摘要

A fluid receiver being a tank or container (2) comprising a body with a plurality of compartments therein, the compartments (13) being separated from each other by inner walls (11) in the form of baffles or bulkheads. A one-wa check valve (1) is positioned at an inlet port (3) with a lip (5). The valve has valve body having a neck (8), a sealing plate (6), and a biasing means (7) for spring loading the plate (6). The plate (6) is movably attached to the lip and the biasing means presses the sealing plate against the lip to form a closed position and the plate is able to separate from the lip to form an open position in which fluid - liquid, gas, freely moving particulate such as flour, can enter the receiver. The valve can have at least one fluid level control plug for controlling the amount of fluid that can enter.
