Conductive Big Bags

During the filling and emptying process of certain products, friction of the filled material can lead to electrostatic charges on the surface of big bags.

This can cause an explosion when filling or unloading if the big bags are not grounded. To prevent this, type C conductive big bags must be used for the safety of people and equipment in the vicinity of the filling or unloading area.

These Big Bags (FIBCs) comply with the IEC 61340-4-4 standard. The grounding resistance must be less than 108 ohms. In addition, the breakdown voltage must be less than 6 kV.

Grounding is necessary for these big bags to prevent sparks, especially in combustible atmospheric zones.
