10011897 - Diversitech 10-Inch In-Line Spark Arrestor for Fume Extraction

Advanced Fire Protection for Fume Extraction Systems

The Diversitech 10" Spark Trap (SKU: DIVST-10) is an essential safety component engineered to protect industrial fume extraction systems from the hazards of sparks and embers. In metalworking environments, particularly those involving grinding, plasma cutting, or heavy welding, hot particulate matter can easily enter the ventilation ducting. Without intervention, these sparks can travel to the filter chamber, igniting the filter media and causing costly equipment damage or dangerous facility fires. This spark trap is designed to mitigate that risk effectively.

Constructed from heavy-gauge steel, the unit is installed in-line with standard 10-inch ductwork. It functions by creating turbulence and utilizing centrifugal force to throw heavier, hot particles against the outer walls of the trap or through a series of impingement plates. This process cools the sparks and extinguishes them before they can pass through to the collector unit. Despite its aggressive spark-arresting capabilities, the device is engineered to impose minimal static pressure drop, ensuring that the overall airflow and suction performance of the fume extractor remain uncompromised.

Integrating the DIVST-10 into your ventilation design not only enhances safety compliance but also protects your investment in filtration equipment. By preventing burn-throughs, it extends the operational life of filter cartridges and reduces unscheduled downtime associated with maintenance or fire-related incidents. It is a passive, maintenance-free solution that provides continuous protection for high-risk applications.
