Overview

This is a popular drum filler accessory because it is the least expensive device for removing up to 99% of dangerous fumes from the filling station. This Teflon bellows/skirt is designed to accept and collect the fumes during the drum or tote filling cycle. It is also a safety device, because it prevents liquid splash back during the filling operation.

The air operated device is built onto the fume box. An air cylinder lowers a plate with a Teflon bellows attached. It pushes the nipple of the bellows into the bung opening of the drum while the bladder rests on top of the drum. The bellows creates a seal for the fumes to be drawn out through a port on the side of the fume box. The filler controller automatically adjusts for the added weight of the bellows during the auto-tare process. The bellows retracts when the lance retracts at the completion of the fill cycle.

This accessory can be added to any standard filler made by Specialty Equipment Corp.
