The use of (earthed) conductive containers is highly
recommended to avoid ignition during powder handling
caused by electrical discharge. Raw materials with high
conductivity like stainless steel or metal are often an effective
solution but also expensive and heavy. CurTec has developed a
safe, secure and cost-effective alternative: plastic conductive
drums
Conductive drums eliminate the risk of ignition through
electrical discharge and can prevent the terrible effects of dust
explosions to people, property and the environment: (fatal)
injuries, cost of repair and rebuild, damage claims and raised
insurance premiums. But also the damage to your company’s
image and brand. Apart from increasing the safety of your
entire production facility, they will also raise your customer’s
sense of security
Additional Benefits
Apart from avoiding direct consequences there are other
benefits in using plastic conductive drums:
• The screw lid with rubber gasket protects against
moisture ingress and prevents product loss
• They are light-weight which helps lowering transport costs
and makes them easier to handle
• Their UN-X certification makes them impact-resistant
• The screw lid closure and handgrips make them easy to
handle
• They cannot dent, rust or oxidize which helps avoid
contamination
• Tamper Evident
