Fixed Powder Processing Equipment

In pharmaceutical operations, equipment such as powder conveying systems, micronizers, blenders and sieve stacks all make up multiple component assemblies that can accumulate high levels of electrostatic charge should any of the components be isolated from a true earth. In the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries where regular disassembly for cleaning and maintenance is required, can result in bonding connections being missed or not made correct when the equipment is reassembled, as well as degradation of assembly connections.  All of this creates isolation from true earth ground, and electrostatic charges are allowed to accumulate to excessively high voltage potential.
