Double and Single Yoke Style Closures are widely accepted throughout the world for applications where frequent access is required or where the blind flanges are cumbersome and time consuming. Yoke Style Closures can be equipped with operating aids to simplify operation and speed up opening and closing. Devices such as breakover wrenches and chain and sprocket drives are available Size range 2” – 72” Pressure range ANSI 150 - 2500.

  • Quick Opening Closure with swing locking system ( SWING TYPE​​ /T Bolt Type Hinge​​ )

  • Quick Opening Closure with floating head ( FLOATING HEAD TYPE )

These components are highly used for pressure vessels, especially for pig launchers/receivers, filters and separators.​​ Closures have vital importance for Pig L/R, seperators and wherever it is used. It assures safety and prevents the closure from opening when there is excess of pressure in the system.
