The Earth-Rite FIBC system monitors the resistance of Type C FIBC bags ensuring that the conductive elements of the bag are capable of dissipating static charges in compliance with Cenelec CLC/TR: 50404. It is important to ensure the bag maintains its capacity to dissipate charge and also ensure the earth connection between the bag and known earthing point is functioning correctly. During the filling / emptying process the FIBC system continuously monitors the resistance of the bag so that if it rises above recommended levels the process can be halted. This feature ensures the generation and accumulation of static charges on the bag is stopped eliminating the risk of an incendive electrostatic spark discharge. Benefits:
- Resistance monitoring system, combined with machine interlocking output contact, ensures operators earth the bag before filling or discharging is permitted.
- While the process is underway the system continuously monitors the resistance of the bag ensuring static charges have a safe static dissipative path to earth.
- Red and Green indicators tell operators if a good earth connection is made.
