The custom-engineered assemblies are tested and certified to meet industry standards for blast resistance, bullet resistance, and fire protection. Engineered to contain environmental hazards and structural threats, the fire-rated configurations act as passive safety barriers to provide evacuation time during building fires. The customizable, heavy-duty frames are intended for high-occupancy and critical infrastructure facilities, including schools, hospitals, and government structures, to mitigate risk without restricting natural light or occupant visibility.
Volkmann USA Introduces Containment Bulk Bag Unloader
Volkmann USA unveiled a sealed containment bulk bag unloader designed to automate the transfer of toxic, ignitable, and hazardous materials from flexible intermediate bulk containers. To protect operators from material exposure and prevent dust release into the workplace, the closed system features dust-tight docking and an integrated glove box for isolated hands-on bag access. The emptying station is engineered to mitigate inhalation and contact risks associated with chemical and allergenic materials, including battery manufacturing compounds like cobalt and nickel. The unit can be custom-configured in stainless or carbon steel and integrates with pneumatic vacuum conveyors.
