Abstract: A fire-safe container includes a polymer polymeric IBC within a metal overpack. The metal overpack includes a manway surrounding a plurality of ports. Each port is on a projection form the polymeric IBC that extends into the manway through an aperture. A collar is disposed in each aperture between the projection of the polymeric IBC and the sides of the aperture such that the port is retained in the manway and preventing the port from contacting or collapsing through the aperture. The manway includes a burst disc to release pressure when there is pressure buildup. One of the ports can provide another burst disc to relieve pressure in the polymeric IBC. The polymeric IBC burst disc can release at a pressure that is greater than the pressure at which the manway burst disc releases.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises: a robotic arm and an end-of-arm attachment fixedly attached to the robotic arm, where the end-of-arm attachment comprises: a fixed portion of the end-of-arm attachment fixedly attached to the robotic arm which is adapted to receive exchangeable portions of the end-of-arm attachment; a first exchangeable portion of the end-of-arm attachment adapted to remove a cap from a container, retain the cap, and reinstall the cap on the container; and a second exchangeable portion of the end-of-arm attachment adapted to install a dispense head on the container and remove the dispense head from the container, where the dispense head is capable of dispensing a liquid-based material from the container. Methods of using the apparatus are provided.
