A multi-function closure is provided for a liquid containment tank. The tank has an upper wall with an inspection opening therein. The closure includes a ring attached to the upper wall and extending around the inspection opening. A pan is removably fastened to the ring, and has a bottom and side wall forming a reservoir for collection of spilled liquid. A lid is pivotally connected to the pan for movement between open and closed positions, and can be locked in the closed position. Multiple ports are formed in the bottom of the pan for filling the tank with liquid, and suctioning or pumping liquid from the tank for discharge.

A fixing clamp (2) for discharge outlet of intermediate bulk containers is disclosed. The discharge outlet (1) comprises a flange edge (3), a discharge connecting port (5) and a discharge outlet clamping part (4). The discharge outlet clamping part (4) is a polygonal structure. The fixing clamp (2) comprises a fixing clamp body, a clamping portion (8), elastic guiding ribs (7) and anti-release portion (9). A passage for accommodating the discharge outlet clamping part (4) is formed in the middle part of the fixing clamp body. The clamping portion (8) is used for clamping the side surface of the discharge outlet clamping part (4) when the fixing clamp (2) and the discharge outlet (1) have been assembled. The elastic guiding ribs (7) will be squeezed by the side surface of the discharge outlet clamping part (4) to deform When the leading-in surfaces of the elastic guiding ribs (7) contact with the side surface of the discharge outlet clamping part (4). The elastic guiding ribs (7) restore elastically and the anti-release portion (9) are engaged with the side surface of the discharge outlet clamping part (4) to prevent the fixing clamp (2) from being separated front the discharge outlet (1) after the fixing clamp (2) and the discharge outlet (1) have been assembled. The fixing clamp (2) can be transversely pushed in to be assembled with the discharge outlet (1). The fixing clamp has low requirements for assembly accuracy, and is favorable for saving cost and increasing efficiency.

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.

An access control device for controlling access to a tank defining a storage chamber and access to the storage chamber; the device includes at least one cap and an external apparatus; the cap includes a closure body defining a closed position and an open position; a housing defining a housing volume for the closure body and a reciprocal rotation with respect to the closure body; a connection to connect the closure body to the housing, thereby defining an operating configuration in which said reciprocal rotation is prevented and a non-operating configuration in which it allows said reciprocal rotation, thus preventing said housing from controlling the passage of the closure body between the closed and open positions; and a data connector to provide wireless data connection with the external apparatus to allow it to control the passage of the connection between operating configuration and non-operating configuration.

A fitting prevents the unintentional flow of flowable material out of a container through a valve. The valve comprises a housing, a flow control element rotatable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, and an actuator for moving the flow control element, wherein the fitting is adapted for insertion into the housing which in use locks the flow control element in a closed configuration by preventing rotation of the flow control element.

The present invention relates to a container for holding bulk material, having a closable inlet for the bulk material in the upper closure of the container, a cross-sectional geometry narrowing in the outlet direction for the bulk material, an outlet tube for the bulk material arranged subsequently in the outlet direction, a first reversible mechanical closure device (A), which is arranged in the transition region from the container body to the outlet tube or in the outlet tube itself and, by opening, releases the bulk material from the interior of the container, and a second closure device (B) which reversibly closes the mouth of the outlet tube, the second closure device being a cover which is pressed flush onto the mouth of the outlet tube by means of a closure device, there being a seal which seals the outlet tube in a gas- and liquid-tight fashion from the external environment at least on the contact surface of the cover with the mouth degree of the outlet tube, wherein the cover is screwed onto or is pressed with a clamping ring or a bayonet closure onto the mouth of the outlet tube.
