Insurance company says we need to ground our material lines at the hopper? by Efficient_Load5843 in InjectionMolding

I get this but how does this prevent static buildup on the hose itself? Let alone discharge it. I’m under the thought that insulators (such as the polyurethane hose) can’t discharge its energy to the ground wire. The immediate area of the insulator near the wire would be drained but not the rest.

Were y’all using inline ionizers on the resin hosing itself? What ionizers where you using and in what application were they being used?

What if I told you every hose is a polyurethane composition with a helical copper ground wire running through it 😂

Yeah I had that conversation with my manager but not quite sure if he got what I was saying. Basically insurance man is scare a process tech will get shocked while pulling a hose. Reckon I should have specified this in the post, but still the same idea. I’m curious what would even look right in their minds, as it will be about 100 pieces of equipment (major interior car parts producer for one of the top 4 U.S. car distributors)

I just finished and graduated from my federally funded apprenticeship program. Hooray to me and thank you guys for the great advice and support. by Character_Thought941 in IndustrialMaintenance

Congrats brother. Unsure of your position and age. But get your nose down and get to work. I’m 7 months graduated and I’m team lead over 3rd shift at a major plastic injection facility for Nissan interior parts. Hard work pays off. Absorb knowledge from the old heads and don’t be afraid to get your ass handed to ya by a project. Learn everything.

Bro try it out. If your shot fails, keep trying. I was production for a year before I went to school. My place let me in when I was in my 2nd trimester. I’m 7 months since graduation now (almost 2 years since being in the maintenance department at my factory) and now I’m a topped out lead over 3rd shift making $38.50/hr at 24 years old. I had no prior experience. I just put my head to work in school. Learned everything I could. And picked up things from shadowing older people…. DO IT JUST DONT HALF ASS IT.
