Abstract
A treatment device for transport and storage boxes according to the invention comprises a plurality of decontamination modules (-) supported by a common chassis () and arranged in a row of at least one column () of modules superposed one on top of the other. Each decontamination module (-) comprises its own pumping means () having at least a primary pump () housed in a primary pumping compartment () that is longitudinally offset from the decontamination chamber (). Access to the decontamination modules (-) is had via side access doors which are all oriented on one and the same access side and which are acted upon by actuating means that automatically close and open them. A lateral transfer zone is provided on the access side, and comprises a robot () capable of moving the transport and storage boxes between a frontal loading-unloading station () and the decontamination chambers () of each of the decontamination modules (-). The amount of space occupied by and the throughput of the treatment device () are thus optimized.
