Application of Static Grounding Products on Fixed Powder Processing Equipment
In pharmaceutical operations, equipment such as powder delivery systems, micronizers, mixers, and sieves constitute multiple components that can accumulate large amounts of electrostatic charge if any are isolated from true earth. In the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, where periodic disassembly for cleaning and maintenance is required, loss or incorrect connections can result when equipment is reassembled, as well as degradation of assembly connections. All of this is isolated from true earth, and static charges build up to excessively high voltage potentials.
Static Grounding Reels
The ATEX approved "Static Grounding Reels" have a selfretracting cable drum and an instant locking mechanism to prevent the cable from becoming tangled.
Self-testing Grounding Clamp
The
accumulation of static charges during the fueling transfer process can lead to
costly explosions, fire and personnel injury. The ‘Self-testing Grounding Clamp’
with visible & audible alarms is designed to dissipate static accumulation
and verify proper grounding. It is intrinsically safe for use in hazardous
locations.
Grounding Assembly
In order to dissipate the
electrostatic charge from various equipment, we offer a wide range of static
grounding clamps with cables, which are all ATEX approved.
