www.riekepackaging.comThe Rieke DrumClosure SystemCAUTION: Prior to specifying your Rieke Packaging Systems products, alwaysdetermine if they are compatible with your materials and packaging environment.Factors such as temperature, pressure and chemical composition may impact yourrequirements. Failure to follow these instructions can create a hazardous condition.Innovators of the first mechanically inserted plug and flange assembly fordrums, Rieke Packaging Systems is now the world leader in closures forindustrial drums and open head containers. From the fundamentalVISEGRIP ® plug and flange to the custom designed LEVER-LOCring, Rieke Packaging Systems drum closures allow for easy, efficientapplication and reliable sealing.3

Closures for Standard 15-, 30- and 55-Gallon DrumsThe VISEGRIP II ® Plug, Flange andCap Seal Closure SystemFundamental to the Rieke drum closure line is the design of the VISEGRIP II—thestrongest, most dependable closure to seal a drum.The flange has a series of serrations that lock into the drum material upon insertion.When the plug is torqued into the flange, it seals at the most critical point—the flatsurface of the drum head—in effect tightening the plug and gasket in a vise-like grip.A cap seal can then be added for additional protection against tampering.4

VISEGRIP II ®Closures for Steel DrumsSteel Flanges - VISEGRIP II ®FlangesThe VISEGRIP steel flange features a unique design which permits it to become aninseparable part of the drum head. A key to the effectiveness of the VISEGRIP flange is aseries of serrations that lock it into the drum metal when inserted. The VISEGRIP II isdesigned with the drumstock having a circular emboss around the 2” flange for easyidentification. A radial seal of the drum stock to the plug gasket sets the VISEGRIP II apartfrom other closures.STANDARD VISEGRIP II FLANGES:Are constructed of a heavy-gauge steel.Feature NPS pipe threading.Yellow chromate finish, but are also available inunplated steel, or lined with commercial coatings.R-4 VISEGRIP IISize3/4" (20mm)R-5 VISEGRIPSize1-1/2" (38mm)Electro-zinc platedR-6 VISEGRIP IISize2” - (50mm)Has three holes for betterdrainability8

Closures for Plastic DrumsTAMPER-LOC® Closure SystemAs a closure system, the TAMPER-LOC incorporates a plug and an external, sonic-weldedtamper-evident ring with ratchets. Together, these components provide the most reliableprotection 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 anotherseries of ratchets in the drum opening, effectively preventing plug backoff. When the drum isopened for the first time, using a standard bung wrench, the external ring is broken andremoved from the plug.Designed for ease of inspection of proper torque before shipment, as well as immediateevidence of any tampering before opening. As an added feature, the ring can be coloredand/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 drumsfrom foreign matter prior to filling.

LEVER-LOC Lever Rings forIndustrial Open Head ContainersThe LEVER-LOC Closure SystemAs steadfast as it is easy to use, LEVER-LOC is becoming the ring closure of choice forcompanies that package in open-head containers. Successful in the most trying hydrostaticand drop tests, LEVER-LOC consistently meets UN and DOT Packaging Standards forregulated materials.When closed, the ring overlaps–eliminating gaps—to ensure itssealing power completely encirclesthe lid.For exceptional strength, each ringis the product of welded steelconstruction, and can begalvanized or coated with epoxypowder.The unique lever design is asdependable as a bolt ring, and yetmuch easier to apply and removeover 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.Introducing AutoGrip ® Lever RingsAUTOMATIC LOCKING IN ANEASY-TO-USE RING CLOSUREDescriptionRieke’s commitment to adding value forits customers led to the developmentof the patent-pending AutoGrip LeverRing. Built-in features eliminate manysteps involved in drum sealing, withoutcompromising the seal. The Autogripautomatically locks when closed andhas no need for an extra safety latch.32

www.riekepackaging.comLEVER-LOC Lever ModelsThe lever model you choose will depend on two primary application factors:NOTE:Packaged Contents—Just as the contents will determine howrobust the container needs to be, they will also determine thenecessary gauge or performance strength of the lever.Regulated materials requiring a more reliable drum willlikewise require a more reliable lever of a higher gauge andsteel thickness.Dimensions of Container—Larger levers are designed forlarger container diameters in order to apply the requiredpressure when closed. Other specifications, such as theradius and throw of the lever handle, vary with openings andlids to maintain the ease of applying and removing the ring.The current selection of lever models is extensive and diverse due largely to the factRieke Packaging Systems will often alter the design of an existing model to serve aunique customer need.
