Grounding

Controlled grounding for maximum safety when handling highly inflammable and potentially explosive materials

Do I have to use a cable rewinder?
No, the use of a cable rewinder is not absolutely necessary. But it is often found that the cable and the ground contactor are not rolled back up after use and are run over by trucks, resulting in damage to the cable and the ground contactors.
What happens if the ground link is disrupted during the process?
If the ground link is disrupted, the process is instantly discontinued via the floating contact of the grounding system. The process can be restarted only after the ground link has been reestablished.
What advantages and benefits does a ground monitoring system offer the user?
Ground monitoring systems make sure that existing ground contactors (e. g. ground clamps) are actually used when filling or discharging potentially explosive materials from tanker wagons and silos. Since filling or discharging can only be started after the proper ground link has been identified, this system provides maximum safety.
