Niro Pharma Systems has announced the US availability of the new POM passive Buck valve. These valves, made of light-weight polyoxymethylene (POM), are ideal for applications where minimum overall weight is required because plant personnel must lift bins or seed containers. Buck split-valve technology allows containers to maintain a dust-tight seal while connecting with (and disconnecting from) intermediate bulk containers and various process equipment such as mills, dryers, blenders, presses, and compactors. The design eliminates contamination of the product or leakage of material that might endanger operators to less than 1 microgram/m3.
