APEX Flat Covers Design and Applications
- INNOVATIVE DESIGN: The innovative flat cover handle design allows for custom placement and orientation in the hinged access lids. This allows the handles to be placed extremely close to the edge of the access lids which improves the function of lifting and minimizes safety concerns.
- PANELS: An APEX Flat Cover panel utilizes highly efficient structural elements within the panel allowing for longer and wider panels while staying under the specified weight limit. Our longer, wider, and lighter weight panels are designed to allow for the addition of a hinged access lid into any panel. This greatly increases the flexibility of the cover system to allow access to most product zone areas under the cover. Hinged access lids can be designed to be up to 70” wide. In comparison, other flat cover systems have a 27” opening width limit.
- EPDM SOLID GASKETS: EPDM provides excellent compatibility and resistance to H2S, a typical wastewater by-product. A solid gasket avoids compression set which is a common problem with sponge gaskets. The solid gasket also avoids the complexity of a bulb gasket maintaining its correct shape. The panels are gasketed on all sides increasing the air and water tightness of the cover system.
- TOP MOUNT AND LOW PROFILE OPTIONS: APEX Flat Covers are available for in top mount and low profile options for rectangular and circular foundations.
