Trying to find resettable explosion hatch

Trying to find resettable explosion hatch

Trying to find resettable explosion hatch

(OP)
I'm trying to find a resettable explosion hatch for a hopper. At present a Fike hatch is used, but this is only once use only. Our system uses air to blow product to hopper when a large slug of product enters hopper the sudden air pressure blows hatch.
  does such a thing exist as normal sources have drawn a black. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

RE: Trying to find resettable explosion hatch

One place to look is www.protectoseal.com I don't know if they have specifically what you are looking for, but they would come close.

If they don't have it, google some of the product names you see there.

Try also Treloar - you may have to replace the pin on the hatch each time, depending on the pressure set point.
