Product catalog summary
Introduction to Grounding: The document discusses the importance of controlled electrostatic grounding to ensure safety during processes involving potentially explosive materials. Uncontrolled electrostatic discharges can lead to deflagrations or fires, and grounding systems help prevent these by monitoring connections for potential equalization and ensuring proper contact of ground clamps.
Electrostatic Charges in Handling: Electrostatic charges can accumulate during the handling of liquids, granulates, and powders. This can occur during processes such as decanting, emptying, pumping, mixing, spraying, measuring, sampling, and cleaning. The charge level is influenced by factors like working methods, properties and flow rates of materials, and the size and material of containers.
Applications of Grounding: Grounding is crucial in various applications to prevent property damage and secondary accidents. Key applications include loading and unloading tanker trucks, explosion protection in production, securing big bags, filling and emptying containers, and ensuring process safety in the pharmaceutical industry.
Grounding Systems: The document mentions several grounding systems such as TERRACOMPACT II, TERRABOX, TERRAPHARM, TERRACAP, and TERRALIGHT. These systems provide systematic ground monitoring for both safe and hazardous areas, utilizing active and passive ground clamps and rewinding cable reels.

For more safety Electrostatic charges when handling liquids, granulates and powders When liquids, granulates and powders are processed, the containers or the substances themselves can take on a dangerous charge. This includes processes such as decanting, emptying, pumping between containers, mixing, spraying, measuring, sampling, and cleaning. The amount of the charge depends on multiple factors: the working method, properties and flow rate of the processed media, and the size, geometry and material of the containers. Uncontrolled discharge is a danger that is not to be underestimated! When filling...
