Disclosed is a manual binding punch for scrap newspapers, cardboard, and similar recyclable sheet material for shearing a pair of holes through a stack of sheets whereby a plurality of stacks may be bound together with cotton cord to form a bundle. The manual binding punch comprises a punch apparatus having a fixed base portion with a die plate having a pair of spaced apart die apertures integrally formed thereon. A cantilevered lever arm has a pair of end punches for cooperative engagement with the die apertures, a return spring whereby the lever arm and end punches are urged away from the die plate, and a pressure plate whereby sheets being punched are held stationary during punching. The lever arm is pivotable between an open position wherein a stack of sheets may be positioned between the end punches and the die plate and a closed position wherein the pressure plates contact the stack to hold the sheets stationary while the end punches shear a pair of holes therethrough.

A containment and transfer device for use with highly active or sensitive compounds, comprising a sleeve or a bag with one or more flexible walls, a first sanitary clamp, an endcap, a second sanitary clamp and a compression clamp. The sleeve or bag has a first end for connection to a container, and a second end for (a) connection to a storage or mixing vessel at the discharge location, or (b) connection to an endcap for transportation. The flexible walls surround and define an internal passageway in that permits compounds in the first end of the sleeve or bag to pass into the second end of the sleeve or bag. The compression clamp compresses the flexible walls of the sleeve or bag together to produce a barrier across the internal passageway, preventing the highly active or sensitive compound from flowing into the second end of the sleeve or bag during packing, transporting and discharging the device.
