Liquid packaging – from IBC to retail Overview 3Swans Here’s an easier way to pour and decant bulk containers. A 20L container of product is heavy and unwieldy to pour from which may result in lost product and dangerous or messy chemicals contaminating a workspace. Simplify pouring by using a Tap-cap. With less chance of spillage and wastage than by simply tipping the container, this makes dispensing a breeze. What makes Tap-caps different is that they are breather cap Smooth flow tap on 63.5mm taps which do not require a secondary opening to achieve a smooth flow. Tap-caps are especially useful with dangerous goods, expensive products (that customers don’t want to waste by spilling) and water (for camping, events or emergencies). When using Tap-caps with chemicals we recommend you always return the container to its upright position after using the tap. This reduces the chance of leakage from around the cap (an issue whether or not you use a Tap-cap). It also reduces the contact between the product and the tap and increases the life expectancy of the tap. All taps from 3Swans are made from food grade LDPE and polypropylene so they are compatible with a wide range of chemicals or food products. Available in two sized breather taps, there is the Aeroflow with an 18mm outlet and the Smooth Flow with a 12mm outlet. This tap is more suited to decanting small quantities and/or decanting into narrow necked bottles. Standard Aeroflow taps with a ¾” adaptor are also available, along with a large range of other taps, including some suitable for solvents. View the full range of taps and other dispensing products on our website, www.3swans.co.nz.
