Buck Test Station

Niro Inc. announced today that it will have a Buck Test Station available from its office in Columbia, MD. This unit allows users to test various products for containment levels in their own facilities, or if preferred tests can be conducted at Niro's Maryland facilities. The Buck Test Station has the following features:

• Mobile (can be shipped to customer's facility)
• All valves size 8"
• Valve rated for pressures up to 4.5 psig
• Maintains seal against +29 inches of vacuum
• Valves manufactured of 316L stainless steel
• Containers also manufactured of 316L stainless steel
• Available with EPDM elastomers - Kalrez available on special order
• Valves have pneumatic actuators
• Results can be used in design to scale new systems up or down

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.
