A container chassis coupling device includes a first mounting bracket that has a first locking bar securing element that is configured to secure the first mounting bracket to a first locking bar on a container, and a second mounting bracket that is slidably coupled to the first mounting bracket and that includes a second locking bar securing element that is configured to secure the second mounting bracket to a second locking bar on the container. The container chassis coupling device prevents the first locking bar and the second locking bar from being oriented from a locked orientation to an unlocked orientation. The container chassis coupling device also includes a node mounting device that is coupled to the first mounting bracket or the second mounting bracket and that is configured to couple a node chassis of a node device to the container chassis coupling device.

Disclosed is a valve for use in particulate material processing. The valve has a rotatable closure member having a convex sealing surface and a resilient sealing ring moveable between a first configuration in which the sealing ring forms a seal around a circumference of the convex sealing surface; and a second position in which a circumferential gap is defined between the convex sealing surface and the sealing ring. The valve body defines a fluid-directing surface extending around the fluid passage between the inlet and the sealing ring to define an annular clearance which tapers towards the sealing ring and becomes narrower than the annular gap. When there is a pressure drop across the valve and before the closure member is moved to fully open the valve, material flowing through the valve experiences a dynamic pressure rise towards the circumferential gap, decreasing flow velocity and wear.

An intermodal container includes first and second ends, joined by first and second sides in a generally rectangular configuration. A generally continuous floor cooperates with the first and second ends and the first and second sides to form an open top container. A plurality of roof overhangs extend adjacent a top of the open top container, generally parallel to the floor. The intermodal container includes a roll cover having a first position in which the open top container is substantially open to the ambient environment to allow for loading from above the first and second sides and first and second ends of the open top container. The roll cover has a second position in which the open top container is substantially closed to the ambient environment to prevent any contents of the open top container to be ejected from the open top container during transport. A plurality of top reinforcement rails are disposed adjacent upper portions of the first and second sides, and extends from the first side to the second side.

A security sleeve including a top panel, a bottom panel, two side panels, a first end, and a second end. The first end of the security sleeve is open and the second end is at least partially closed by at least one bar and the at least one bar is secured to the second end. The security sleeve can be installed in the opening of a wall or panel, e.g., in a shipping container. An air conditioning unit or a heating unit can be installed in the security sleeve through the first end.

The present invention proposes a relief module comprising a tubular body (10) for the passage of bulk material, at least a lateral opening (12) in the tubular body (10), a window (20) to cover the respective lateral opening (12), the window (20) operating in a closed position preventing the bulk material from exiting through the lateral opening (12) or in an open position allowing the material to exit through the lateral opening (12), the window (20) having at least one portion made of filtering material allowing the air to pass through and retain solid particles, when the window (20) is in the closed position. The present invention also proposes a bulk material discharge device which receives the bulk material from a feeding system and discharges the bulk material to a destination, the discharge device comprising a relief module configured according to the invention.

A mold that abuts an innerliner against a mold surface of a mouthpiece comprises two molds, an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold comprises a heating portion that heats an outer abutting surface that abuts the cylinder portion of the innerliner against the first annular surface of the mouthpiece and comprises an upper mold side positioning cylindrical surface; and the lower mold comprises an inner abutting surface that abuts a section of a dome portion near the cylinder portion against a second annular surface of the mouthpiece and comprises a lower mold side positioning cylindrical surface that is capable of engaging with the upper mold side positioning cylindrical surface. The section that comprises the lower mold side positioning cylindrical surface is formed of a material with a lower thermal conductivity than that of the upper mold.
