Conductive Type C Jumbo Bag

Groundable FIBC for a controlled filling station

The problem it prevents

Type C or Type D? Getting that answer wrong is a safety gap, not a purchase error.

Type C bags only work if they are grounded. Where a reliable grounding connection cannot be guaranteed at every point in your process, a Type D bag is the safer choice.

If you already know you need static control, the real question is which type suits your site. We will answer that honestly, including telling you when Type C is the wrong choice.

What it is

A Type C, or groundable, FIBC is woven with conductive threads running through the fabric and joined to each other. When the bag is properly connected to earth during filling and discharge, the static charge created by the flow of product is carried away safely.

Key features

  • Conductive threads joined together throughout the fabric
  • Safe handling of flammable powders and combustible dusts
  • Suitable for flammable vapour and dust atmospheres when grounded
  • Grounding tab clearly marked

Specification

Materials
Woven polypropylene with a conductive thread grid.
Sizes
Made to your safe working load and fill volume.
Applications
Flammable powders, combustible dusts, and chemicals handled where solvent vapour or dust is present.
Where it is used
Chemical and pharmaceutical plants with a fixed, well-managed filling station where the earthing procedure is followed every time.

How we build it

We advise on the choice rather than pushing whichever bag we would rather sell. Where a process cannot guarantee grounding at every transfer, we recommend Type D even though it changes the order. That advice is why customers come back to us.

Built to your specification

Every one of these can be changed for your application, and a sample is supplied for trial fitment before bulk production.
