Loading unloading - Import export

The danger of electrostatic charges must always be observed when loading, unloading or handling bulk solids or inflammable liquids in the petrochemical, chemical, gas, as well as in the food and feed industry. For application with containers, IBCs, barrels or trays, the EKX-4 (2-pole) is the Grounding Control Device to choose. APPLICATION AREAS: EKX-4 (2-pole) is mounted stationary, close to the loading/unloading gantry. It is used in gas and dust hazardous areas of zone 1 and 21 for objects to be grounded, that cannot be detected by the standard 1-pole Grounding Control Device EKX-4 such as containers, IBCs or barrels. Further areas of application are the grounding of materials handled with trays on conveyors in automated industrial processes.

- For use during loading and unloading of tank trucks, silo trucks and rail tank cars - Controlled derivation of the static electricity - Use in gas and dust hazardous areas of zone 1 (equipment category II 2 G) and 21 (II 2 D) - Immediate interruption of the loading operation when unsafe grounding connection consists - EAC Ex approval according to the currently relevant TR-CU 012/2011 regulation
