Safety Cans and Dosing Cans

Safety cans play a crucial role in the handling of hazardous liquids, especially in industrial and laboratory environments. The FALCON safety cans from DENIOS offer an optimum solution for the safe storage and dosing of aggressive and flammable substances. Thanks to their robust design and the use of high-quality materials, these containers guarantee a high level of protection against potential hazards. They also fulfil all relevant safety regulations that are required when handling hazardous materials.

Integrated flame arrester:

The integrated flame arrester protects the contents of the safety containers from unwanted penetration of sparks even when the container is open. Made from special stainless steel mesh, the stored substances are safely protected from sparks and flames. This provides reliable explosion protection, which also prevents the container from bursting. The fuse can be easily removed and reinserted for cleaning.

Pressure relief valves:

Chemical reactions occur naturally with various hazardous materials, which can lead to overpressure and resulting explosions. The overpressure valves ensure automatic pressure equalisation before possible explosions at an overpressure of 0.3 - 0.4 bar. As soon as the excess pressure has escaped, the valves ensure that the containment is automatically re-sealed.

Earthing connections:

Many FALCON containers are also available with an optional earthing connection. A suitable Quick-Connect earthing cable is available as an accessory and completes the safety package, as there is a risk of electrostatic charge both when transferring/filling and when emptying. This can lead to sparking and thus possibly cause an explosion.

Impact rings and handles:

The impact rings protect the body of the container from damage and permanent deformation, especially in the small and therefore mobile safety jugs with a volume of 1, 2 or 5 litres. The ergonomically shaped handles are comfortable to use and therefore support safe handling.

There is always a certain risk when handling hazardous materials of any kind. To ensure safe use, please observe the following instructions:

Handling:

If safety containers are to be emptied, oxygen must always be able to flow into the container. The FALCON containers with fine dosing tap are designed so that both flow paths can take place. Only tilt the container as far as necessary during use. If the container is tilted so much that the fine dosing tap is below the liquid level, not enough oxygen can flow in. As a result, the substance in the container cannot flow out evenly.

On the other hand, in FALCON safety containers with a tap, oxygen can already flow in via a ventilation screw. This enables permanent storage in a horizontal position, e.g. in DENIOS safety storage cabinets.

Cleaning & maintenance:

The safety containers should be checked for leaks and functionality at regular intervals. How often this needs to be done depends on use and should depend on the type of substance to be stored, the hazard potential of this substance and the intensity of use.

If different substances are to be stored, the container must be thoroughly cleaned inside and out. The containers may only be cleaned when they are completely and totally empty. Otherwise there is a risk of undesirable chemical reactions.

A decisive criterion when choosing the right safety container is its resistance to the stored medium. Attention should also be paid to individual requirements such as the intended use, the capacity or desired extras.
