Abstract
There is disclosed a system for dispensing granular material, comprising: a nozzle attached to a granular filler configured to couple with a trefoil filling port attached to a can for hot isostatic pressing, wherein the nozzle opens and closes via a rotary actuation. In an embodiment, the system comprises a single fill port design, such as one having a concentric, tube-in-tube design. There is also disclosed a method of filling a container with a granular material, by connecting a filling nozzle to a filling port, opening/closing the filling nozzle, attaching the filling nozzle to the filling port, aligning at least one opening of the filling nozzle with an opening in the filling port; and dispensing granular material into the container.
