Description
The Earth-Rite® FIBC system validates and monitors the resistance of Type C FIBC bags ensuring that the conductive elements of the bag are capable of dissipating electrostatic charges in compliance with IEC 61340-4-4 “Standard test methods for specific applications – Electrostatic classification of flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC)” and NFPA 77 “Recommended Practice on Static Electricity”.
The Earth-Rite FIBC system can be installed and setup to ensure that operators ground the bag before filling or emptying operations are started. During the bag filling / emptying process the Earth-Rite FIBC system continuously monitors the resistance of the bag so that if it rises above the recommended level of ohms (10 meg-ohm) this dangerous situation can be indicated to operators and the process halted, either manually or via the system’s pair of NO/NC volt free contacts. This feature ensures the generation and accumulation of static charges on the bag is stopped eliminating the risk of an electrostatic spark discharge.
Note: Several configurations available! Please call for more information.
