We are proud to support Taronga Zoo’s clinical facilities with our high-quality pass-through hatches (PTH), helping maintain efficient and controlled environments for veterinary operations.

Clinical and veterinary facilities require careful consideration of contamination control, material flow and environmental separation. Pass-through hatches provide a practical solution for transferring equipment, supplies and other materials between controlled areas without unnecessary personnel movement.

Our stainless steel pass through hatches provide a durable, easily cleanable transfer point designed for demanding clinical and laboratory environments. By creating a controlled pathway between rooms, PTHs can help reduce unnecessary traffic and minimise the risk of cross-contamination between areas.

Pass-Through Hatches for Veterinary Facilities

For veterinary facilities such as those at Taronga Zoo, efficient material transfer can play an important role in supporting day-to-day clinical operations. A well-designed material transfer hatch allows staff to move items between designated areas while maintaining separation between different environments.

Cleanroom and controlled-environment applications can require different levels of contamination control depending on the facility and its processes. Our range includes standard pass through hatches, HEPA-filtered pass-through hatches and custom configurations, allowing the hatch to suit the requirements of the surrounding facility.

Our PTHs can also incorporate features such as mechanical or electromagnetic interlocks, magnetic door seals and stainless steel construction, providing reliable operation and supporting the integrity of controlled environments.

We are pleased to contribute our expertise in PTH design and manufacture to Taronga Zoo’s clinical facilities, helping support efficient workflows, controlled material transfer and the high standards expected within modern veterinary environments. These pass-through hatches are designed to support the team in advancing animal health, safety, and conservation efforts.

From veterinary and clinical facilities to laboratories, pharmaceutical environments and cleanrooms, Cleanrooms Australia provides custom PTH solutions designed around the requirements of each project.
