Key Features

Rapid Operation Mechanism

The EMT Bandlock Quick Opening Closure incorporates an advanced scalable locking-ring structure that revolutionizes pipeline access procedures. Engineered for efficiency, the closure can be securely opened or closed in under 60 seconds with minimal operator effort – requiring less than 200N of force. This rapid operation capability significantly reduces downtime during pig launching and receiving operations, making it particularly valuable for field applications where time efficiency is crucial. The intuitive design enables single-operator handling, eliminating the need for specialized tools or extensive crew involvement.

 

Advanced Sealing Technology

At the heart of the EMT Bandlock Closure lies a sophisticated self-tightening lip seal system. This innovative sealing mechanism automatically enhances its sealing integrity as internal pressure increases, creating a more secure seal under higher operational pressures. The technology ensures reliable performance across varying pressure and temperature conditions, maintaining leak-proof integrity throughout operation cycles. This advanced sealing approach not only guarantees operational safety but also extends the service life of sealing components, reducing maintenance frequency and associated costs.

Comprehensive Safety Systems

Safety integration forms the foundation of the EMT Bandlock Closure design. The system features a multi-stage safety locking mechanism with an integrated self-locking function that activates during both pressurization and depressurization sequences. The design requires proper engagement of all locking components before pressurization can commence, preventing accidental operation or unauthorized access. Additionally, the closure incorporates a pressure verification system that ensures complete depressurization before the blind flange cover can be opened, eliminating risks associated with residual pressure and protecting personnel from potential hazards.
