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 TRBS 2153 and Cenelec CLC/TR: 50404.

The FIBC system can be setup to ensure that operators ground the bag before 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 1 x 10^8 ohms the process can be halted.

Resistance monitoring system combined with machine interlocking output contacts (x2), ensures operators correctly clamp and ground the bag before filling or emptying can commence.

Continuously monitors the resistance of the bag while the process is underway, ensuring static charges have a safe static dissipative path to the plant earth ground.

Grounding monitoring unit with Red/Green LED Indicator.
Special ATEX/FM approved FIBC monitoring clamp and retractable Hytrel cable.
