Q. What is the use of a spark arrestor?

Answer

A spark arrestor is a tool that extinguishes sparks before they may damage another piece of equipment such a dust collector. Sparks which provide one of the three fundamental elements of an ignition: a feed supply oxygen and an ignite source are a frequent cause of flames in ducting and dust collectors. Sparks have the potential to ignite dirty filters or ductwork dust if they are not put out. Sparks are a frequent occurrence during metal cutting grinding and welding thus it is essential to take proactive measures to prevent them. By using a spark arrestor you may avoid both lesser fires that might take your dust collector down for a day or two and catastrophic fires that could begin in the filter medium and propagate across your facility. Production lines that rely on dust collectors might be stopped by these flames.
