Static grounding bigbags FIBC type C
The movement of product during filling or emptying of FIBC bags can generate a large amount of electrostatic charge. The FIBC “Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container” causes an electrostatic charge of equal intensity, on the inner surface, but with an opposite polarity on the outer surface. This accumulated electrostatic charge always seeks a conductive path to ground. The quantity of the electrostatic charge depends on the characteristics of the product, filling or emptying rate. In
Europe, guidance for safe use of FIBCs in regards to hazardous zones/locations is defined in IEC TS 61340-4-4.
