During powder processing, static electricity generation is almost inevitable. Most powders are not good conductors, so static electricity easily accumulates on the powder itself, processing equipment, isolated metal parts, and other surfaces within the plant. The charges generated are usually not dangerous unless allowed to accumulate. Once it accumulates to a certain level, it can produce spark discharges, igniting any flammable gases or dust in the environment, potentially causing catastrophic consequences

Client of a pharmaceutical company:

When the flammable powder packaging section flows into the packaging bag and comes into contact with the aluminum lining, spark discharge occurs, leading to fire and combustion

Rectification Measures:

This should be replaced with an anti-static flexible connection

Install current limiters to control the flow velocity

Electrostatic neutralization
