This containment valve is suitable for operation in areas where Operator Exposure Levels (OEL) are limited and high containment operations are essential. The compact valve is designed in two sections, active and passive, and is air operated using a single actuator. Centering bolts ensure proper alignment while vacuum sealing and a connection to the dust collection system guarantee complete containment and increased operator safety. The vacuum system also provides the locking system to prevent separation during operation. The lightweight unit operates without the connection of extra hoses or cables. A mobile cleaning unit provides cleaning of the active section, while the passive section can be cleaned in a container wash station.

Drum filler quickly loads four drums simultaneously
The Bare Bones palletized drum filler reportedly can add material to four drums in four minutes. The drum filler is for low-volume or batching operations that handle four 55-gallon drums sequentially. This same machine will fill IBC’s or pails on a pallet. Standard construction material is all-welded structural steel. A digital weight meter (NTEP-approved) with easy-to-read display and operator-prompting is included — with a 5,000-pound-capacity scale base and four NTEP-approved load cells, a NEMA-12 enclosure, microprocessor controller, and an RS-232 port for optional data acquisition and printer connection. Additional standard equipment includes encoder, air drive, a drip pan, wiper ring, data logging and many software enhancements.
