Static Control - Our products

Newson-Gale are leading manufacturers of static control products, serving a wide range of industries, from chemical and petrochemical to pharmaceutical. Static hazards can occur on a daily basis in any industrial operation worldwide.

Our static control solutions can be safely utilized in the following industries: chemical and petrochemical manufacturing and distribution, pharmaceutical and clean room processes, paints, coating and solvents manufacturing and distribution and food and beverage production and distribution.

As illustrated in the image below, our static control products are divided into three flexible product categories that are specified for customers depending on the level of static control required:

- Cen Stat 
- Bond Rite
- Earth Rite 

 

Cen-Stat provide entry-level static control and are ideal for hazardous area operators who need to rely on small clips or grounding clamps. Cen-Stat products are single circuit applications which require high strength mechanical circuits to dissipate the electrostatic charge from various equipment.

Newson Gale’s range of Cen-Stat products are pole clamps, grounding clamps, cables, reels and various types of testing equipment which are all ATEX & FM approved. 

Bond-Rite products are self testing grounding clamps with green flashing LEDs which confirm positive connection to equipment. These grounding clamps offer a higher level of static control and are perfect for applications where no control switches or PLCs are available for output contacts. Newson Gale’s Bond-Rite products offer a high level of safety when working with applications which have the potential to create static electricity hazards.

Earth-Rite products offer maximized level of static control because they are ground monitoring systems with interlocking control for manufacturing processes which can generate static hazards. Earth Rite products are suitable for flammable or combustible environments where there is a real danger of conductive plant equipment or materials which can be charged with static electricity. 

Depending on the country specification, our static control grounding clamps and all Newson Gale equipment carries ATEX, FM, IECEx and CSA hazardous area approvals and are fully compliant with internationally recognised Best Practice standards for controlling static electricity.  Functional safety is also assured to SIL2 Safety Integrity Level.
