TAMPER-LOC® Closure System

As a closure system, the TAMPER-LOC incorporates a plug and an external, sonic-welded tamper-evident ring with ratchets. Together, these components provide the most reliable protection for plastic drums without the need for a separate tamper-evident cap seal. The external ring features a series of ratchets that correspond and lock up with another series of ratchets in the drum opening, effectively preventing plug backoff. When the drum is opened for the first time, using a standard bung wrench, the external ring is broken and removed from the plug.Designed for ease of inspection of proper torque before shipment, as well as immediate evidence of any tampering before opening. As an added feature, the ring can be colored and/or embossed with your company logotype.

NOTE:

• Proper torque is 25 ft.-lbs. To ensure accurate sealing, the W-126PT-04-25 preset torque wrench (page 30) is recommended.
• Optional PX-4 dust caps are recommended to protect drums from foreign matter prior to filling. Ask your Rieke Packaging Systems representative.

(Replaceable) Flanges - VISEGRIP

These flanges are specially designed for use with plastic, reusable drums. They are molded of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and reinforced with fiberglass and UV stabilizers, for exceptional durability.

EACH OF THESE FLANGES:

• Can be removed and replaced when needed, extending the life and usability of the drum.
• Reduces ovalization on new and reconditioned drums.
• When used with a POLY-VISEGRIP plug, can be cap sealed for tamper-evident protection.
