Description
Spark Trap
The Airtight Spark Trap is an inline spark arrestor designed for industrial dust extraction systems where sparks may be generated and carried through the ductwork towards a dust collector or cyclone.
Installed within the ducting, the Spark Trap reduces the number of sparks that can reach downstream collection equipment, helping reduce the risk of spark-related fire events.
With no moving parts and no power required for operation, it provides a simple addition to the dust collector system without requiring complex controls or calibration.
Inline Spark Protection for Dust Extraction Systems
Processes involving cutting, grinding or other spark-generating operations can introduce ignition sources into extraction ductwork.
If these sparks travel through the ducting and reach collected combustible material within a dust collector or cyclone, they can create a potential fire risk.
The Airtight Spark Trap is installed in the duct run before the collector. As sparks pass through the unit, its internal design helps cool them before they continue towards downstream equipment.
Simple Installation and Operation
The Spark Trap requires no electrical supply and contains no moving parts, making operation straightforward.
It can be integrated into Airtight modular ducting or other duct systems using a suitable adaptor. The unit can also be removed from the ductwork when cleaning or inspection is required.
Flanged-end configurations are also available to suit different system requirements.
Part of a Broader Fire Protection Strategy
The Spark Trap is designed as one component within a broader dust extraction and fire protection strategy.
The appropriate protection measures will depend on the dust being handled, the process generating the material and the design of the complete extraction system. Where combustible dust or ignition hazards are present, system redundancy and complementary protection measures should be considered.
Airtight Solutions can assess the dust collector systems and help determine suitable ducting, dust collection and protection equipment for the application.
Applications
The Airtight Spark Trap is suited to dust extraction systems where sparks or hot particles may enter the extraction ductwork.
Common applications include:
- Industrial dust extraction systems
- Dust collection systems
- Spark-generating processes
- Grinding and metalworking applications
- Dust collector inlet ducting
- Cyclone dust collection systems
- Manufacturing and production facilities
- Woodworking and timber processing
- Industrial ducting systems
- Applications requiring additional spark protection before the dust collector
