Line blinds have been used in pipelines where complete shut-off or full flow without a pressure drop is required.
Generally, blinding (or blanking) a line is a costly, labor intensive process requiring several personnel, heavy tools and machinery.
In addition to the typical methods of blinding a line,
the lengthy process exposed operators to various hazards including inhalation of potentially toxic fumes, spills and the risk of explosion.
The SAMMI Lind Blind incorporates a simple and durable design that has been developed to provide absolute shut-off, long life and cost-efficient service with minimum maintenance.
The unique opening-closing mechanism of the SAMMI Lind Blind allows one person to blind pipelines quickly and safely without any tools or equipment.
