GD Bandlock™ 2 Closures

GD Bandlock™ 2 Closures provide horizontal or vertical access to any pressure vessel in seconds. Compared with other quick-opening closures they can be operated safely at remarkable speed any size of unit can be opened or closed in less than a minute, with no special tools required.

INTEGRAL SAFETY DEVICES

Safety has been engineered into the Bandlock™ 2 at every stage of its design and manufacture. A hand-operated pressure warning screw integrated into the mechanism prevents the door being unlocked until it is confirmed that the vessels internal pressure has been relieved. Additional secondary safety features, such as mechanical key interlocks, can be fitted and integrated with control valve operations.

For complete safety, the locking band can be seen at all times, which satisfies design code requirements and means that the operator can actually see that the door is securely closed and locked.

APPROVED DESIGN

Standard units meet ASME VIII Div.1. The requirement of other pressure vessel codes, such as ASME VIII Div. 2 and PD5500 can be accommodated. ASME Code Stamp with U-2A partial data report can be furnished as an option. Code stamping verifies shop inspection of the closure and materials by an ASME Authorized Inspector.
