CONDUCTIVE LINERS & BULKHEAD SYSTEMS
We have exclusive access to a number of bespoke liners developed for food and sugar applications. We have developed a new conductive liner to mitigate potential for explosions with the carriage of dry food materials such as sugar, flour or starch. The need for conductive liners arose from the requirement to carry powders that could ignite inside the container and cause a dust explosion. Ordinary polyethylene film liners are like virtually all polymers, very electrically insulating and prone to generation of high electrostatic charge accumulation and risk of incendiary spark.
Making liners out of a non insulating film ("conductive") and providing an adequate electrical earth mitigates likelihood of electrostatic discharges (ESD) from occurring. The inherently conducting polymers in addition to providing a permanent and reliable dissipation of electrical charge also possess the following attributes:
No matter the filling and discharging systems you have in place, we can provide a solution to suit your needs. Our liners are manufactured from blown polyethylene or woven polypropylene. Liners are used for a wide and constantly growing range of granular and powder products, as well as bulk liquids, as a highly cost effective and time saving alternative to sacks and bags.

The inherently conducting polymers in addition to providing a permanent and reliable dissipation of electrical charge also possess the following attributes:
- Ideal for contact with sugar
- Translucent and therefore safer to fit into containers and also giving loading and discharge more visual indicators
- Stronger polymeric structure = lighter and less manual handling issues

POPULAR CONFIGURATIONS:
Blown Polyethylene or Woven Polypropylene container liners can be supported with steel bars. Fabric bulkheads can be independent or have fully integrated fabric fronts supported by steel bars. Airbags are available for discharge.
Filling and discharging sleeves can be located off-center, enabling one door to remain closed for additional support. Full width triangular discharge eliminates the need for corner boards. Containers with topfill and "letter box" discharge hatches do not require bulkheads as the doors remain closed. |
