Many businesses face challenges during the processing, storage and transport of materials, including minimizing product losses, reducing vapor emissions, decreasing the risk of explosions and/or keeping operating pressures close to the maximum allowable tank pressure.

One key to reducing such challenges is a quality tank hatch. Tank hatches can be used for bulk storage silos, grain elevators, baghouses for cement, food products, grain and industrial products.

They provide venting when adding and removing product from storage silos or other structures. In addition, hatches enable access to the tanks and silos if an employee has to enter to clean or inspect the structure. They feature a large, 24-inch opening for access. A weather hood provides protection from environmental elements, and there are no internal components that may contaminate the product.

Other specifications include: stand-off extension tube, flanged matching-bolt pattern for easy installation, stainless-steel construction that withstands harsh environments, minimal effect on air flow rate, and the internal configuration allows air flow while protecting the PRV hatch.
