FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE EKX-FIBC is mounted stationary at filling and unloading stations for bulk materials. It safely dissipates the static charge during the filling process via two special grounding clamps directly connected to the FIBC (unique 2-clamp measuring principle). Permanent monitoring ensures that the maximum resistance values in the discharge connection are not exceeded. Filling release is only provided if a FIBC is connected and grounded properly. In case of safety risks, the device interrupts the filling process immediately via the control outputs. The EKX-FIBC also signals the unsafe condition by a LED that can be seen from afar . In industrial filling processes, flexible bulk containers (FIBC) are frequently used. Typically, in these processes particulate materials are handled which can cause hazardous atmospheres. Electrostatic charges must be dissipated safely to prevent explosions from energy discharges. For this application, TIMM is developing the new Grounding Control Device EKX-FIBC.
