The Deconta ECO-LINE Material Lock Model 1400 is a modular material transfer airlock designed for moving tools, equipment and waste in and out of a contaminated enclosure without allowing contaminants to leave the work area. Built in Germany by Deconta GmbH, it creates a controlled transfer point between the clean and contaminated sides of the enclosure.

Available in multiple chamber configurations, the ECO-LINE Material Lock can be adapted to suit the size and flow requirements of the project. The modular design allows additional chambers to be added later while reusing existing roof and floor components, making it suitable for both short-term asbestos removal works and larger remediation projects.

Used alongside a negative pressure enclosure, the material lock provides a practical way to transfer contaminated materials, waste bags, tools and equipment while maintaining containment and reducing the risk of uncontrolled fibre release.

Daily, weekend, weekly and monthly hire options are available.

Select a hire period in the form below to view rates and submit a booking request.

Before You Book

Tell us what materials will be moving through the lock, the size of the enclosure and the expected waste volume.

If you're unsure what configuration is required, describe the project and we will recommend the most suitable material lock setup for the job.

Delivery and Collection

Available for collection from our Auburn NSW facility.

Delivery can also be arranged throughout Sydney, regional NSW and Australia-wide.

Also Available To Purchase

If the material lock will be used regularly across multiple projects, purchasing is often more cost-effective than repeated hire. Deconta ECO-LINE Material Lock is also available for purchase and can be configured to suit a wide range of asbestos removal, remediation and hazardous material containment projects.

EQUIPMENT HIRE

How hire works

Tell us the job

Enclosure volume, access, and how long the job runs. That is all we need to size the unit properly.

We confirm the unit and the rate

You get the machine that fits the enclosure, not the one nearest the roller door. Under-size it and it will not hold the differential. Over-size it and the enclosure becomes unworkable.

It arrives checked

Serviced, inspected and function-checked before it leaves our Auburn NSW facility.

What every hire includes

Checked before dispatch

Serviced, inspected and function-tested, so it works the day it lands.

Complete and ready to assemble

Components and fittings confirmed with you before it leaves, so nothing is missing on site.

Technical support

From the people who service the fleet. If something goes wrong on site you are not calling a call centre.

Hire, or buy?

Worth doing the arithmetic before you commit either way.

When hire wins

A job that needs more capacity than your own fleet covers, for a few weeks only. A machine you need once a year and cannot justify owning. Or a job you have won but not yet been paid for, where the cash is better used elsewhere.

When owning wins

On most of the fleet, somewhere between four and eight weeks of hire reaches the purchase price of the machine. If a unit is going to be on your sites more than a couple of months a year, owning it is usually cheaper, and you control when it gets serviced.

Frequently asked questions

What is a material lock and why do I need one?

A material lock is the airlock used to move tools, equipment and waste in and out of an enclosure without compromising containment. It provides a controlled transfer point between contaminated and clean areas while helping maintain enclosure integrity.

What is the difference between a material lock and a personnel lock?

A personnel lock is for workers entering and leaving the enclosure. A material lock is for transferring waste bags, tools, equipment and materials. Most asbestos projects use both so people and materials follow separate pathways.

Why do I need a material lock on an asbestos enclosure?

Without a dedicated material lock, every transfer of waste or equipment increases the risk of contamination escaping the enclosure. A material lock creates a controlled process for moving materials while keeping the enclosure secure.

Can chambers be added later?

Yes. The ECO-LINE is modular, so additional chambers can be added as project requirements change. Existing components are reused, making expansion more cost-effective than replacing the entire system.

What can be transferred through the material lock?

Waste bags, tools, equipment, consumables and other materials required for asbestos removal and remediation projects can all be transferred through the material lock.

Does it need a negative pressure unit as well?

The material lock works alongside a negative pressure unit, not instead of one. The enclosure still needs negative pressure to maintain containment, and we can supply both on the same hire.

How many chambers do I need?

The right configuration depends on the size of the enclosure, the amount of material being transferred and the nature of the work. Tell us about the project and we will recommend the most suitable setup.

Where is it made?

Deconta GmbH in Isselburg, Germany. DeconSafe Solutions is the exclusive reseller for Australia and New Zealand.

Can I hire the material lock and personnel lock together?

Yes, and many contractors do. One order, one delivery and a matched containment system designed to work together on site.

Can I hire the material lock and NPU together?

Yes. Most containment projects require both. We can supply the material lock, personnel lock and negative pressure unit as a complete package, matched to the enclosure and project requirements.
