Coupling for toxic powders
April 1st 2004

The new HiCoFlexO SL from Buck Valve is a self-locking coupling that allows highly sensitive or toxic powders or granules to be transferred safely from flexible sacks into the manufacturing process or vice versa.

Containment during all stages of the decanting process is achieved using a split coupling principle. Two complementary half couplings are docked to each other, forming a combined coupling which then opens and closes for the contained decanting and undocking process.

It is inexpensive, operates automatically, and is designed for use in areas requiring up to OEB4 Dust Emission Class containment. It can be fitted to a flexible bag and can be kept or disposed of after use.
