Static grounding systems like the Bond-Rite® and Earth-Rite® range combine interlock control and visual indication to verified ground connection points and offer the highest levels of protection over electrostatic ignition risks.

Newson Gales’ approved surface mount grounding connector offers a positive contact with the equipment to be grounded. With this assembly operators tasked with earthing mobile process equipment will have a dedicated earthing point to attach the easy to use screw thread connector.

The ‘plug and play’ connector can interface with all Newson Gale dual core systems to provide earth monitoring capability on a wide range of mobile processes and equipment where generic earthing clamps cannot be used.

The conical shape design aids in the reduction of powder deposit build up over time and aids in clean down operations.

The static grounding connector is IECEx and UKCA approved and certified to ensure it is capable of dissipating static charges from potentially charged equipment.

Assembly operators tasked with earthing mobile equipment can install the surface mount connector to ensure a positive contact with the process equipment to be grounded.

Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials in use in industry today and when used in combination with a well designed clamp spring, has the capability to continuously bite through coatings, rust or product deposits that a basic alligator clip or welding clamp would struggle with. Sharpened tungsten carbide teeth are a standard feature of Newson Gale’s heavy duty clamps.
