Hunter Spring Static Grounding/Bonding Reels can be used when
combustible materials are transferred between carriers. For use where a
discharge of static electricity could cause a spark and subsequent
explosion, such as bulk stations, airports, terminals and refineries. Built
for reliable performance, Rota-Reel grounding reels feature a
SPIRATOR prestressed spiral spring for easy extension and automatic
retraction. A pawl and ratchet permits you to lock the cable at
any desired length. A simple tug on the cable unlocks the reel for
smooth, steady retraction. The standard termination is a 100 amp alligator clamp. A ball stop on the cable assembly keeps the cable end within easy reach. Rota-Reel
grounding reels feature a galvanized steel mounting base for
installation in any position and a sturdy steel housing with a weather
resistant finish to protect the reel from corrosion.
NOTE: Grounding and bonding during fuel handling operations can, at best, only prevent external electrical discharge in the presence of fuel vapor. It does not remove
bulk charges from the fuel and cannot prevent internal explosions. To minimize the risk, the conductivity of the fuel should be increased.
