An automotive supplier with a 4000 cfm dust collector had multiple fires every year in their dust collector. Each time they had a fire the collector was damaged and production was shut down because the plant filled with smoke. To solve this problem a 14" Spark Cooler was installed in the inlet duct before the dust collector. No fires have been reported for almost 2 years.
Manufacturing company that makes shocks and struts for the automotive market had a 36 cartridge dust collector rated at 18,000 cfm that was having fires every two months. A 28" Spark Cooler was installed before the inlet to the dust collector 14 months ago with no fires since the Spark Cooler was installed.
