Application of Static Grounding System in Food & Beverage
The
handling and storage of flammable organic ingredients such as flour or sugar
and flammable products such as ethanol can generate dangerously high levels of
static electricity. Safety in the food and beverage industry also needs to be
taken seriously, and an effective way is to use certified Static Grounding System to reduce the risk of fire and explosion.

1. Grounding Assemblies
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, certification:
2. Self-testing Grounding Clamp with Visible
& Audible Alarms
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.
3.Static
Grounding Monitoring Systems
The ATEX approved "Static Grounding Reels" have a
selfretracting cable drum and an instant locking mechanism to prevent the
cable from becoming tangled.
The standard S-RL model includes a 7m (23ft.) polyurethane jacketed
stainless steel cable. An ATEX approved, heavy duty grounding clamp (with
replaceable stainless steel tips) is connected to the cable for a solid
connection to the grounding surface. S-RL Reels are also available with 15m
(49ft.) and 20m (65ft.) cable lengths.
