- closure 20 includes a sealable device.
- sealable devices that are suited for use in closure 20 include, but are not limited to, zippers, snaps, buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, and frictional-fit type fasteners (e.g., ZIPLOC® fasteners), among others. These may be installed monolithically with rake-access inlet 16 , as illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- rake-access inlet closures in accordance with the present disclosure may be located remote from rake-access inlet 16 .
- Such remote-type sealable devices may include flaps and/or other pieces of material that can be positioned and secured to reduce the accessible area of rake-access inlet 16 by at least about 50%.
- a closure may be removably secured to the bag so as to permit it to be detached from the bag in order to expose all of, or a portion of rake-access inlet 16 .

bags - An FIBC unit typically includes a single access that permits the unit to be filled with waste material. Often this access point is positioned in a manner that causes material to accumulate in the unit in a way that does not fill the entire volume of the unit effectively. Waste materials stored and transported in FIBC units include granular materials formed as by-products of industrial processes. FIBC units capture dust, debris, and other waste material formed during industrial and manufacturing processes, e.g., casting of metals and milling and machining of wood, steel, ceramics, and other refractory materials
- In illustrative embodiments, rake-
access inlet 16, when opened, permits a technician, e.g., a mill worker, to insert adust rake 26 such as a rake, hoe, or other leveling device intointerior region 14 ofbag waste dust 14 is flowing intointerior region 14. The technician may smooth, level, flatten, and otherwise arrangewaste dust 24 ininterior region 14 to use fully the capacity ofbag - In illustrative embodiments, rake-
access inlet 16 has a cross-sectional area that is sized to receiverake head 261 ofdust rake 26 therein. Such area may be round-, oblong-, square-, or rectangle-shaped. - In illustrative embodiments,
closure interior region 14 via rake-access inlet 16. This, in turn, restricts flow ofwaste dust 24 that may be emitted frominterior region 14 wheninterior region 14 is filled withwaste dust 24. - In an illustrative embodiment, rake-
access inlet closure 20 is configured to reduce the accessible portion of area of rake-access inlet 16 by at least about 50% when in its closed position. The closed position is the position where the least amount of material would be able to be emitted fromcontainer 100. Illustratively, but not necessarily,closure 20 includes a sealable device. Examples of sealable devices that are suited for use inclosure 20 include, but are not limited to, zippers, snaps, buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, and frictional-fit type fasteners (e.g., ZIPLOC® fasteners), among others. These may be installed monolithically with rake-access inlet 16, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . In other illustrative embodiments, however, rake-access inlet closures in accordance with the present disclosure may be located remote from rake-access inlet 16. Such remote-type sealable devices may include flaps and/or other pieces of material that can be positioned and secured to reduce the accessible area of rake-access inlet 16 by at least about 50%. In still other embodiments a closure may be removably secured to the bag so as to permit it to be detached from the bag in order to expose all of, or a portion of rake-access inlet 16. These types of devices could then be secured to a bag with some type of fastener (e.g., snaps, buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners) in order to reduce the exposed portion of rake-access inlet 16 and restrict the number of particles emitted from the bag.
