Earth-Rite FIBC

The Earth-Rite® FIBC system verifies and monitors the resistance of Type C FIBC bags, ensuring the conductive elements can dissipate electrostatic charges in compliance with IEC 61340-4-4 and NFPA 77 standards.

The system can be installed to ensure operators ground the bag before starting filling or emptying operations. During these processes, the Earth-Rite FIBC continuously monitors the bag’s resistance. If resistance exceeds the recommended 10 meg-ohms, the system alerts operators and halts the process via its NO/NC volt-free contacts. This feature prevents static charge accumulation, eliminating the risk of electrostatic spark discharge.

Note: Multiple configurations are available. Please contact us for more details.

FEATURES

  • Attention Grabbing LEDs: Three green LEDs continuously pulse informing operators that the FIBC bag to be protected from static discharges is correctly grounded – When the system is not in use, or when it detects the resistance in the static dissipative loop is higher than 1 x 10⁷ or 1 x 10⁸ Ohms a red LED illuminates the indicator panel located in the static dissipative GRP indicator station
  • Continuous Ground Loop Monitoring: Monitors the resistance of the static dissipative loop through the FIBC bag back to the Earth-Rite FIBC via the plant earth grounding point – If the system detects that resistance in the loop is higher than 1 x 10⁷ohms, it engages a pair of output contacts
  • Two Volt Free Output Contacts: The primary contact can interlock with electro-mechanical devices or PLC systems to shutdown the flow of product – The secondary contact can interface with attention grabbing audible alarms or strobe lights to provide an extra degree of safety over the hazard
  • Easy Installation: Simple to mount enclosures complemented by straightforward cabling and PCB system wiring – Flexible hazardous area enclosure location options with separate IS monitoring / indicator and Power supply PCBs. Power supply PCB can run off both 240 V and 110 V mains / line supply and 24 V / 12 V DC voltage supply
