Dry powdered material passing through chutes or pneumatic conveyors can produce electrostatic energy that has to be drained away by grounding.

In an environment prone to static electricity the recommendation is to use materials with a resistance to earth in a range of 10⁴ to 10⁸Ω.

When textile chutes or connectors from conductive material are required it is important that you find a supplier who can reliably manufacture certified textile filters that conform to this standard.

DRM can offer a wide range of conductive materials and vast amounts of experience in the manufacture of conductive textile filters. DRM offers their customers an in-house testing facility to measure the resistance level of the finished filter.
