Out-Gassing Vent protects tanks and
their contents
The Brownell Out-Gassing Vent is a simple and highly effective way to prevent over pressure caused by out-gassing of a product during and after processing
Many products evolve gases and vapours as a result of their manufacture and processing Nitrogen is a typical example of a gas that is released after processing, particularly if it has been used for blanketing purposes to eliminate moisture, humidity and inhibit oxygen

The integral non return valve in the new Brownell Out-Gassing Vent allows gas to escape out from the bulk container or vessel but prevents inward flow from the atmosphere contaminating the product.
Pressure changes caused by temperature and atmospheric variations are also equalised during use and operation.
A sintered plastic filter guards against fine powder being released and protects the effective operation of the non return valve.
The filter is designed to withstand side loads and shocks during filling and transportation.
Out-Gassing Vents can be directly mounted into gas tap flanges or can be bulkhead mounted with an adaptor flange.
Typical applications include protecting storage bags containing milk powder and food aggregates.
All Out-Gassing Vents are fully automatic and require no maintenance.
