Newson Gale has installed a static charge indicator at one of Esschem Europe's facilities.

Esschem, based in County Durham, UK, manufactures a range of chemical products serving markets such as dental, cosmetic and medical. Its finished products include UV curable gels, sanitisers, polish removers and primers.

As an integral part of the production process Esschem have to pump and mix potentially flammable materials, and during these processes static charge will be generated which has to be safely dissipated to earth.

Bill Troupe, Health and Safety Officer for Esschem Europe, asked Newson Gale to provide a system that would give an indication that the earth connection had been made.

Newson Gale's solution, due to the length of each production run (8-10 hours), was the installation of the Bond-Rite Remote, a self-testing static grounding clamp that provides enhanced safety and security by continuously testing the connection of the clamp to the container. A flashing green LED that can be seen from as far away as 50 yards indicates a low resistance connection has been made and maintained.
