BULK HANDLING

4 Loop Fibcs - Corona Bigbag

Type D big bags have become more familiar to the groundable bag users, as a challenging alternative for Type C bags.

The usage of Type D big bags are much more practical than the groundable bags and they avoid operator errors. The special construction of the Type D fabric eliminates the need of an earth connection during the filling and discharging of materials.

Crohmiq® has been first true Type D fabric to appear in the market place since the early 1990’s. The fabric was developed to cover a growing need for an ungrounded static protective solution for bulk packaging.

Today, due to its reputable safety record, over 500 leading companies worldwide prefer FIBCs manufactured from Crohmiq® fabric for their static bulk bag packaging requirements.

Crohmiq® is currently the only Type D fabric in the market which complies with the IEC standards.

Koçman Packaging is proud to become the first manufacturer awarded a licence to produce the patented Crohmiq® fabric from Texente LLC.

Why Type D?

• Unlike Type C FIBC's, Type D FIBC's do not require grounding.
• Can be used for the transportation of flammable powders, or when flammable solvents or gases are present around the FIBC..
• It provides safety equal to a grounded Type C FIBC without the human error risk factor.
• Type D fabric permits the dissipation of the charges in to the atmosphere by corona discharge.
• A corona discharge is one form of an electrostatic discharge with a low energy, unlike sparks or brush discharges, it does not give way to ignition of flammable or explosive atmospheres.

Why Crohmiq?

• Only CROHMIQ® 's patented technology provides a level of safety equal to a properly grounded Type C FIBC, but without the risks of human error. For these reasons, leading global companies continue to switch from Type C FIBC to the optimum safety of CROHMIQ® FIBC.
• CROHMIQ® 's properties are permanent, therefore, its static dissipative performance does not decay with time nor wash off during wet reconditioning processes as many pseudo Type D FIBC's do.
• CROHMIQ® fabric is FDA compliant.
• Internationally recognised as the leading Type D static protective FIBC fabric.
• It is the only Type D fabric that will comply to the IEC61340 - 4 - 4 : 2005 standards.

Warnings

• If the surface of the Type D FIBC is contaminated or coated by any conductive material (such as water, oil etc) then spark discharges may occur.

Therefore

• Precautions should be taken in order to prevent the surface contamination.
• No conductive object (such as metal items and tools) should be placed on the FIBC.
• All conductors in the presence of flammable or explosive atmospheres should be grounded.
