LEVER-LOC™ Lever Rings for Industrial Open Head Containers

The LEVER-LOC Closure System

As steadfast as it is easy to use, LEVER-LOC is becoming the ring closure of choice for companies that package in open-head containers. Successful in the most trying hydrostatic and drop tests, LEVER-LOC consistently meets UN and DOT Packaging Standards for regulated materials.

When closed, the ring overlaps—eliminating gaps—to ensure itssealing power completely encircles the lid.

The unique lever design is as dependable as a bolt ring, and yet much easier to apply and remove over and over again.

Custom sizing and profiling capabilities produce aLEVER-LOC ring that precisely fits any given container,from one gallon size up through IBC tanks.

LEVER-LOC Lever Models

The lever model you choose will depend on two primary application factors:

Packaged Contents—Just as the contents will determine how robust the container needs to be, they will also determine the necessary gauge or performance strength of the lever. Regulated materials requiring a more reliable drum will likewise require a more reliable lever of a higher gauge and steel thickness.
Dimensions of Container—Larger levers are designed for larger container diameters in order to apply the required pressure when closed. Other specifications, such as the radius and throw of the lever handle, vary with openings and lids to maintain the ease of applying and removing the ring.

Note:
The current selection of lever models is extensive and diverse due largely to the fact Rieke Packaging Systems will often alter the design of an existing model to serve a unique customer need.
