Zusammenfassung:A closed granular chemical handling system has a dispensing valve (30) and a receiving valve (24). The dispensing valve (30) and the receiving valve (24) are automatically opened when the valves are coupled together, and are automatically closed when they are uncoupled from one another. The valves (30, 24) are configured so that the receiving valve (24) always is the first to open and the last to close. They are driven together by a camming structure (54, 58) having a neutral portion (82) that acts as a delay between the opening and closing of both valves (30, 24) so as to allow granular material to flow from between the valves (30, 24) through the receiving valve (24).
