ER FIBC II - Active grounding system for type C container
"ADF-Systèmes offers you the "ER FIBC II" system, specially designed for the grounding of flexible containers (type C) in the ATEX zone during your powder filling operations. Cenelec recommendation CLC/TR: 50404 states that ""Conductive fabric and conductive wires (including handles) must have a ground point resistance of less than 1 x 108 Ohms"", in order to avoid spark discharge. Type C FIBC must be properly earthed during filling or emptying operations."" (§7.2.6.8.3) The "ER FIBC II" system continuously monitors the earthing and proper dissipation of electrostatic charges of type C FIBCs Two checks are carried out: - Continuous verification of the connection of the “ER FIBC II” to the site earth - Continuous verification of the “FIBC – Clamp – Reference earth” loop This loop must be less than 1 x 108 Ohms. At the forefront of innovation, this equipment offers the best assurance of a secure connection: The "ER FIBC II" system has 2 dry contacts to enable the enslavement of electrical controls in order to prevent transfer operations as long as the flexible container is not properly grounded. Electrostatic risks during your loading/unloading operations are completely controlled. In addition to the interlock, green and red LEDs provide the operator with visual feedback of ground control status. Robust equipment for long-term use: The connection is made using an X45F stainless steel clamp specific to type C FIBCs. The powerful spring and the shape of the clamp guarantee safe contact with the container . In order to best serve operators, the "ER FIBC II" is available with a 5 meter blue CenStat spiral cable. Designed for frequent handling, corrosive and chemical atmospheres, this cable will give you satisfaction in the most aggressive environments.
