Conductive FIBC’s

Description

Smartlift offers Conductive FIBCs designed for safe handling and transportation of flammable powders and materials in explosive environments. These high-performance bulk bags prevent static build-up, ensuring maximum safety in hazardous conditions. Ideal for industries requiring stringent safety measures, our conductive FIBCs are compliant with international safety standards.

There are four types of FIBC’s:

Type A: Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers made from non-conductive materials without any measures taken against electrostatic charging. a Type A FIBC must not be used to handle combustible dusts.
Type B: Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers made from non-conductive materials having a breakdown voltage not exceeding 6 kV. This reliably prevents the ignition of explosive dust atmospheres while explosive gas atmospheres can still be ignited. Similar to Type A, the Type B has no interwoven conductive materials.
Type C: Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers normally made of non-conductive fabric with interwoven conductive threads. The conductive threads must be interconnected with less than 107 ohm and must be grounded during filling and emptying operations.
Type D: Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers made from non-conductive materials containing an arrangement of conductive fibres which have no electrical contact to each other. These FIBCs are not conductive but enable a certain charge dissipation into the environment via corona-effect. Grounding of a Type D FIBC is not possible.

What are conductive (Type C) FIBCs used for?
Conductive FIBCs are used for handling flammable powders in environments where static electricity poses a risk.

How do conductive bulk bags prevent static electricity build-up?
They use conductive threads that dissipate static electricity safely when properly grounded.

When should Type C bulk bags be used instead of Type A or B?
Type C bags are required when flammable materials are handled in hazardous atmospheres.

Are conductive FIBCs suitable for explosive or flammable environments?
Yes, when correctly grounded, they are designed for explosive risk environments.

What grounding requirements are needed when using conductive bulk bags?
Type C FIBCs must be properly grounded during filling and emptying.
