EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
In the handling of Big-Bags there are basically three risk scenarios due to the generation of electrostatic charge: The loading, unloading and finally the friction of the Big-Bags with others or by operators. Once the electrostatic charge has generated, this can accumulate and may cause the ignition of an explosive atmosphere.
The EU directive 1999/92/EC known as ATEX 137 establishes the necessary measures to ensure their safety, forcing the employer to, among other things, prevent the ignition of explosive atmospheres.
Our special Big-Bags for explosive atmospheres enable to control, based on the type of explosive atmosphere, the generation of electric discharge and thus avoid the ignition of such atmospheres.
