Avoidance of electrostatic charges

Common causes for electrostatic charge:
•    Spreading of the electrostatic charge by staff
•    Spreading of the electrostatic charge by filling portable bins
•    Insufficient grounding of conducting (metallic) parts
•    Spraying of liquids (Lenard effect)
•    Induction

Whilst handling flammable substances electrostatics pose a high danger! To avoid this threat, the relevant guidelines (TRbF, BGR) demand the following:Portable bins in Ex-areas have to be grounded during filling / emptying process. KERSTING GMBH SAMPLING + GROIUNDING offers you the corresponding suitable products.

Why electrostatic grounding?

Unfortunately, although there are many good explosion prevention / explosion protection systems available, there are still far too many accidents, especially in cereal mills:
