Disclosed is an adapter for dispensing content to minimize exposure to ambient air. The adapter introduces an inflatable sealing mechanism by comprising a container having open ends on top and bottom of the container, a piercing unit to perforate a seal of a factory sealed content bottle, a conduit configured to fluidize contents in the first factory sealed content bottle through providing inert gas, a cap coupled to the open end on top of the container and an inflatable bladder configured to seal the first factory sealed content bottle while transferring the contents into a second bottle or a valve. The adapter further introduces a thread engaging sealing mechanism by adding a screw thread inside an open neck on top of the container. The bottom of the container is coupled to a second bottle or a valve.

The invention relates to a conveying system for bulk goods, in particular plastic granules, which conveying system has at least two senders (A to C) and at least two receivers (I to IV), which are connected to each other by conveying lines (7 to 9) via at least one switch station (1). The switch station (1) has at least two inlets (4 to 6) and at least two outlets (10 to 12), which are each provided with a valve (13) and which are provided on a coupling tube (2) that connects the inlets (4 to 6) and the outlets (10 to 12). The switch station (1) has at least one venting valve (14, 15, 32), which is provided on the coupling tube (2).
