    Choosing the Right System

    ECO-Line is Deconta’s flagship modular personnel decontamination range. It features premium, robust construction and a more open upper design that allows more light into the unit, creating a brighter and more comfortable decontamination environment for workers.
    SMART+ is the more budget-friendly alternative. It provides the same core personnel decontamination function as ECO-Line while using a more economical construction, making it a strong option for contractors who want a professional decontamination system at a lower purchase cost.
    SMART Line is Deconta’s most economical modular range and is designed to integrate with SMART DOOR and SMART DOOR+. This allows compatible doors, chambers and accessories to work together as one coordinated containment and decontamination system.
    SMART DOOR and SMART DOOR+ are reusable containment access systems rather than complete personnel decontamination units. They provide a controlled access point into the work area and can be used independently or integrated with compatible Deconta components as part of a larger modular system.
    For the transfer of contaminated tools, equipment, waste and other materials, a Material Lock provides a dedicated route separate from the personnel decontamination pathway. This helps keep material movement and personnel movement properly separated within the site setup.
    For contractors who need a complete decontamination facility that can move from project to project, a mobile decon trailer provides a purpose-built solution. The decontamination stages and supporting services are integrated into the trailer, reducing the need to repeatedly assemble and dismantle temporary decontamination facilities at each site. A decon trailer is particularly useful for contractors working across multiple locations who want a consistent, ready-to-deploy setup.

    Decontamination Systems

    For Australian asbestos removal work requiring a full wet personnel decontamination unit, the typical three-stage arrangement consists of a dirty decontamination/shower area, a clean decontamination/shower area, and a clean changing area. These areas are separated to control the movement of contamination from the work area back into clean zones.
    Deconta offers several decontamination systems to suit different budgets, site layouts and operating requirements. The ranges should not be viewed simply as options for small, medium or large jobs. The main differences are in construction, price point, system integration and mobility.

    Air Shower

    The Air Shower is a separate dust-control solution intended for general,
    non-asbestos dust applications. It should not be considered a replacement for
    an approved wet personnel decontamination system for asbestos removal work. 

    A 3-stage wet decontamination unit is the minimum standard setup for asbestos
    work requiring full personnel decontamination. Workers move from a dirty
    decontamination/shower area, through a clean decontamination/shower
    area, and into a clean changing area, with separation between each
    stage to control cross-contamination.

    More complex or higher-tier projects may require 4- or 5-stage decontamination
    systems for additional separation and control. DeconSafe can supply and
    configure multi-stage systems to suit project and site requirements.

    Frequently asked questions

    How does a decontamination shower work?

    Workers move through three connected stages: a dirty room to remove contaminated PPE, a shower for wash-down, and a clean room to change into clean clothes. Airlocks between each stage stop fibres travelling back into a cleaner zone.

    Which unit suits a small crew on a single site?

    The SMART DOOR 1000 or SMART Line 1000 suit smaller, fixed-site jobs. Step up to the ECOLINE 1000 or SMART+ 1000 as crew size or job duration increases.

    Which decontamination unit suits a larger crew or higher-use site?

    The 3-stage decontamination layout remains the same across the ECO-Line, SMART+ and SMART Line ranges. What mainly determines how many workers the system can handle is the water management capacity the system needs to keep up with shower water supply, heating, filtration and wastewater handling during continuous use. For higher-throughput sites, DeconSafe can match the decontamination unit with a larger-capacity water management system to suit the expected crew and usage.

    What's the difference between a modular unit and a mobile decon unit?

    Modular units are set up and left in place for the length of a job. Mobile units like the C5000A and E4000 are trailer-mounted, so the full 3-stage system travels between sites without being rebuilt each time.

    Is a water treatment system needed alongside a decon shower?

    Yes. A wet decontamination shower requires a suitable water management system to collect, filter and manage contaminated wastewater before discharge or disposal in accordance with site requirements. The water system should also be sized to match the expected shower usage, particularly on higher-throughput sites. DeconSafe can pair the decon unit with the appropriate water management system for the project.

    Can these units be customised?

    Yes. Decontamination systems can be configured to suit the site layout, access requirements and expected usage. This can include additional stages, different chamber arrangements, upgraded water management, SMART DOOR integration and material locks. For tight-access or unusual sites, the modular system can also be configured in L-shaped or other non-standard layouts where a straight-line decon setup will not fit.

    Is a water treatment system needed alongside a decon shower?

    Yes, wastewater from the shower stage needs to be filtered before disposal. See our Water Treatment Systems page, or ask our team to pair a unit to your decon shower.

    What warranty comes with these units?

    Contact our sales team for current warranty terms, which vary by model and range.

    How long does delivery take?

    Standard delivery runs 5 to 7 business days; contact us to confirm timing for your specific model and location.

    Are these units available to hire?

    Speak to our team about hire options if you need a unit for a single job rather than an ongoing purchase.

    What industries use these beyond asbestos removal?

    The same 3-stage principle applies to mould remediation, chemical handling and biohazard cleanup, anywhere workers need controlled decontamination before leaving a contaminated area.

    Do I need to record decontamination unit servicing?

    Yes, keep inspection and cleaning records between jobs. These form part of the documentation regulators and clients expect to see on audit.
