Leak sealing bags

Reliable sealing of large areas.

Every minute counts when hazardous liquids escape from tanks, pipes or drums. Vetter leak sealing bags are quick and easy to inflate using a foot pump. Thanks to even pressure distribution, the structures around the liquid discharge area are protected and the danger that the leak gets bigger is reduced. All leak sealing bags come with a heavy-duty acid protection cover. Thanks to a pre-fabricated belt slots, the cover does not need to be removed during use or storage. The protective cover has an extra belt pocket, so you always have the right tools ready to hand.
​
  • Sealing leaks in tanks
  • For containers with min. diameter of 50 cm (20 inch)
  • Sealing area up to 86 x 57 cm (34 x 22 inch)

Mini leak sealing bags

The small and quick leak-stoppers.

Vetter mini leak sealing bags are ideal for leaks in small containers with a diameter between 10 and 90 cm (4 and 35 inch). The mini leak sealing bags securely seal liquids and gases, are easy to attach and provide a quick solution in emergencies. The maximum working pressure of 1.5 bar (21.75 psi) is soon reached with just a few strokes of the foot pump - and the container is sealed. Quick and safe Velcro fasteners on the metal-free tension belts make light work of attaching the sealing bags - even in difficult positions.
​
  • ​Quickly attached with Velcro belt​
  • Delivered in practical case
  • Up to 1.4 bar (20.3 psi) counterpressure
  • For containers with diameters 10 – 90 cm (4 – 35 inch)

Leak sealing lance

The quick fix for sealing leaks.

When you're the first person on the rescue site, the Vetter leak sealing lance enables you to act quickly. With no assistance required, you can seal small leaks in storage tanks, tank trucks or wagons in seconds and from a safe distance. By using the wedge and cone bags at the tip of the leak sealing lance, you will effectively reduce the volume flow rate at cracks measuring 15 - 60 mm (0.6 - 2.3 inch) and holes measuring 30 - 90 mm (1.2 - 3.5 inch). Anti-slip profiles on the bags ensure a good grip. The device with its simple design provides an invaluable quick-fix which will buy you time to put further measures in place.
​
  • Ready to use in seconds
  • Only one person required for setup
  • For sealing cracks and holes
  • Ensures safe distance from leak

High-pressure leak sealing system

Intelligent hose system for complicated pipe leaks.

In close collaboration with Henkel KGaA, Dusseldorf, Vetter has developed an intelligent sealing hose system. Now you can effortlessly access even hard-to-reach leaks in narrow or unevenly shaped piping systems.

The flexible hoses fit perfectly even over complicated leaks, e.g. at T-pieces, pipe bends, connecting branches and welded seams. The hoses are inflated in seconds.
​
  • Innovation from Vetter
  • Sealing in difficult-to-access places
  • For leaks in pipes with diameter up to 20 cm (8 inch)

  • Also suitable for long-term use
  • For pipes between ½“ and 4“
  • Supplied in compact transport case

Sealing and controlled drainage


Picture

Leak drainage bags

Simple sealing and drainage of hazardous substances.

Reliably seal leaks and safely drain hazardous substances with the acid drain hose. Vetter leak drainage bags are the ideal solution when substances cannot be drained via the normal opening, or if this can only be done with considerable technical effort, e.g. in the case of high-up discharge openings on tanks or a pump failure. As Vetter leak drainage bags are tensioned with belts, they can be used on many kinds of surfaces. The bags are quick and easy to inflate using a foot pump. Only a few strokes of the pump are required to seal the leak.
​
  • Sealing and drainage
  • Sealing area of 50 x 30 cm (20 x 12 inch)
  • For containers with min. diameter of 50 cm (20 inch)
  • Up to 1 bar (14.5 psi) counterpressure

Picture

Vacuum leak drainage bag

Autonomous and ultra-speedy drainage of hazardous substances.

Let the power of the vacuum work for you. Vetter vacuum leak drainage bags seal leaks on clean, smooth and slightly curved surfaces in seconds. Without the need for tension belts! Avoiding time-consuming preparatory measures, they allow you to take immediate action in an emergency. The intelligent bag attaches itself to the liquid or gas leak area by creating negative pressure and utterly seals the leak. The round Vetter vacuum leak drainage bags are designed for optimum flow and they drain dangerous liquids safely and quickly.
​
  • Attaches itself quickly to surface
  • No attachment belts required
  • Drainage space with 20 cm (8 inch) diameter
  • For large containers and storage tanks

Flange drain bag

Perfect fit for safe drainage at flanges.

Problems with leaky pipe connections? Make the task of sealing difficult leaks on all types of flanges easier for your team. Flanges are critical pipe sections and conventional sealing bags will rarely be effective here. Vetter flange drain bags cover the flange and pipe, reliably stop the leakage of hazardous liquids and at the same time allow you to drain off the liquid in a controlled and safe manner. The bags come in three sizes to cover all customary pipelines and flanges. Gel plates are included for convenient smoothing out of minor irregularities and unevenness on the pipe's surface.

Place the bag around the flange and pipe, close the zip fastener along the entire length of the bag and inflate the sleeves. Immediately, everything is sealed and you can commence with controlled drainage of the liquid.
​
  • Completely covers the flange
  • For lots of pipe connections
  • For DN 50 (50 mm/1.9 inch) to DN 100 (100 mm/3.9 inch)
  • Sealing pressure of 1 bar (14.5 psi)
