing for proper chamber closure

The result is a robust and hygienic design that ensures efficient maintenance and long-term operation.

Flexibility and technical options

Kambič pass-through chambers are designed as modular systems with a high level of customization:

• various sizes and configurations
• mechanical or electromagnetic locking
• lockable versions
• installation options (wall-mounted, console, supporting legs)
• wide range of accessories

For more demanding applications, the chamber can be equipped with:

• H14 HEPA filter
• differential pressure manometer
• PLC control with LED signaling and LCD display
• UV sterilization
• air shower system
• H₂O₂ connectors

Practical benefits

Key advantages of the Kambič solution:

• Safe material transfer without compromising the environment
• Reduced personnel movement between zones
• Easy maintenance thanks to hygienic design
• High reliability due to mechanical interlock
• Flexible configuration for specific applications

The manufacturer reports more than 500 installations, confirming proven performance in real-world use.

Typical applications

Kambič pass-through chambers are suitable for environments where cleanliness and process safety are critical:

• laboratories
• pharmaceutical production
• healthcare facilities
• research and development
• industrial clean environments

Conclusion

Kambič pass-through chambers represent an efficient and technically advanced solution for controlled material transfer. The combination of robust stainless steel construction, a reliable interlock system, and extensive configuration options makes them a versatile tool for modern clean environments.
