Decontamination systems - H₂O₂ transfer hatch with NHP process
Safe transfers between hygienic areas - validated, efficient and automated
The H₂O₂ transfer hatch with NHP process from FASTER is a highly developed solution for contamination-free material transfer between cleanroom zones of different classifications. Thanks to the integrated bio-decontamination process based on Nebulised Hydrogen Peroxide (NHP), the transfer hatch guarantees validated germ retention and reliable decontamination - completely residue-free and in the shortest possible time.
Your product benefits at a glance
- Fast, validated decontamination cycles (30-45 minutes)
- Automated control & safety interlocking of the doors
- Protection against cross-contamination during room-to-room transfers
- Safe handling thanks to ergonomic loading/unloading system
- Residue-free process without chemical residue
- Easy integration into existing production processes
- Documentable process data for compliance & audit security
Application and functional principle
The system is designed for the controlled room-to-room transfer of materials via a mutually interlocked chamber, with complete decontamination of the load before entering the next hygiene area.
An integrated rail system with point contact support facilitates the transfer from trolley to trolley or container within the airlock - treating all contact surfaces as well as the surrounding air with H₂O₂ mist in a closed circuit.
Technical highlights & functions
- Unique loading and unloading system for ergonomic and safe handling of material trolleys or containers
- Integrated high-performance catalyser for rapid decomposition of the H₂O₂ at the end of the process
- Decontamination cycles between 30-45 minutes (depending on the process)
- Fully automatic process sequence, including door interlock, gassing, ventilation and release
- Selectable prioritisation of locking logic for inlet and outlet side - can be optimally adapted to process sequences
- Precise temperature control protects temperature-sensitive storage or production goods
- Optional onboard data recording for GMP-compliant documentation and audit trails
- Easy integration into existing cleanroom infrastructure thanks to modular design and interface compatibility
Suitable for applications in
- Pharmaceutical & biopharmaceutical industry
- Hospital pharmacies & clean room laboratories
- Biotechnological production environments
- Food industry with high hygiene standards
- Transport systems for sterile or sensitive materials
- Clinical study centres & vaccine production
Advantages of the H₂O₂-NHP process
The Nebulised Hydrogen Peroxide (NHP) process uses finely atomised hydrogen peroxide for surface and room air decontamination and offers numerous advantages over traditional methods:
- Excellent material compatibility - even for sensitive devices or packaging
- Environmentally friendly - complete degradation to water and oxygen, no toxic residues
- Highly efficient - 6-log reduction of bacteria, viruses and spores (sporicidal)
- No post-cleaning required - residue-free
- Safe process under controlled negative pressure - no release of H₂O₂ into the environment
- Validated and GMP-compliant - suitable for pharmaceutical environments in accordance with EU GMP and FDA requirements
