SparkShield - Protect your extraction system against sparks and cigarette butts

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Plymovent introduces SparkShield, a cyclone spark arrester designed to protect extraction systems from sparks and cigarette butts, minimizing fire risks in welding fume extraction systems. With over 40 years of expertise in air cleaning, Plymovent offers solutions aligned with international guidelines.

Fire Prevention
Sparks are a common fire source in metalworking. SparkShield prevents sparks, spatters, and dust from reaching combustible filter cartridges and debris. It is also effective as a pre-separator for high-dust applications.

Functionality
SparkShield uses centrifugal acceleration to remove sparks from airflow, collecting them in a dustbin safely distanced from the main filter. The dustbin is easily separable and can be emptied during operation.

Design and Installation
The compact in-line design of SparkShield requires minimal floor space and ensures nearly 100% efficiency in removing fire sources. It is easy to install in existing systems using duct clamps, facilitating both installation and dismantling.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent fires. SparkShield is designed for easy maintenance with inspection hatches for checking ductwork cleanliness. Its divisible body simplifies maintenance tasks.

Applications
SparkShield is recommended for high-risk applications such as robotic welding of oily parts, manual and automatic welding of oily products, cutting tables, and welding schools.

Features

Effective removal of sparks and cigarette butts.
Compact design with easy maintenance.
Duct clamp connections for simple installation and service.
Optional inspection hatches for regular checks.
