SYMEGA.PRO
One device for all applications
The connection between the clamp and the object is permanently monitored. If a fault occurs or if the clamp’s connection becomes disconnected, then the grounding relay will generate a corresponding signal and the filling process will be stopped.
System
Application
The SYMEGA.PRO was developed for grounding when filling or emptying mobile containers such as tank trucks, IBCs, FIBCs, drums and etc. Grounding systems from the SYMEGA series are used in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, oil and gas as well as wood industries.
Mechanism
Electrostatic charges can build up as a result of the friction when flammable liquids, gases or solids are being loaded. The resulting electrostatic discharges (sparks) can be a risky ignition source for explosive atmospheres under the appropriate conditions. The SYMEGA.PRO continuously dissipates the electrostatic potentials to prevent these discharges. The grounding clamp is connected up to the object that has to be grounded (truck, drum, IBC, BigBags, etc.). If the SYMEGA.PRO detects the truck, the pumps, valves or mechanical conveyors connected to the grounding relay are activated for the filling process.
