Static Earthing for Pharma Applications

New VESF Series stainless steel Quick Connectors are the latest addition to the Cenelectrex range of static earthing equipment specifically designed to meet the demanding standards of cleanliness and corrosion resistance within hazardous area operations in the pharmaceutical industry.

The VESF Series stainless 2 pole plug and socket connectors allow easy, positive and secure connections to be made to removable plant items that need to be earthed and monitored during operations. They are ideal for use with plant items that need to have a temporary or semi-permanent connection to earth, such as mobile vessels, product bowls, pump carts and other removable plant sections.

The distinctive three pin configuration of the unit ensures that they cannot be confused with or connected to plant electrical circuits, and the matching male/female connection means the static earth can only be applied to the intended plant item. Using screw terminals, no hot working is required for initial installation or maintenance. Both plug and socket come with covers to ensure that when not in use they can be sealed off to prevent liquid, dirt or product ingress.

Designed to compliment the extensive range of stainless accessories that make up the Cenelectrex Earth-Rite Multipoint range of monitoring units, the stainless connectors have been assessed by a notified body as suitable for connection to Intrinsically Safe monitoring circuits, in compliance with the ATEX directive.

Other stainless accessories recently added to the range include an indicator LED light which can be mounted in the hazardous area to give local notification of a positive earth connection. These new items compliment the range of stainless junction boxes and clamps, which make for a comprehensive range to suit the needs of the pharmaceutical industry.

The new Stainless Steel Quick Connectors are ideal for use with the Earth-Rite Mulitpoint, which is specially designed to monitor earth connection and bonds on mills, spray dryers, filters, mixing and similar items such as associated conveying lines where static build up in combustible or flammable areas may lead to catastrophic fires or explosions.
