Static electricity is a hidden danger and is often underestimated, either due to a lack of awareness of the risks it poses or because of neglect and/or complacency. For day-to-day manufacturing processes, Newson Gale’s Bond-Rite® static grounding systems are easy to install and the perfect solution for grounding and continuous monitoring where there isn’t a need for interlocking capability.

Magnetic Clamp
- Easy to install and operate
- Continuously monitors the connection to a verified earth at 10 Ohms or less.

To understand what can go wrong when these types of product transfers are not protected, our latest case study describes an incident where an operator opened a valve to draw toluene into a metal bucket that was not grounded. Unfortunately, electrostatic charge was able to accumulate on the bucket and resulted in a fire breaking out which very quickly got out of control.
