Apr 25, 2016

Extinguish the threat of explosions with an Imperial Systems spark trap.

While it is imperative that every metalworking facility have highly efficient dust collection systems, it is just as crucial that metalworking facilities utilize a spark trap to provide even greater protection from these combustible hazards.

Spark-TrapImperial Systems has dedicated over a decade to preventing and reducing fires and explosions in metalworking and manufacturing facilities. We continually strive to meet and exceed the standards recommended by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the guidelines set out by the National Fire Protection Association with our highly efficient dust collection systems and replacement cartridge filters.

If you’re asking yourself if a spark trap is really necessary– the answer is yes! Consider the findings of the OSHA’s National Emphasis Program, which shows that metal dust accounts for 20% of explosions nationwide, and that 7% of ignition sources are ignited by fabricated metals while another 8% of ignition sources are caused by Primary metals. If you want to reduce the possibility of an accident at your metalworking facility, you MUST invest in spark arrestors!
